OMG. Apparently every time you move a BTC off Coinbase to your wallet, that counts as a sell event.
God Fucking Damnit !

Just move to Amsterdam. No taxes on gains whatsoever, only 1.2% on the value of what you own at the end of the year. Buy me a beer when you do Bob.
What does immigration to the Netherlands look like and how easy is it to declare your net worth?
I am serious. However immigrating is not that easy, even though Holland is very welcoming. Most importantly, the country you move from will generally want to settle all outstanding stuff including e.g. pensions in one full swoop. How that would work out you would have to check locally.
As I understand, in Belgium you actually pay exactly 0%. Plus it has better food and wine.
However Holland is slightly more internationally orientated and better organised. Whether you like the culture more is a question of taste. The Belgians are more polite, the Dutch are more straight forward and open minded.
Edit: sorry, to answer your question, or rather not answer it, I don't know how the procedure works. Of course, bringing a lot of money with you makes things easier. Declaring your net worth seems a question of just doing so I presume.
Edit2: looks easy: https://www.wikihow.com/Move-to-the-Netherlands
I've looked into it a bit too now, and it seems like getting into the Netherlands would be as simple as walking right in for me, unlike Canada. Seriously considering it, even if just for a short to mid term kind of stay. Anything is better than having to twist and bend to comply with tax laws without paying a ridiculous ~40% on gains for now.
Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention by the way.
I didn't really like it there enough to stay for a prolonged amount of time though... Way too hot.
All people seem to do in Thailand is sweat.
Do go about now, however, it's quite nice.
