**misha**: this doesn’t feel friendly at all 😅

**tim**: unrealized gains taxes are always so insane. In Germany we now also have them for ETFs. 

**macbudkowski.eth**: so you have to dump some ETFs every year to cover your taxes? :o

**tim**: No because I hodl a negligible amount of ETFs. But for sure they‘re coming for my crypto too, so that they can waste it on stupid stuff

**pfedprog.eth**: With the volatility in crypto this is absolutely insane

**simplifiedprivacy.eth**: If you tax unrealized gains, then smaller assets can't rise, because of the selling to pay the gains

**pfedprog.eth**: Well, you have to either adjust to crypto taxes deadlines or not declare your crypto because of what they define as crypto? What about the loyalty points at your local Starbucks or grocery.
