Thank you. I understand. The thing is, it was just a test to see if and how to reactivate those Bitcoins. The thing is, there is a date printed on the paper wallet (not sure if that will really count). And we in Germany have to pay no taxes if we hold the BTC longer than 1 year. Thats the reason why I asked if I can use the old wallet. Because the coins were stored in March 2014.
This is a interesting way to tax Bitcoin... any reason why they taxed it like that? In most countries Capital gain TAX only come into affect, when you sell the coins. They
do not take the period into account for that calculation, only when you profit from that purchase. They will never receive any income tax from Bitcoin, if they do it that
way, because everyone will just hoard for a year.
