    Tax-Efficient Structures for Holding Bitcoin in the Netherlands

    Did you acquire your BTC via non-KYC means? If yes, why on earth do you want to report your holdings to the government? Remember, you lost it all in that boating accident a while back ;) Also (which has been repeated ad-nauseam in this forum), leave the EU while you still can.
