I disagree with this because, for starters, there are countries without capital gains tax. And then there is income that is considered “passive,” such as rental income, which is not so passive, especially if you manage the rentals yourself.


Sell and re-buy? When we talk about passive income with bitcoin, it's because you've reached a level where you don't have to repurchase. Since you gave that example, I'll give you another: you bought 1,000 bitcoins more than a decade ago, and with your lifestyle, you only need 1 bitcoin a year to live (at current prices). All you have to do is click twice when you need to sell.
