Frank Schäffler welcomed the fact that the Economic Council of the CDU also rejected the abolition of the holding period for Bitcoin. He wrote that expected additional revenues of 83 million euros were offset by high bureaucracy costs, and that abolition would disadvantage long-term savings and promote short-term speculation. He also pointed out that the Union had promised not to introduce new taxes. Schäffler said that the cabinet appointment had fallen through and the pressure was showing results. The holding period must be maintained, he wrote. https://t.co/Bb26xkCobx #Bitcoin #Steuern #Wirtschaft (translated)
