This is a video on our Dutch business network RTLZ. It can’t be found online with RTL anymore, just like some other material where I got to be in mainstream in the Netherlands.
This specific piece was critical. In the preparation we talked about the €2.5 billion additional tax that is going to be taken from bitcoin hodlers under new DAC8 regulation.
The lady starts off with 2.5 billion of tax evasion currently ongoing by bitcoiners… Gaslighting at its finest.
Apart from that all economic and personal data from exchanges from 2026-01-01 will be put into a central EU tax authority database.
The laws have passed the implementation is finalized.
If you are in EU and hodl or transfer anything through a regulated exchange, be aware. Your name and activity will be in this Central European tax database with every bitcoin move you do through these parties from the 1st of January.
People around me are saying this is insane, I just look at it as the final push to also use bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
You simply don’t want to be in this database with a bitcoin number behind your name.
Oh and if you’re interested in the details, you do know that politicians, royalty and extremely wealthy people have an exempt status and a separate account and physical database with the tax authorities, right?
