With the new DAC8 directive coming into effect on January 1, 2026, all exchanges with European customers will be required to report all their transactions to local tax authorities.

Remember that there are P2P exchanges without KYC, such as Bisq and Robosats. In my case, I have been using Robosats for years and have had zero problems.

If you don't do anything to defend yourself, don't complain later; you're just a coward.

I thought that was already happening

The fact that the nostr:nprofile1qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnnv968xarjv9kxjcfwvdhk6tcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6tcqypp4ydudlkw92thuqvsrasxw9zr992ls79fen2cxs9fpdt5r42vussnu67e account has only 1,000 followers shows that there are really very few true bitcoiners and that most are pro-system Coretards.

Here you still don't seem to realize that Bitcoin is just a tool; Bitcoin alone doesn't solve anything.

The solution lies in black markets, peer-to-peer markets without government intervention, such as Robosats, Bisq, Mostro, Shopstr, etc.

I've been using Bisq for years and I think the market grew over the past months.

Like nostr:npub1l59ulrx34m5rle67ds8al32rs309hsl4p5nd9409cmfl55slnrqq8jq78u wrote in his recent article, it's extremely uncomfortable to exit the system you were born into. They cannot see beyond the fiat horizon.

I’ll add to that nostr:npub15369wu3wzzar5fclhecyqfv683x69n6nhlg7rxqnsg2dydgxflpq3apswl

😎💪👌

yep, respect. p2p is the only real exit ramp in clown world rn. bisq/robosats + monero, rinse repeat. the second you touch centralized scammers you voluntarily enter the dragnet.

wanna flex them nocoiners i'm always happy to hop on a private DM via NIP-17, no phone, no email , just keys, meme gifs, and low-key maxi talk.

Yep, but that's nothing new, at least in Germany. Exchanges have been sending data on request to the authorities for years!

Yes, it is new... because until now it was only exchanges based in Europe... now it's all of them worldwide...

I fucking hate EU and their draconian laws... Will they be obliged to send old txs from before 1st of Jan 2026 or only going forward?

As far as I know, only those carried out from January 1, 2026 onwards.

DAC8 is to my knowledge something that is going to be effective starting 2026. But from 2025 there was this Travel Rule, whereby information was also shared

I honestly don’t have a good understanding of all the details of all laws that are being passed, but the bottom line remains: Bisq and Robosats are more important than ever

PS. Have you ever used halcash as a method of payment? Pros/cons?

For example, Binance had offices in Europe, so it was obliged to comply, while Bitfinex did not have offices in Europe, so it was not obliged to comply and did not do so.

Now, in January 2026, Bitfinex must comply or it will not be able to offer services to Europeans.

A clarification note on this.

Until now, only exchanges based in Europe, such as Binance, were required to comply. Bitfinex, for example, did not have offices in Europe, so it was not required to comply and did not do so.

Now, in January 2026, Bitfinex must comply or it will not be able to offer services to Europeans.

We Europeans live in a communist dictatorship.

So, whichever exchange you use, no matter where in the world, if it is regulated, Mother Europe will know what you are doing.

On this subject, has anyone heard of Peach? (https://peachbitcoin.com/index.html)

¿No tienes problemas con los bancos al hacer en Robosat múltiples transferencias internacionales sepa instant de euros?

Nops, además tienes todos los bancos y neobancos de la Unión Europea disponibles 😂 , pero nunca he tenido problemas porque no saben que estas comprando o vendiendo, en cambio si he tenido un montón de problemas con las transferencias a exchange kyc

Algunos bancos y neobancos como Wise congelan la transferencia hasta 24h para "realizar comprobaciones de seguridad ", lo que mata el proceso de compra. Los bancos tradicionales vigilan mucho el "pitufeo", múltiples transferencias de poco importe y las bloquean cuando les parece oportuno. He tenido ambos problemas.

La gran pregunta para mí es cuánto volumen se puede mover de entrada/salida, por banco individual y en total, antes de que Hacienda venga a investigar.

Personalmente he visto gente descargando hasta 25.000€ en un año a través de varios bancos y muchas transfes y no han recibido notificaciones de Hacienda.

I can't wrap my head around it. You send money from a traditional bank account to a robosats/bisq escrow account and receive Non-KYC Bitcoin in return? Seems like a contradiction. What am I missing?

I don't understand what you're saying.

P2P exchanges like Bisq are not going to comply with DAC8; that's why we have to use them.
