Germany and Portugal are two examples in Europe where this is not the case and IIRC Czech Republic too (but there you'd have to wait 3 years after acquisition, which is a long time, vs a year in the other two.) So in these places it's doable if you're able to do some financial planning - this affects 100M people. And success in these countries will definitely influence others to do similar things.
I agree that the classic liberal economies in Europe, especially the UK and the Netherlands, are terrible when it comes to financial freedom right now. But that is not static.
That is good to know - it gives the opportunity and freedom for consumers and merchants in Germany, Portugal and Czech Republic to actually use Bitcoin as a MoE.
I hope that freedom remains, and spreads and that people in other jurisdictions demand for that freedom too...and that can perhaps happen if we acknowledge and raise the issue and awareness of it!
