Developer ⚡️ I write code so you don’t get KYC’d. Bullish on code, bearish on bureaucrats. @nadanada_me













I may have been a bit too optimistic with my prediction that the EU would ban or regulate VPNs within five years. It looks like they’ll do it within a year. It terrifies me how many relatively sane people who believe in the EU justify this totalitarian, dystopian practice and explain its necessity. Something that was considered a totalitarian practice in China or Russia 10 years ago is now seen as a political necessity in the EU as part of the fight against hybrid threats, Russia, child pornography, etc. Hello! Based on what it plans and does, the EU is actually showing signs of a dystopian society! I am currently in developed Japan, and there are no state-enforced cash limits here, no Age Control, no MiCA, DAC-8, or other dystopian EU regulations. Online anonymity is the norm here.

Jetzt geht es Schlag auf Schlag. Kaum hat Finanzminister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) die Büchse der Pandora mit seiner Ankündigung einer Krypto-Steuer geöffnet, will die Linke-Fraktion im Bundestag einen Antrag einbringen. Demnach sollen Kryptowerte wie "Einkünfte aus Kapitalvermögen" besteuert werden (nach §20 EStG), also Abgeltungsteuer, Soli und ggf. Kirchensteuer unterliegen. Auch die Wegzugsbesteuerung (§6 AStG) soll greifen!

Good Morning from Germany, where taxes and social security contributions now take almost half of the avg gross salary. About 14% goes to income taxes, while roughly 35% is spent on non-wage labor costs such as pensions, health insurance, and unemployment insurance. Among developed countries, only Belgium has a higher overall burden.


"Wir wollen Kryptowährungen anders besteuern" – Finanzminister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) gerade in der Bundespressekonferenz. Der Ehrliche dürfe nicht der Dumme sein
