Difference between Crypto Investment via IRA and Non-IRA

According to iTrustCapital, when crypto holders invest through an IRA, there will be

Tax-Free trades: Buy and sell as often as you want without creating a taxable event.
No tracking: No taxable events mean no complex tracking needed.
Compounding gains: Realized gains roll over year over year within the account. Sorry, IRS…NOT sorry!
Tax-advantaged growth: Tax-deferred or tax-free distributions depending on the type of IRA.

On the other hand, when investing outside of an IRA:

Taxable trades: Every sale for a profit creates a capital gain tax; if the position is held for less than 1-year, it is short-term capital gains, and if held for over 1-year, it is long-term capital gains.
All movements must be tracked: Every buy, sell, and swap must be tracked accurately. If buying the same asset at different times and price points, a cost basis needs to be established for proper reporting.
IRS payments: All realized gains are taxed on a yearly basis. This reduces your available capital to make future investments.
