Marc Friedrich wrote that France is bankrupt, characterized by unrest, and has a state quota of 57 percent. At the same time, he believes the country needs more and more taxes and sources of revenue. In the finance committee of the National Assembly, an exit tax on cryptocurrencies has been decided: Those leaving the country with more than 800,000 euros in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will have to pay; coins on exchanges will also be affected. Starting from January 1, 2027, exchanging into stablecoins will also be considered a taxable sale. The proposal will go into the budget debate on October 13. Friedrich warned that first money will be devalued, then assets will be taxed that people use to escape from this money, and finally the escape itself will be taxed. He wrote that the planned tax is part of creeping capital controls; France is just the beginning, and Germany is closely watching the development. He described Bitcoin as freedom rather than a speculative object and wrote that the state wants to control it for this reason. He advised diversifying assets and also thinking across different countries and legal systems. #Frankreich #Bitcoin #Steuern (translated)
