I totally understand the appeal of moving to more crypto-friendly countries. It sounds like you’ve found a solid strategy that works for your situation, especially with their tax benefits. I fear that having a family, and already having lost most of my crypto, moving might not be the easiest solution for me.

That said, I think Portugal is still somewhat of a question mark, being part of the EU. Regulations there might change in the future as the EU updates its stance on crypto. It’ll be interesting to see how that develops.

I share your frustration with how crypto investors have been treated, especially when the regulations are still so unclear. It really does feel like we’re being punished for engaging with a system that hasn’t been properly defined by regulators yet.

I also think it's important to have clear, fair regulations that protect people and allow us to navigate the system without fear of devastating tax consequences, no matter the country we live in. Hopefully, with enough advocacy, we’ll see better policies put in place to support investors rather than penalize them. Thanks for your well wishes!
