"Netherland commiting financial suicide by introducing 36% tax on unrealized gains from financial markets. People don't realize it yet but this is the most bullish narrative for SPOT Bitcoin and precious metals - Gold & Silver. Again not paper but SPOT. And as you can imagine more degenerated countries will likely follow suit. Whether there is a hidden intention behind to pump certain prices of assets or whether that is just pure stupidity I do not know. It will lead to a capital exodus from NL too. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2023357499873558622"

"I want to add to this question and include myself in this thought. What is the real reason for this crypto pull back as we have (in the last [--] months) decoupled from many metrics we thought drove price action in crypto Its one of the first times Ive looked around the market and not seen a specific answer. The most obvious is the [--] year cycle (and if its that easy then fair enough).
