Italy's Deputy Finance Minister Maurizio Leo announcing their plan to increase capital gains on Bitcoin from 26% to 42% because "the phenomenon is spreading."

... and because they can
the real fun will start with first serious government with balls big enough (or desperate enough) to print fiat to buy BTC and back the currency with it - I can't wait to see race for not being the last idiot - do I sound like a lunatic? I think it's rational and inevitableBy now everyone with a little brain has realized that FIAT money is being printed 24/7 and our governments can afford to borrow up to an infinite amount of euros/dollars...
All the countless taxes that governments impose on us are just a guarantee to keep us poor.
yeah this is it. Often they even actively oppsoed to it and harm normal people earning by requiring all sorts of nonsense beforehand.I don't remember any of the governments doing anything to help people making money with crypto,
how come they feel entitled to 42% of the profits?
Government is an institution of theft, fed and nurtured by stolen people's (who actually create value) money.

do they have special regulations in Italy? I always thought their slogan is black money is good money?especially in crypto, the nonsense stupid regs are annoying af.
just like a good ol emerging market. With the added caveat of having the parasites funded by euro from eu instead of a total banana currency.do they have special regulations in Italy? I always thought their slogan is black money is good money?
sort of reminds the islamic banking principlesand apparently this is their reasoning:
they claim that the extra tax is fair as cryptos do not serve a social purpose as prescribed by the doctrine of the Catholic Church

Still better than Denmark at 42% for unrealized gains.
