I saw that the taxation topic is of interest. I propose a question: for 2025 there will be the possibility of paying 26% on capital gains or 18% on the entire amount of the portfolio.

Who is the first case convenient for and who is the second?

It is convenient to pay 26% to those who have load prices relatively close to current values. For example, I bought Bitcoin at 80k. Why? Because prices could potentially return to those levels and therefore it is convenient for me to be certain that I have collected the capital gains (therefore closed the operation).

It is convenient to pay 18% to those who have a very low load price (1 dollar, 10 dollars, 100 dollars, 1000 dollars, 10000 dollars), i.e. values ​​that presumably will never be touched again.

Why?

because at current prices the value of BTC is almost all capital gain (except in the case of 10k, of course) and this allows me to bring the load price higher and optimize the tax component. the advantage can be calculated in 26-18.. or 8%.

example.. I bought btc at 100 dollars, it is at 100k. with a 26% taxation I would pay 25974 of capital gain. if I use 18% I would pay 17982.

equally evident that if I bought at 100 and I have a significant share of #btc it is better for me to move my residence to another country, in countries where no taxes are paid on crypto or the taxes are very low. the assets in this sense would facilitate the move.
