Tax guy 🇵🇹

🌟 Portugal just won “Economy of the Year 2025” according to The Economist! 🇵🇹 For the first time ever, Portugal tops the magazine’s annual ranking of the 36 largest advanced economies, overtaking last year’s winner (Spain) and leaving powerhouses like the US, Germany or Japan far behind. What made the difference? ✅ Stronger-than-expected GDP growth (projected 1.9–2.3 %, well above the eurozone average) ✅ One of the lowest inflation rates in Europe ✅ A soaring stock market (PSI-20 among the best performers globally in 2025) ✅ Record tourism numbers and foreign investment ✅ Attractive tax regimes pulling in high-net-worth individuals and digital nomads In the words of The Economist: “Portugal combined solid growth with tame prices and a buoyant stock market better than any other rich country.” From the country that was bailed out little more than a decade ago to the best-performing advanced economy of 2025! 🎉

🔥Another positive experience with a local shop owner 🇵🇹 My car got damaged in a hit-and-run by a municipal garbage truck (from the Câmara Municipal). I won't dwell on that frustrating part here... Instead, I'll jump straight to the great interaction I had with the repair shop Peças com Cor in Feijó. After clear communication and excellent work on the fix, it was time to pay. I was sitting in their classic garage office when the owner shared his bank details for the transfer. I made the payment via bank transfer (a "fiat" one, as we say in crypto circles) around 18:30 in the evening. He started refreshing his banking app over and over, looking puzzled. "It hasn't arrived in my account yet," he said. I smiled and explained: "It won't show up today. Banks are already closed for the day. The money will only appear tomorrow morning." He kept refreshing anyway. I reassured him: "Trust me. I'll send you the comprovativo (proof of transfer) right now to confirm it's gone through. "Then, half-joking, I added: "You know, if you'd accepted Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, you'd have the funds instantly. No more waiting for bank hours (Yes, I´m that person that pushes crypto into a conversation when I can). It works 24/7. "You should have seen his face, total confusion mixed with curiosity. "What money are you talking about? MB Way?""No," I said, "cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin. No need for opening hours or bank intermediaries. "He laughed, glanced at the business card I handed him with my contact details, and said something like, "Maybe one day…" We shook hands warmly as I left. Did I convert him to crypto on the spot? Probably not. But I suspect this was his first real-life encounter with the idea and sometimes that's all it takes. A few curious moments like this, and people start thinking differently about money. Small steps, right?

@TimHaldorsson Link to the viral Tiktok video?

I am currently in shipping mode, I am testing out different video formats and designa across all platforms. already have had a viral tiktok video, looking forward to accelerate and find the design style that works for me

@WillemvanOran18 Or 1 last financial crisis to show the weakness of banking.

@cryptaxpt "Maybe one day" ..... once BTC hits 1 million $, and when the normies start to understand that 'banks are not your friends'. Maybe it's a good idea to show the increasing # of retailers accepting BTC already. Madeira is a hot-spot. #10/32.63680/-16.97901" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">btcmap.org/map#10/32.6368…

@Cmorgado3 Also after working hours?

@cryptaxpt Sorry to Rain on your post but today most banks have instant transfers in Portugal...

@mariojhsaraiva Even after 17:00??

@cryptaxpt Today is possible to make an instant transfer with IBAN and the amount appears in seconds in the receiver, like MBWAY. I think only Banco CTT is not available to do that.

@soundwish02 Nice! Together we make Bitcoin payments mainstream.

@cryptaxpt Totally agreed! I also have that approach :)

@nunogomesvedeta Certo!

@cryptaxpt No mundo real existem transferências imediatas....

@TimHaldorsson Just some feedback: I think the video would be better without the background sound 🫶

“you will not have to work in a few years” but what if i want to work? this is the question. i run a marketing agency with 30 full-time employees and i'm over the next 30 days going to explore all the latest tools in design, copywriting, and analytics to make sure that i can future-proof my career as a marketeer.

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description

@yulikay @elonmusk I was about to respond that😂

@elonmusk no, you don't 😁

I don’t even smoke lol 💨

@decypher_xyz I think people are waiting on how long the war will last but yes some already take action. Besides crypto taxation, a great culture and most sunny days in Europe, Portugal is at the outskirts of Europe meaning it’s far from the Iran war and far from the Ukraine war.

@cryptaxpt So you would say that Portugal is becoming a "target" for people moving from Dubai? That's really big, as it could bring a lot of wealth to the country.

✅Portugal remains highly popular among crypto investors. These days, my main clients are primarily: 🔹Dutch nationals relocating ahead of the unrealized gains tax on investments (including crypto), which is set to take effect around 2028; 🔹Residents of Paraguay seeking to avoid disclosing their crypto holdings to what they view as a corrupt or increasingly intrusive government (with new mandatory reporting rules introduced in 2026); 🔹People from Dubai who are tired of the extreme heat and, even more so, concerned about the instability caused by the war that has broken out in the Middle East (leading some crypto figures and events to relocate or cancel plans there). Portugal continues to stand out thanks to its favorable tax treatment! Especially for long-term crypto holdings (over 365 days), which remain tax-free, combined with its EU stability, quality of life, and supportive environment for digital nomads and crypto enthusiasts.

@BritishTuga Really nice to see your project is doing well 💪

just in case it's of any interest, and to log everyone's kind suggestions and improvements I'm working on, I've added a public Trello board here 👉🏻trello.com/b/dKx7GTy7/fog…

@CantBeatDees @TheBlockLisboa @TheBlockLisboa Is there?

@cryptaxpt @TheBlockLisboa I’d love to go! This Friday there’s a meet up? I don’t have telegram though 😅

💡Lesson learned: Don't judge a book by its cover! I learned this the hard way a few years ago. As many of you know, I'm a regular at Crypto Fridays at @TheBlockLisboa, who hosts a weekly crypto meetup held every Friday evening in the heart of Lisbon. I could fill an entire book with the wild, memorable encounters I've had there over the years. This is just one of them. It was a typical Friday night. We were all sitting in a loose circle, beers in hand, deep in discussion about the latest DeFi plays, market trends, and whatever moonshot someone was shilling that week. Then, this unassuming guy, looking every bit like a broke university student, slid into the seat next to me. Dark hoodie pulled up over his head, scruffy unshaven beard, keeping a low profile, barely noticeable in the crowd. Out of nowhere, he leans in and quietly asks:"You know about income taxes, right? Thanks to some info that came my way, I was able to pull off a leveraged trade in DeFi last week... and made 3 million euros. How's something like that taxed?" I was floored. Back then, I was still pretty new to crypto myself. In my head, anyone making that kind of money had to fit the stereotype: sharp suit, Rolex gleaming on the wrist, living it up in Dubai, posting yacht pics on CT. That's the narrative CT (Crypto Twitter) sold us. But here was this hoodie-wearing, low-key dude casually dropping a seven-figure win like it was no big deal. I had judged him by his appearance and he just checkmated me without even trying. Fast forward to today: years later, he's still one of my clients. He doesn't pull off 3-million-euro weeks every month anymore, but he's doing consistently well and has built something solid. Moral of the story? Appearances in crypto can be wildly deceiving. The quiet guy in the hoodie at the bar might just be sitting on life-changing gains. Stay humble, keep an open mind, and never assume you know someone's story based on how they look.

@WillemvanOran18 Welcome! 🙏

@cryptaxpt A very good story from @cryptaxpt ! Don't think you can transfer large amounts to and from banks. If you want to streamline your transfers, get a certificate. It will save you a lot of hassle. @cryptaxpt thanks for the good support 🙏

⚡️Afraid the bank is blocking your transfer from the exchange? 🇵🇹 If you’ve ever tried to move your crypto gains into your bank account and hit unexpected friction, frozen transfers, long reviews, endless questions... There’s a solution that can make the process smoother! What You Need: A Crypto Compliance Certificate 📄 A Crypto Compliance Certificate is an official document issued by a specialized lawyer, often working with a certified AML (Anti-Money Laundering) team. It confirms that your crypto funds are legitimate, transparent, and fully compliant with legal and regulatory standards. In simple terms, it: 1️⃣ Confirms your crypto holdings are legitimate and traceable. 2️⃣ Verifies that your transactions were not involved in any suspicious or illicit activity. 3️⃣ Certifies that converting your crypto to fiat (cash) complies with tax and AML regulations. Think of it as your legal “green light” ✅, proof for banks, tax authorities, or even notaries (for example, when buying property) that your crypto-originated cash is clean, safe, and compliant. 🕵️ When Do You Need It? Banks often question large incoming transfers from crypto sources. Instead of explaining every transaction in detail or waiting through long reviews, this certificate instantly validates your funds. It saves time, reduces stress, and helps prevent potential account freezes or payment delays. 💡 Why Get One? 1️⃣ Stay Protected: Avoid unnecessary account blocks or frozen funds due to “unexplained” crypto deposits. 2️⃣ Legal Confidence: Show that your crypto activity fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations. 3️⃣ Speed & Flexibility: Move quickly when making major purchases, such as buying property, securing a mortgage, or cashing out large sums, without waiting for lengthy bank checks. 💬 Example: If you sell crypto now and want to move into cash before year-end, your taxable event will still be reported on your 2025 IRS return (filed in April 2026). Having a compliance certificate in hand makes this transition much smoother. 📧 Contact me for more information
