That's arbitrary and would still cause issues. You'd cause a mass liquidation event and discourage investing or create a bunch of winners in the tax accounting industry. Unrealized capital gains tax is very unserious and IMO just populist drivel.

What if the tax could be paid with assets instead of currency? And the assets went into some kind of sovereign wealth fund?
