What is not priced in for Bitcoin?
Europe's Systematic Wealth Destruction - Financial Repression
Europe’s policy trajectory, shaped by fiscal pressures
Dream of green transition
Demographic headwinds
Strong preference for centralized solutions (NPC)
Europeans work less (Most Europeans don’t even want money)
→ Persistent financial repression. Europe is slowly becoming one big “machine” built on systematically eroding private wealth and crushing long-term prosperity.
The majority don’t seem bothered. Would they be bothered if the ECB targeted 2-4% Inflation instead of 0-2%?
Is Eastern Europe the last hope? Eastern Europe’s stance on financial freedom could help prevent the continent from sliding further into madness. Here in Finland, we had our independence “celebration” on 6.12, and it was so farcical. Everything here seems infused with nonsense or stupidity. The good news is that, in the end, stupidity always collapses under the weight of its own foolish choices.
More taxes
Nothing works from healthcare to education.
More bureaucrats
No incentives to work more
No incentives to be an entrepreneur
No incentive to save money

I’ve spent the past five years mentally prepping for the day I might have to bail out of Finland. I already know how it’s going to go down - I just need that final kick in the ass, like a nasty exit tax or something else, to actually make me move. (Many European countries are starting to talk about this already.)
Bitcoin is more than just an asset for me - it’s hope, the best savings tool on the planet. I continue to save in it indefinitely, and the financial repression is not priced in.
The situation isn't just deteriorating - it's accelerating toward an absurd finale where the suits and their army of NPCs will keep championing the very system that's digitally waterboarding them. While they're busy writing reports about "sustainable governance" and "inclusive financial frameworks" their purchasing power is being eaten alive by the monster they helped create. The bureaucrats will keep adding layers of complexity, committees, regulations, and debt until the whole machine chokes.
Those same suits who missed every major economic shift of the last decade will keep appearing on Finnish media to explain why "this time is different" and why Bitcoin is still in a bubble at 100k, 200k, or even 500k. They'll rationalize every new capital control as "necessary safeguards" and celebrate each new tax as "social responsibility." Meanwhile, Eastern Europe watches from the sidelines, probably wondering if they dodged a bullet by not fully embracing the Western European model of systematic wealth destruction.
When these bureaucrats realize their system is collapsing, the smart money will have already fled - first the capital, then the people. Their exit taxes and capital controls will accelerate the exodus. That's the beauty of it - the harder they squeeze, the faster their control slips away. Every new restriction validates Bitcoin's thesis and speeds up their own extinction.
Welcome to the endgame of financial repression - where the only winning move is not to play their game at all.
