    Arno Wellens: Why The Netherlands Wants 36% of Your Future Gains

    The Netherlands just approved a 36% tax on unrealized gains, and your country could be next. If your Bitcoin goes up, you owe the government. Even if you never sold. The threshold? Just €60,000 in savings. Arno Wellens, one of Europe's leading voices on monetary policy and fiscal overreach, breaks down exactly what's happening — and why this won't stop at the Dutch border. "Hundreds of years ago, empires fell because of taxes. Now it's 80% and nobody protests." 🔑 IN THIS EPISODE: - How a 36% unrealized gains tax actually works and why it creates a liquidity nightmare - "Your marginal income tax rate in the Netherlands is 80%" - Why the smartest and most productive people are fleeing Europe - The vicious cycle: money printing → asset bubbles → wealth taxes → more money printing - Why Belgium and France are preparing similar legislation - How CBDCs, negative interest rates, and banning stablecoins are all part of the same trap - "If you're a construction worker who saves €500 a month, by 30 you're considered wealthy" - Why Trump's strategy could trigger the exact same playbook globally 🎥This episode was recorded on the 23th of January. 📊 TIMESTAMPS 0:00 – Intro 0:51 – Guest introduction 3:10 – Arno’s background and journey into markets 7:05 – Early investing mistakes and lessons learned 12:40 – How Arno analyzes macro trends today 18:30 – Bitcoin’s role in the global financial system 25:15 – Liquidity cycles and market timing 32:40 – Ethereum and the future of crypto adoption 40:05 – Managing risk in volatile markets 48:10 – Psychology of investing during downturns 55:20 – What most retail investors get wrong 1:02:30 – Where Arno sees the next big opportunities 1:08:40 – Final thoughts & advice for long-term investors 🔗 FOLLOW ARNO WELLENS: X: https://x.com/ArnoWellens Website: https://arnowellens.nl Books: Het Euro Evangelie & Democratie op de Helling 🎙️ LISTEN ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4m1NATQndU8yUUe1aRkOTn Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/new-era-finance/id1781211657 📈 OKX PARTNER: Sign up at https://www.okx.com/nl/campaigns/cryptomichnl Create your OKX account via my link to receive up to €100 in Bitcoin and start earning with your OKX card.Get up to 20% in cashback before February the 28th! 💼 MN FUND:+34.49% return against Bitcoin in 2025 | Digital asset investment fund https://www.mnfund.nl/ 📲 CONNECT WITH MICHAËL: X: https://x.com/CryptoMichNL YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@michaelvdpoppe

You would be feeling incredible." 🔑 IN THIS EPISODE: - Why most people view Bitcoin wrong — and the 3 frames that change everything (technology, asset, protocol) - "The natural state of the free market is deflation. Staggering deflation." - Why Bitcoin's 40-45% IRR is the risk-free rate of the world - How Jeff built a better CRM than Salesforce in a weekend with AI — and why SaaS will implode - "A stablecoin is a lie.
