I trade a $1 coin = capital loss of $1

for another coin worth $1 = capital gain of $1

My net capital gain is 0?

You're not taxed until you have met your initial amount you put in. If you break even you don't pay taxes.

Simple. Taxable income = capital gain - capital loss.
So in your case, you have a capital gain of $4 and a capital loss of $1, so you are taxed from those $3.
