 You really think bitcoin is gonna pump to $1 million + and they’re just going to sit there and do…nothing? 

It’s all coming via these avenues/vehicles. nostr:note1px3dspgqmj66a38xrj5dcrnhk7gcwgx7kygr5vs0uwwjrtqwh3gq4aqjav

 This isn’t the piece he wrote. Forbes rewrites the URL when you scroll; annoying. Corrected in first reply.

 Pure fud to shake out plebs. They won’t take on blackrock or tank their relavancy in the very obviously changing financial world order (brics etc).

 The tax of unrealized gains or higher taxes on crypto specifically (not ETFs and stocks….) is definitely on the table, and too much so for my comfort!

 I don’t think it’ll happen but being in bitcoin has mentally prepped me to eat the exit tax and retire early abroad. Not a terrible deal.

 The threat is there, but they will find making it a reality impossible.

 I've been thinking about this whole "unrealized gains" thing...
How are they supposed to implement this?
How can you tax something that technically doesn't have accessible value? 

If my $1000 investment has unrealized gains of $100 and they want to tax that... 
(assuming I'm broke and can't pay that out of pocket) 
I'd have to sell 100 dollars worth of my investment to cover? 
So then THAT sale is now a taxable event too?

How is this a reasonable solution?
