Why a conversation about taxation with a bitcoiner always end with the fiat defender sayin

"you dont' understand"

"thats how 99.9999% do it"

"the goverment is watching you"

Because the fiat defender is engaging in cognitive dissonance while relying on appeals to authority and fear rather than logic.

1. Cognitive Dissonance – Most people have internalized the idea that taxation is an unquestionable duty and that government-backed fiat is the only legitimate financial system. When confronted with Bitcoiners who challenge these assumptions with first-principles thinking, they feel uneasy. Instead of engaging with the argument, they dismiss it by saying, "You don't understand." This protects their worldview.

2. Appeal to the Majority ("99.9999% do it") – This is a logical fallacy. Just because the majority follows a system does not mean it is just, efficient, or even sustainable. This is the classic "might makes right" argument, used to avoid addressing whether the system is fair or broken.

3. Fear Tactics ("The government is watching you") – This is an attempt to intimidate rather than debate. It's an implicit admission that the system is coercive and that questioning it is dangerous. Instead of arguing that taxation in a fiat system is fair, they rely on the threat of enforcement.

In essence, Bitcoiners operate on the idea that money should be voluntary and not subject to coercion. The fiat defender, however, often lacks the framework to challenge this idea without falling back on tradition, authority, or fear.
