Tax and Contribution based ESA

I want to invest in Cryptocurrency and after some research I have found out that any gains are subject to Capital Gains Tax and any passive income is subject to 'miscellaneous' income tax. Does anyone know whether such investments would impact my ESA?

Investments do not have any impact on ESA that is entirely contributions based.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

Trading in crypto currency should come with a very clear warning, there are many rogue "traders" out there, and the value of C.C can fluctuate wildly.
My advice would be to tread carefully.I am a person with epilepsy not an epileptic, my illness doesn't define me. -
Thanks for the warning @woodbine. I appreciate the dangers and have done a lot of research. I will definitely ensure that I only invest what I am willing to lose.
