🇰🇷 Bitcoin in South Korea: Where the Government is More 'Based' than Libertarians 🇰🇷

"Koreans buy BTC like the latest K-Pop trend – only instead of dancing, they make profits that make BTS look like amateurs."

🔥 Fresh News: The Government in Hodl Mode

In 2025, the Bank of Korea bought $2.3 billion in $BTC as a strategic reserve – a sign that 'digital gold' is safer than the volatile won. Moreover, 20% of young adults own BTC, turning the country into a 'continuous' retail miner.

⚡ Why is Korea Changing the Game?

- Zero Kimchi Premium: For the first time in 7 years, the price of BTC in Korea is NOT higher than globally. Why? Anti-speculation rules + massive adoption.

- Local ETFs: Samsung Bitcoin ETF attracted $1.2 billion in 3 months – retirees prefer BTC over pension bonds.

☠️ Hidden Risk: The Two-Faced Regulator

- Tough Crypto Law: 30% tax on profits (down from 50% in 2024).

- Lending Ban: You can't lend BTC on local exchanges. 'HODL or run!' is the national mantra.

🇰🇷 The Kimchi Joke:

"What does a Korean trader say when BTC drops?"

"At least now I can buy at the global price… and kimchi is always expensive!"

⚠️ When a country with 51M residents buys BTC, listen. When they do it with kimchi, invest immediately.
