They’ve run out of road.
For decades, developed nations have played the same quiet game: Debase the currency by 2% per year, expand cheap credit, inflate asset prices, and kick the can further down the road.
But now the numbers are no longer hiding.
The United States national debt is approaching $39 trillion.
We’re adding roughly $1 billion in debt every few hours.
This isn’t linear anymore.
This is exponential.
And when debt approaches the “knee” of the curve, it turns predatory.
Governments stop pretending.
They start hunting for new revenue streams.
And that resource is no longer corporations.
It’s you.
🇳🇱 The Netherlands Just Showed the Blueprint
This week, the Netherlands moved forward with a proposal to tax unrealized gains — at a rate of 36%.
Let that sink in.
You don’t sell. You don’t cash out. You don’t realize profit.
But if your assets appreciate on paper, you owe tax anyway.
Example:
If
$BTC moves from $70,000 to $100,000:
That’s a $30,000 paper gain.
At 36%, you owe over $10,000 — even if you never sold a single sat.
So what happens?
You’re forced to liquidate part of your position just to pay tax on gains you never realized.
And if the market crashes before the payment date?
Too bad.
The tax is calculated from the higher valuation.
A real gain can become a real loss.
This policy is scheduled to begin in 2028.
It passed with Dutch politicians openly admitting:
“We don’t like it either, but we have to.”
That sentence tells you everything.
🌍 The Next Step: A Global Asset Registry
It doesn’t stop there.
Erica Payne and the “Patriotic Millionaires” recently told the IMF the next phase is needed:
A Global Asset Registry.
They want to “map the money.” They want to define “what is enough.”
But when governments are $40 trillion in the hole, “enough” simply means whatever you have.
The goal isn’t just revenue.
It’s control.
A digital financial panopticon where capital cannot escape.
🎭 The Real Purpose of Modern Taxation
Your taxes haven’t meaningfully reduced deficits in years.
They fund expansion. They service interest. They sustain the debt spiral.
Now we’re seeing the quiet shift:
From taxation for budgeting
To taxation for behavioral control.
Preventing citizens from accumulating enough economic power to question the system.
Limiting economic velocity.
Capping financial sovereignty.
🟠 The Escape Valve: Bitcoin
Thankfully, we live in a different era.
For the first time in history, the most liquid global capital asset is also:
BorderlessMobileCensorship-resistantPermissionless
That asset is Bitcoin.
While fiat systems tighten control, Bitcoin offers exit.
Not rebellion. Not chaos.
Just optionality.
And in a world approaching exponential debt math, optionality is priceless.
The fiat experiment is entering its late stage.
The question is simple:
Will you stay inside the burning house?
Or will you own the keys to the exit?
