🇬🇧 A tale in two acts: 1. First, the UK increased the capital gains tax increase expected to bring additional tax revenue. Instead, high-net-worth individuals and families left the country, leading to an 18% fall in net capital gains tax revenue. A £2.7b loss. 2. Now, The UK

EUROPEAN CAPITAL CONTROL 🇬🇧 The UK plans to “temporarily” impose strict caps on stablecoin holdings, including a £20,000 ($26,350) limit for individuals. I don’t think enough people see this for what it is. A Digital Executive Order 6102. European countries are bankrupt and

UK to tax unrealized gains on exit. I've been warning you: European countries are bankrupt and will try to tax you globally. Get yourself out of the UK. And get a second passport from a tax-friendly jurisdiction.
The exit tax has been confirmed and is happening. 🤦♂️ Multiple credible sources say @TorstenBell is driving it with Minouche in support. Torsten... I get it. We just saw Nik from Revolut move to Dubai and pay zero capital gains tax. This looks like a simple solution. It's not.

France to tax unrealized gains on Bitcoin. I've been warning you: EU countries are bankrupt and will try to seize your assets. Get your BTC off the exchanges. And get yourself out of the EU.
FRANCE PUSHES UNREALIZED GAINS TAX ON BITCOIN 🇫🇷 French MPs have voted to advance a proposal replacing France’s property wealth tax with a broader levy on “unproductive wealth.” This would include assets like Bitcoin, jewellery, art, yachts, property and other “luxury” items.

Who decides when Americans pay more for imports—the President or Congress? The Constitution couldn’t be clearer: only Congress has the power to tax and impose tariffs. Our Founders made sure no single person could declare new taxes by decree. NCLA is fighting to make sure the
