Yes, that is part of “regulation” and control versus letting prices fall to society. Robots will be taxed too.

We should ask, why is oxygen not taxed?

All ideas to keep society on a treadmill of ever higher prices and expanding government so that same government and big corporations benefiting from the theft of the productivity gains can pretend to solve them. (And many people will fall for it).

The good news is that the parallel system built on #Bitcoin doesn’t care. It just prices the real market and gets stronger while the other one gets weaker and more chaotic.
