20% is pretty standard tax rate for things like capital gains. It's also the entry level income tax bracket for many countries.
The rate in this country related to the incomes taxes it currently at 18% (the highest has been 20%) So what? Not much difference compared the incomes. Any income shall be taxed, there is nothing wrong. At least the citizens know where the government stands, but generally speaking, any citizen knows there will be a tax.

Did they made this 19 and half to it doesn't seem too high?! Why not to make it 19 or 20%? The tax is pretty high by my opinion. Such politic surly will not help to crypto adoption and popularity in Ukraine.
What does it matter whether it's up or lower another percent? Paying taxes is expected in the vast majority of countries, and bitcoin or any other industry isn't exempt from taxes so paying them shouldn't be a deterrent to anyone other than those who are just using bitcoin to evade taxes.
