Netherlands' Bitcoin Unrealized Gains Tax Sparks Mass Exodus
To be honest, the fact that there's the unrealized gains tax for #Bitcoin in the Netherlands is the dumbest thing I've seen in a long time. The amount of people willing to flee the country is going to be bananas.

Netherlands to Levy 36% Tax on Bitcoin Gains
Today, the Dutch parliament has decided to approve the tax on realized gains. That means: 36% on realized gains on #Bitcoin, and stocks. This will be going in practice on the 1st of January 2028. Complete insanity. What does this exactly mean? Well,...
