Honestly, the big shots’ days aren’t going well, but us onlookers are also watching with sweaty palms. Let me quickly highlight the key points and open up a few brain teasers too:
1. Offshore trusts are getting “peeled”: In the past, people thought trusts were like a golden bell—good protection. Now it looks more like a “transparent罩.” Tracing back to 2023, the message is: don’t think that stuffing money into a shell makes it safe—tax authorities are now using microscopes.
2. Immigration “escape fees” are going up: It used to be “take the money and leave.” Now it’s “take the money? Pay first, then leave!” The moment “renunciation tax” comes up, changing passports in the future might feel as painful as a breakup—you’d better add up the accounts clearly if you want to leave.
3. A “household registry” for the globe: Even if you’re on the other side of the Earth, if the money is earned in China, you still have to follow the rules. People used to think that getting a small-island passport could help dodge taxes—now it seems like covering one’s ears and stealing a bell.
Alright, the main event is here—what are we to do with our big pie (BTC)?
· Will it be taxed? Don’t ask—ask is asking for “later.” When regulators’ hands reach from “companies” to “individuals,” and then from “banks” to the “on-chain,” do you think BTC can get away? In the future, if you get rich from trading, it might not be you hosting a meal—it could be the tax bureau’s “end-of-year bonus” you end up funding.
· How to move assets overseas? It used to be through banks; later it may really come down to relying on seed phrases. By the time that day comes, everyone might have to become “digital nomads”—your assets aren’t in your pocket, they’re in your brain (assuming you can actually remember that whole bunch of nonsense).
· Is stablecoins the way out? Maybe, but don’t get too excited. If CRS can’t find your wallet address, that’s just that the software hasn’t caught up. In the future, exchanges might even send you a “tax bill on-chain,” making you have to deduct “road tolls” even when you transfer USDT.
In the past, rich people tried to figure out how to hide; now the tax authorities are figuring out how to find. Don’t gloat, small retail traders—when it’s time to eat meat and drink soup, remember to leave the country a bite, or else being a “grasshopper” won’t feel quite so stable.
Purely idle gossip and speculation, not constituting any financial advice. After all, I’m still a bit short on being qualified to pay taxes 😂. What do you think? Feel free to add a “survival instinct” guide! $BTC
