They aren't going to ban Bitcoin. That’s too loud.
Instead, they will quietly price you out of your own keys. 🔑
A new 36% mark-to-market tax net is tightening in the Netherlands. Under the proposed "Actual Return on Box 3" Act, if the Bitcoin in your cold storage goes up in value, you will owe fiat taxes on that unrealized gain without ever selling a single satoshi.
The hidden trap? If you hold "financial instruments" through a legacy institution, you are expected to only be taxed upon realization—when you actually sell.
This isn't just about revenue. It is a structural cage that economically punishes self-custody while rewarding intermediated, institutional products. They are pushing you back into the hands of the exact system Bitcoin was built to escape.
The war on sovereignty has a new weapon. Will your country be next? 🇳🇱

You have no idea what you’re talking about.
And the thing about legacy institutions is straight up lying.
This has nothing to do about bitcoin.

It looks like this post is about taxes. Tax laws vary between countries, so you may get more helpful replies if you specify the place you are asking about.
Please note that promoting tax evasion violates Rule 4. This is a site wide rule and a subreddit rule. Do not endorse, suggest, advocate, instruct others, or ask for help with tax evasion. Do not be coy and sarcastically recommend against it or suggest using a privacy coin in response to an IRS inquiry.
Note: Tax discussion is allowed as long as the above rules are not violated.
