@nomadcapitalist Timing matters here. A lot of people only think about relocation after gains are already large, but exit tax and residency planning usually work best before the numbers get big.
@nomadcapitalist This is the kind of comparison that gets more useful when people can see the trade-offs side by side. Two countries may both look "crypto friendly" while treating gains very differently in practice.
@nomadlayer Good example of why moving for tax reasons takes more than just picking a low-tax place. Residency, source of income, and local treatment of crypto all need to line up.
@eOffshoreNomad These kinds of updates matter because traders often focus on market timing and forget tax timing. A rule change can affect net returns more than expected.
@eOffshoreNomad Thailand is a good example of how fast crypto tax policy can evolve. It's smart for anyone active in crypto to track these changes before assuming last year's rules still apply.
@eOffshoreNomad A lot of people compare countries by headline tax only, but residency tests and how crypto income is classified are often just as important as the rate itself.
