They want to abolish the tax exemption for Bitcoin and cryptos after a holding period of one year
It may not itch you, as you are not invested anyway. But after that comes gold & silver. Then comes real estate (10 years). Finally come watches, art, vintage cars, spirits, wines and everything else.
In 1999, the speculation period for securities was extended from 6 to 12 months by the SPD and the Greens. In 2009, it was completely abolished by the CDU and SPD and replaced by today's flat-rate withholding tax + solidarity surcharge. More than 14 million small investors and savers are affected by this today. The greedy state is hindering your prosperity and private pension provision.

Finance Minister Klingbeil hints that the 1-year holding period for Bitcoin and cryptos should be dropped,
so that he can give away and burn even more money. Old-age provision is to be made more difficult. Poverty in old age is encouraged. 11 million people own BTC / cryptos in Germany. SPD = They are plundering Germany .
Austria collected exactly EUR 33.84 million in 2024 as a result of the abolition of the one-year holding period and the introduction of the flat-rate crypto tax (27.5% capital gains tax), which corresponds to just 0.57% of total capital gains tax revenue. This means that the actual tax revenue falls massively short of the government's initial expectations, which had originally hoped for new revenue of up to 300 million euros; the hoped-for big windfall for the state budget by putting cryptocurrencies on an equal footing with traditional shares has therefore definitely failed to materialize.

My story: Towards Bitcoin ₿
Hey dear Getquiner, in this post I'll tell you how my journey to Bitcoin went.
1. the beginning
The first time I really heard about Bitcoin was in mid-2021 during my apprenticeship. A fellow trainee was very active in the crypto space and explained to us how it worked. At first, I didn't really understand why we needed a "new" currency - "We have the euro," I thought to myself.
Another colleague, who was also new to the topic (it was about halving), asked at the time:
"But then why shouldn't I buy bitcoin directly now if they automatically become worth more and more?" He had no idea how right he would be in retrospect.
For my 18th birthday in November 2022, my colleagues gave me a USB stick with a software wallet and 100 USD in BTC (at that time at a price of around €15,800). That was about 0.0063 BTC. At the time, I just thought it was cool to "own" Bitcoin without really understanding the deeper background.
As the price rose, I bought more until I was at 0.0115 BTC. In May 2024, I then sold at the new all-time high with a 164% profit. Best of all, the profit was tax-free as I had held for over a year.
But then came the fall: What happened to the profit is a topic for another post.... 😅 Just this much: I got incredibly screwed because I bought a hype stock completely unknowingly shortly after I opened my Trade Republic account.
Can you guess which stock it was in May 2024? Post it in the comments! 👇
2. the journey to becoming a bitcoiner
In August 2024, driven by FOMO from new highs, I started buying again. This time Bitcoin and Solana. I got my information from YouTube videos that promised "10x profits by tomorrow".
After the highs came the big drop in September 2025 and the start of the bear market. When I realized that it would be a long time before I saw my entry prices again, I started to really to really delve into the matter.
Through youtubers like https://www.youtube.com/@Bitbulldaily and videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBC-nXj3Ng4 I delved deeper and deeper into the subject. Later, I also learned about ETFs and investing in general via https://www.youtube.com/@Finanzfluss and https://www.youtube.com/@Finanzbaeruntil I had this video on my YouTube homepage on 09.11.2025: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gOhd7waSG8
This video of Bitcoin with ODB had sparked my interest in really wanting to understand the whole thing. I then started to really read and understand the Bitcoin whitepaper, through channels like https://www.youtube.com/@exitmanual to get the most important things explained and to understand the whole system behind FIAT currencies, the central banks, the gold standard, what makes a good currency and above all Bitcoin better and better.
3. the future
Today, Bitcoin stands at a price of around €64,400 and is on its way to becoming my largest position and I feed it regularly via a savings plan. Despite my conviction, I continue to hold and invest in ETFs. I will explain why this is the case (although I am bullish for BTC) in one of the next posts.
My conclusion: Feel free to check out more in-depth content (such as from Bitcoin with ODB) if the topic interests you or leave a follow so you don't miss further posts on Bitcoin and importantly, don't rush into anything. Becoming a Bitcoiner is a process that doesn't happen overnight.
Crypto assets record inflows of 224 million US dollars - XRP tops the rankings
$XRP (+0.46%) recorded the largest inflows of all assets, attracting USD 119.6 million - the highest figure since mid-December 2025.
Digital asset investment products recorded inflows totaling USD 224 million last week.
While #xrp led the market, the downward $ETH (+0.2%) the downward trend continued with further outflows, and sentiment towards digital asset $BTC (+0.02%) remained mixed - with moderate inflows coupled with continued interest in short Bitcoin products.
Also $SOL (+0.38%) registered inflows, reflecting continued stable investor demand.
Tron: The silent giant of stablecoin settlement
$TRX (+0%) is rarely at the center of crypto headlines, but network activity tells a different story. The $BBLC now hosts over 85 billion US dollars in USDT and processed a USDT transfer volume of 7.9 trillion US dollars in 2025 alone. By most measures, this makes Tron the dominant settlement layer for the world's largest stablecoin.
The reason is simple: Tron offers near-zero transaction fees and high processing speeds, making the network the preferred infrastructure for large-scale stablecoin transfers. Each individual transaction costs only a fraction of a cent. But the network processes over 4.5 million USDT transfers every day - and each one requires Tron to be burned for network resources. At this volume, even the smallest fees add up to significant token demand. This mechanism has propelled Tron to the top of the #blockchain-revenue rankings: the network generates around USD 26 million per month, putting it ahead of $ETH (+0.2%), $SOL (+0.38%) and $BASE.
Tron processes 65% of all USDT transfers in the retail sector worldwide, with particular strength in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. There, the network serves as a central infrastructure for remittances and peer-to-peer payments.
$TRX (+0%) is a component of both the CoinShares Physical Top 10 Crypto Market ETP and the CoinShares Physical Smart Contract Platform ETP.
