But why'd a government want to disincentivize investing? It's mind blowing how such a bill was deliberated and passed by actual humans.
Like you mentioned, it'd be interesting to see how capital losses work.

I think you then incentivise spending into the economy which makes citizens poorer(always a plus for the state) but consumption doesn’t stimulate as growth as that requires capital investment which would diminish over time. Not sure who wins here. I’m at the edge of my bitcoiner/self taught economic musings 🤷🏿♂️.
Let's say you have a capital loss in 2029. You can compensate in 2030. So capital loss in 2029 is for example € 60 000. You pay zero tax in 2029 ( no tax return on loss). Capital gain in 2030 is € 80 000. Taxable amount in 2030 will be € 20 000 (=€80 000 - €60 000). So payable tax 2030 is 36% of € 20 000. So losses can be compensated in future years, but not backwards.
