The company Strategy has reached a historic peak with a cash reserve of 848,000 bitcoins, worth $72 billion, after purchasing 334 bitcoins for about $29 million, thereby consolidating its position as a leader among companies holding this cryptocurrency. #Bitcoin #Crypto #Stratégie (translated)

Phil Konieczny wrote that on that day it had been exactly 12 months since the beginning of the supercycle. He stated that Bitcoin was then more than 30% below its historical maximum, and at the peak moment, the decline in this supercycle exceeded 50%. He announced that he would record a video with conclusions and thoughts on this topic and discuss the further fate of the cycles. https://t.co/4IqxSUTSNV #Bitcoin #kryptowaluty #supercykl (translated)

Roman Reher criticized the planned taxation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that Lars Klingbeil wanted to change. According to Reher, profits after a holding period of one year would no longer be tax-free. He wrote that there was no understandable reason given for why Bitcoin should be taxed differently than gold. According to Reher, the tax could bring in up to 350 million euros in additional revenue per year. However, the yet-to-be-determined effort for implementation could exceed these revenues, as the change would impose significant administrative burdens on tax offices, states, and companies. Reher also wrote that the tax would relieve high-earning traders, who currently pay their personal income tax rate on sales within a year. In contrast, long-term savers who want to independently save for retirement would be worse off. In his assessment, the media showed little interest in Klingbeil's crypto tax. #Kryptowährungen #Steuerpolitik #Finanzen (translated)

The Greece Crypto Degen Club announced that it would hold a live broadcast for members at 20:00, lasting up to one hour. It mentioned that the discussion would cover the possibility of Bitcoin reaching $94,000, developments in altcoins, and questions and answers. https://t.co/bymiw0eA5d #crypto #Bitcoin #altcoins (translated)

Frank Schäffler wrote that Klingbeil's plans for the Bitcoin holding period would lead to short-term speculators paying less and long-term savers paying more. Alexander Jordan (CDU) shares this assessment and opposes the abolition of the holding period, according to Schäffler. A tax law that penalizes patience is unnecessary, he added. #Bitcoin #Haltefrist #Bitcoin #Steuerrecht #Sparen (translated)

Jaime Merino from TradingLatino wrote that lateral periods could make traders impatient, as they often expected each candle to continue rising after a move. He added that Bitcoin's pauses could generate doubts and trades motivated by boredom, and pointed out that patience was also part of trading. https://t.co/37wvfAZCAa #Bitcoin #trading #paciencia (translated)

Blocktrainer reported that different positions regarding the planned change in crypto taxation were gradually emerging within the Union, after the responses from members of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group had long been almost identical. Parliamentary group leader Thorsten Frei described the assessment as unclear and simultaneously pointed to the group's responsibility to ensure adequate funding for the federal budget. He did not rule out compromises. CDU member Roderich Kiesewetter, on the other hand, saw no convincing reason to treat Bitcoin differently from gold. He argued that Bitcoin fundamentally differs from traditional investments due to the absence of an issuer, ongoing interest or dividend payments, and the securitization of company shares. He referred to proximity to physical gold or foreign currencies as an appropriate benchmark within the framework of § 23 EStG. CSU member Lenz saw no reason to change the existing regulation, citing the coalition agreement and tax law principles. Felix Schreiner, parliamentary manager of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, described the holding period as sensible because it promotes long-term and self-responsible wealth accumulation. He viewed a blanket abolition critically and announced his intention to advocate for the maintenance of the one-year holding period in the further parliamentary process. Blocktrainer also called on Union representatives to be contacted and to point out the problems it sees with the planned change. #KryptoSteuer #Bitcoin #Bundestag (translated)

Madelon Vos wrote that the plans for the new box 3 system, which were announced last week, had caused unrest among politicians, savers, entrepreneurs, and investors. Although the capital gains tax was presented as a victory, she argued that small savers and investors would be the victims. Additionally, people would temporarily have to pay taxes annually on paper gains from bitcoin and precious metals, even if they had not sold anything. Vos also pointed to rising global interest rates and a greater interest rate differential between France and Germany. She wondered what that indicated about investor confidence and how much room governments still had if inflation and scarcity of raw materials further pushed up interest rates. According to her, the higher interest rates would also affect the real estate market: Dutch houses could depreciate in real terms next year. In an episode of Madelon Praat, she discussed how taxes, interest, and inflation impacted people's wealth. https://t.co/hVinv3HF4l #belasting #rente #inflatie (translated)

Rusk0f criticized Deblock, Waltio, and Lyzi, whom he presented as three French leaders in the cryptocurrency sector. He believed that France was already one of the worst countries in the world to hold or trade cryptocurrencies and that their proposal could worsen the situation. He wished for their clients to boycott them until they were forced to close. #Crypto #France #Bitcoin (translated)

Frank Schäffler wrote that Roderich Kiesewetter (CDU) had responded to a citizen's inquiry regarding the holding period for Bitcoin. Kiesewetter pointed out that Bitcoin has no issuer, pays no interest or dividends, and does not represent a share in a company. Therefore, Bitcoin is classified for tax purposes, as it has been since 2013, alongside gold and foreign currencies under § 23 EStG; equating it with stocks ignores the nature of these assets. Schäffler agreed with the response and wrote that punishing long-term savings weakens the middle class, while broken tax promises cost trust. In his assessment, the responses from the Union faction showed that the draft proposal there did not have a secure majority. He added that those who had not yet written to their representatives should do so now. #Bitcoin #Haltefrist #EStG #Bitcoin #Steuern #Finanzen (translated)

The author wrote that the EU Commission plans full access to the citizens' money. According to his presentation, the MiCA regulation imposes bureaucratic constraints on the financial freedom enabled by Bitcoin, while Ursula von der Leyen promotes the Digital Euro. He expressed opposition to the Digital Euro. https://t.co/nEOooRPCJk #DigitalerEuro #Bitcoin #FinanzielleFreiheit #EU #DE (translated)

Frank Schäffler wrote that Union faction leader Thorsten Frei described the assessment of the Bitcoin holding period as unclear and pointed out that the budget needed to be financed. Schäffler concluded that long-term savers should therefore pay a tax relief, and referred to this as a fictitious entry rather than as counter-financing. #Haltefrist https://t.co/wF9OlXsxmn #Bitcoin #Steuern #Finanzen (translated)

Felix Schreiner, PGF of the CDU/CSU faction: The one-year holding period is "reasonable," but he views a blanket abolition critically. He wants to advocate for its retention. The resistance in the Union is growing. Write to your representatives! #Bitcoin #HoldingPeriod #Bitcoin #Haltefrist https://t.co/RRpSaotymB #CDU #Bitcoin #Haltefrist (translated)

I think the upcoming crypto (Bitcoin) cycle will be different from the previous ones. Unfortunately, that will catch a lot of people off guard, as everything will happen much faster and differently. We completely shaved the last cycle, and of course I hope that we can cash out in this one too. Currently, I am really satisfied with our BTC position 😊 I wish you all good luck/success and don't let yourselves be pushed around in the next 1-2 years 😋 #Krypto #Bitcoin #Investieren (translated)

I just saw the debate between @MPHoogeveen and @Stas_Financien about the difference in taxation between directly held bitcoin, in a wallet or on an exchange (capital gains tax), and bitcoin through an investment product at a bank or broker (wealth tax). @Stas_Financien states that crypto cannot be included in the amendment, because the existing exception for start-ups and scale-ups can only be extended to other securities. But is that really true?! An amendment is a legislative proposal with which you can modify and/or supplement another legislative proposal. The fact that there is currently no exception for crypto (and precious metals) does not automatically mean that you cannot add one. If speed is the reason to accept that difference, then concretely justify why direct crypto/precious metals cannot be included in time. My question would be: What concrete legal provision makes it impossible for crypto/precious metals to be included in the same amendment? Saying "that exception was not included yet" is not sufficient. It didn't exist for start-ups either, but was also added. Think of an addition for regulated institutions, exchanges, or brokers that have a license or AFM permit. #Crypto #Belasting #Wetgeving (translated)

The cabinet wants to spare the small saver and investor with small changes. Then the threshold will most likely go up from 1000 euros to 1500 euros? But so far, there seems to be no change in sight for (small) crypto, bitcoin, and precious metal investors regarding the wealth accumulation tax. #spaarders #beleggen #cryptovaluta (translated)
