The EU Just Declared WAR on Your Wealth!

— European Commission released research on wealth taxes, inheritance taxes, and exit taxes designed to extract more revenue from citizens without triggering mass emigration.

— Netherlands moving forward with unrealized gains tax (Box 3 accrual tax) beginning January 2028, taxing asset appreciation before sale—a departure from traditional capital gains taxation.

— U.S. national debt has exceeded GDP for the first time since World War Two, signaling critical fiscal deterioration and historical precedent for system collapse.

— Michael Saylor stated MicroStrategy may sell Bitcoin to pay shareholder dividends, contradicting his previous "never sell" messaging but arguably demonstrating Bitcoin's utility as money.

— Peter Schiff's continued criticism of Bitcoin's $78,000 price dismissed as fundamentally flawed, given his failure to account for perpetual fiat debasement against Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply cap.

— Fort Knox gold audit remains unavailable; suspected impure gold holdings underscore Bitcoin's superior auditability and transparency compared to legacy assets.

— Consider jurisdictional arbitrage: Unrealized gains taxes and exit taxes make relocation increasingly urgent. Hosts emphasize that Plan B residencies are no longer luxury but necessity for wealth preservation.

— Self-custody is non-negotiable: Bitcoin held in personal custody cannot be seized by governments regardless of legislation. This applies uniquely to Bitcoin and separates it from all other assets or systems.

— Fiat denominator deterioration favors Bitcoin: With debt-to-GDP ratios unsustainable and money printing structural to the system, pricing Bitcoin in fiat understates its value. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million contrasts with infinite fiat expansion.
