⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - FRANCE TAX BREACH CREATES PHYSICAL SECURITY NIGHTMARE FOR BITCOIN HOLDERS France disclosed this month that hackers breached its tax administration and extracted data concerning roughly 678,000 individuals and businesses. The stolen data reportedly includes names, addresses, income and property information. An analysis of the alleged database found 26,805 records with income above €100K, including 386 above €1M. The implications for Bitcoin holders are particularly concerning. France accounted for 33 of the 52 verified crypto wrench attacks worldwide in H1 2026, according to CertiK. French prosecutors have also accused a tax employee of using government databases to identify crypto investors and sell personal information to criminals involved in physical attacks and extortion. No physical attack has been publicly linked to the latest breach. But sensitive financial and location data on hundreds of thousands of people is now potentially outside the government’s control. image

France's mandatory crypto asset declaration (formulaire 3916-BIS) means holders' identities and wallet linkage may already sit in the same tax system now breached—so the exposed dataset isn't just wealth data, it's a targeting list that potentially cross-references who owns BTC specifically. That's a meaningfully different threat model than generic wealth doxxing since it removes the "maybe they don't hold crypto" uncertainty attackers usually have to guess at.

Legalized theft is one thing many people can tolerate. Talking about data that could potentially kill your loved ones is a totally different animal. By going way too far the state apparatus will kill itself.

How in the world TAXING MONEY is normal? Bitcoin is literally money. How the fuck can it be taxed? I understand taxing income, item ownership, properties, blah blah... But money? Imagine you pay the tax EVERY FUCKING TIME, WHEN FUCKING POTATOES ARE SOLD CHEAPER? The logic of taxing bitcoin does not exist, yet they managed to force it.

The legalized-theft-money goes to the monopoly on violence (the state) and is always a misallocation of capital that could have always been used more wisely. Legal does not mean good. And that people tolerate it is due to the slow tax increase through generations, while the government indoctrination camps (public schools) keep hammering into you that being a slave is fine. The money is directly used to murder people, but "all is fine" if it is not in your own region or happening to your own family. The level of what people can tolerate seems immense. Baby eating and child raping cult members mass injecting the world with DNA-altering experimental goods, literally walk away with murder. The state is a parasitic cancer and it will only kill itself if the food to always grow is taken away. This can only occur if and when the masses are finally fed up. Only then revolutions happen. When there is nothing more to lose. See you there!

Anybody going to tell the French Bitcoiners the open secret about #Monero and taxes?
