When you (or other WO members) talk or worry about taxes on Bitcoin/crypto, there are always solutions to reduce them or even bring them down to 0% (or close).

-If your holdings/net worth are significant enough, consider changing your residency and moving to a more tax-friendly country.

-Of course, for those who are 'unlucky' enough to have U.S. citizenship, it's a bit more complicated but still possible from VHNWI+. For example, invest in Portugal or other countries offering citizenship within 1–5 years. You could also consider adding a second passport through a Citizenship by Investment (CBI) program (e.g., in the Caribbean or Turkey) or even in LATAM as a Plan B for a third passport. Eventually, you can renounce U.S. citizenship, and not be taxed anymore on your passport citizenship.

What I’m saying might seem extreme to some, but at a certain level of wealth, achieving tax freedom (and personal freedom) makes sense—especially if you feel concerned or annoyed by tax burdens. Of course, all of this comes with sacrifices (moving to another country, starting a new life, etc.). But life is always about choices; you can't have everything without sacrificing something in return.
