Even better, no tax on profit if you hodl 1 year: "You purchased Bitcoin for 8,000 euros in 2022 and sell this cryptocurrency for 20,000 euros in 2024.Consequence: As more than one year has passed between the purchase and sale, you do not have to pay tax on the profit of EUR 12,000 from the sale of the Bitcoin."
But: you NEVER sell your bitcoin 🫡
Spending it also counts as selling, for tax purposes.
tax purposes are a coercive form of self incrimination
they can't chase everyone and they pick the ripe low hanging fruit not the skimpy ones
A better phrasing would be "tax collectors call spending selling"
Your phrasing implies they're not lying, which hurts your brain and the brains of your readers in a psychic way imo
This is an overarching problem across the English language (don't know about others)
