Netherlands Will Tax Your Crypto - Even If You Never Sell
Netherlands just approved a 36% tax on unrealized crypto gains. Read that again. You don’t sell. You don’t take profit. You just hold. And you owe 36% on paper gains. If your portfolio doubles in a bull run - pay up. If it crashes next year - doesn’t matter. You were already taxed. Taxing money you never actually received changes the game entirely. It increases risk, reduces long-term conviction, and pushes capital elsewhere. This is how wealth and innovation migrate - to Dubai, Portugal, Singapore. Pay attention. Policies like this don’t stay local for long. Protect your capital. Plan accordingly.
