Let's remember the "Assume good faith" guideline and also remember that not everyone here is having a US-centric view on how things are. Seemingly you read about half of my comment but not the rest, as I never "confidently declare[d] that as fact".

I can’t think of a single country in the EU either in which you can trade any asset for another without a capital gains assessment.
