Italy's Deputy Finance Minister Maurizio Leo announcing their plan to increase capital gains on Bitcoin from 26% to 42% because "the phenomenon is spreading."

... and because they can
 
By now everyone with a little brain has realized that FIAT money is being printed‌ 24/7 and our governments can afford to borrow up to an infinite amount of euros/dollars...‍

All the countless taxes that governments impose on us are just a guarantee to keep⁠ us poor.
 
the real fun will start with first serious⁤ government with balls big enough (or desperate enough) to print fiat to buy BTC and⁣ back the currency with it - I can't wait to see race for not being⁢ the last idiot - do I sound like a lunatic? I think it's rational and︀ inevitable

I'm grateful I experienced the onset of personal computers, internet, dot.com, mobile phones, e-commerce,︁ the mobile wave and bitcoin.... I feel like bitcoinization of nation states will be the︂ last bit I'm missing... dreamer... huh?
 
yeah this is it. Often they even actively⁤ oppsoed to it and harm normal people earning by requiring all sorts of nonsense beforehand.⁣
especially in crypto, the nonsense stupid regs are annoying af.
 
just like a good ol emerging market.‍ With the added caveat of having the parasites funded by euro from eu instead of⁠ a total banana currency.
 
I am glad being a PT, not staying more than 180 days anywhere for years,‌ and not having to deal with this BS.

But I think it might be time‍ to get some additional citizenships, to be able to have a plan B when the⁠ whole of EUSSR starts taxing based on citizenship.
 
it's quite‍ easy to become perpetual traveler however way more complicated not to be seen as tax⁠ resident (anywhere)

maybe I'm too optimistic but EU will sooner⁢ fall apart...
 
I must admit, it had faded into the back of my mind, and when I first⁤ came across it, I actually thought it was a decent idea: you own nothing, you⁣ have no privacy, and everyone knows what you do and who you are.

Today, I⁢ shake my head at myself when I think about it, how brainwashed one can be.︀

Ida Auken is the daughter of an otherwise very sympathetic and now late politician.

But like so many of the young, power-hungry, and delusional politicians, she is like a cancerous︁ tumor to society and future generations.
 
You are right of course, it‍ depends on the individual circumstances and citizenship, as well as the countries of (temporary) residence.⁠ Much harder as an US citizen, or someone with a property, or wife and children⁤ that reside somewhere officially.

But fortunately it's not impossible, and of course it's easier if⁣ one doesn't run a business at all, stays away from US/EU, and has no need⁢ for bank accounts or brokerage there. No business -> no income -> no tax.
 
It might‌ be a little OT, as we are here at offshoreCORPtalk, but no income generating business‍ -> no taxable income -> no tax.

There are still places where 'crypto bros' could⁠ care less if they are PTs or residents, as crypto isn't recognized nor regulated or⁤ taxed there. Being a PT is just a second layer that by keeping moving around⁣ helps avoid doxxing issues like that: https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks

(Of course only if they officially ceased their⁢ residency in their home country, are not US citizens, don't have any connections to their︀ home country and even better if they don't even visit there. Even better if one︁ can insert an official residency in a second country (none of the EU) and ceases︂ being resident there as well (officially and visa-wise) before doing the PT thing. I That︃ should be good enough, no?)
