The crypto community in Germany is worried after recent political developments suggest the end of one of the most favorable tax advantages for Bitcoin holders. According to reports from Berlin, the SPD (Social Democratic Party) is expected to head the finance ministry in the upcoming government—bringing with it significant changes to how crypto is taxed. Germany currently offers one of the most attractive crypto tax setups in the world. If you hold Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency for more than one year, any profits made from selling are completely tax-free. But that might be about to change. Sources say the SPD is planning to eliminate the one-year tax-free rule. Under the new plan, crypto gains could become permanently taxable—regardless of how long you hold your coins. The proposal suggests a flat 25% tax rate, aligning crypto profits with Germany’s existing capital gains tax known as “Abgeltungssteuer.” The move has sparked intense backlash from both retail investors and tax consultants, with many saying it will stifle innovation and make Germany less attractive for crypto users and builders. Some fear this could drive investors to other European countries with more favorable tax laws, like Portugal or Switzerland. Others, however, say the change brings crypto into the same legal framework as traditional finance—something that might be necessary for mainstream adoption. If this tax reform goes through, HODLing Bitcoin in Germany will no longer be a safe tax-free strategy. This could lead to short-term volatility in the market, as investors adjust their strategies. On the flip side, it may push more users to embrace regulated, tax-efficient crypto products or even explore offshore solutions.

Goldman Sachs has reversed its recession forecast after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on most of the administration’s new tariffs, calming markets rattled by trade war fears. Earlier Wednesday, Goldman analysts shifted to a recession baseline following the rollout of new country-specific tariffs. But after Trump’s announcement, the firm updated its outlook to a “non-recession baseline,” projecting modest GDP growth of 0.5% by Q4 2025 and three expected Fed rate cuts starting in June, according to CNBC reporting . Markets responded quickly. Bitcoin surged past $82,000, and the Nasdaq approached a 10% gain, recovering from its worst multi-day performance since the 2008 financial crisis. The 10-year Treasury yield eased from 4.5% to 4.4%. Goldman Sachs’ research department publishing these two headlines 73 minutes apart lmao pic.twitter.com/45TJplzU9I Trump, posting on Truth Social, said multiple countries had initiated talks over trade and currency, prompting the tariff pause and a temporary reduction of the reciprocal tariff rate to 10%. However, tariffs on Chinese imports were raised to 125%, effective immediately. Goldman now estimates a 45% chance of recession and expects core inflation to peak at 3.5%, according to its latest client note. The surprise move came after f our days of intense market volatility and mounting fears of a global recession. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will now lead upcoming trade negotiations, a shift Wall Street views positively due to his moderate stance.

Donald Trump stated on his social media that the United States will immediately raise tariffs on China to 125%, while granting a 90-day suspension period for over 75 countries, during which a reduced reciprocal tariff of 10% will apply.

What will happen to Crypto if Twitter disappears tomorrow? Writing: Ayca What would happen if Twitter disappeared overnight? In an instant, 80% of encryption projects will also disappear, completely falling into silence. Are you ready to face this reality? We don't want to admit to being addicted to Twitter I have been thinking about this issue recently. Encryption projects have become heavily reliant on Twitter. We publish messages there, establish communities there, and all channels start from there. But relying on a single platform is like putting all your eggs in the basket of an emotionally unstable billionaire. To be honest, we are really lazy. Twitter's rapid hypnosis makes us feel very comfortable. We posted a few tweets, interacted with the same group of cryptocurrency brothers, and then it ended. But like any harmful relationship, this dependency is slowly killing your project. True cryptocurrency users are not just on Twitter. They are everywhere: Discord, Reddit, Tiktok, Telegram, and platforms that you are too accustomed to exploring. The echo chamber of CT creates a false sense of security, making you believe that your influence is broader than it actually is. Understand the real user journey Think about it, how do we make even the simplest purchasing decisions? We will ask trusted people or check social media. Now imagine: someone wakes up and remembers their friend mentioning your project. congratulations! You have just embarked on the holy grail of marketing: word-of-mouth communication. But what will happen next? They will search on Google, check your website (which they may not even understand), and look for reviews and news about you (yes, PR is important). They will dig deep into your social channels to see what people are saying; They may even check your LinkedIn page. Only after experiencing all of this will they decide whether to purchase or participate in your project. Do you see where the problem lies? This process involves multiple platforms, but you have always relied solely on Twitter. You have been limiting your 'social circle'. Your encryption project needs a better platform than Twitter I have a challenge for you: to halve the frequency of your project's posts on Twitter in the next 30 days. Use the saved time to build on two other platforms that you have never tried before. (That's right, LinkedIn is also included) Try it out and track the effect. If there is no change, then go back to Twitter and pretend that it never happene What will you lose if you accept this challenge? It's just the pitiful interactive data on a few unread tweets. What will you get? A true brand that does not rely on a single platform, new users, and most importantly, a successful case that you can boast about for a whole year. Leaving Twitter may make you feel uncomfortable for a while. But believe me, the new relationships established with other platforms in the future are definitely worth it. Your marketing strategy may be rendered meaningless due to a change in Twitter's algorithm If Twitter disappears tomorrow, can your project still survive? tell the truth. Don't wait until you suffer a big loss to understand this truth. Relying on a single platform is like putting all your encrypted assets in one wallet. This is reckless and unnecessary. Diversification is not only a recommendation for cryptocurrency investment portfolios, but also essential for cryptocurrency marketing. However, we still keep putting all our eggs in the basket of Twitter, and then show extreme shock when the eggs break. It's time to say these words: "Twitter, we need to talk about expanding into other platforms Your future users are waiting for you, just not in the place you've been looking for.
