4. If Germany's crypto tax is lax, I expect this will be copied in some other European countries in the not-so-far future, hence it may not be a bad idea to have a bit more patience and keep the eyes open.
I would find the statement more credible if you had used "I hope" instead of "I expect", which implies a more vain hope. Germany has had a more favorable legislation to cryptocurrencies for many years, and there has not been the copying effect you are talking about, so I do not expect it to happen, except in some specific case perhaps and for other reasons, not for copying what Germany does. In the same way, Germany is called the European locomotive because it has an economic policy different from the rest, which encourages productivity and mass competition, and France with its elephantine state or Italy with its peculiarities do not copy it.
Not credible and "vain hope"? LOL! You come more than a year later saying that?! A lot changes in a year (do I really have to say that?!)
Back then I did expect that. Meanwhile the things somehow got.. slower, which is a surprise for me.
And, if you read, I wrote "some" countries. A possible short could contain Poland, Croatia, Romania, countries that imho look up to Germany. Especially France is expected to take its own decision (which may or may not be identical to Germany's), hence you deliberately picked at least one poor example.
However, since then there were news that made me lower my expectations by a great deal, hence now I'm indeed at the "I hope" stage.
And yeah, believe what you want.
