I don't think you understood my post or the importance of using bitcoin as money.

If you don't, bitcoin will only serve you to buy four silly things on the internet.

Try buying a house or a car with bitcoin.

You must understand what capital gains means.

Bitcoin must be money if we want to earn, otherwise it only serves to further enrich the state.

If NGU it will be used as money. The biggest threat the states/corporations bring is the ability to fractional reserve bank bitcoin which will keep the price suppressed.

Bitcoin is an asset. It is hoarded for its future value, like an asset. It is taxed on capital gains, like an asset. It is borrowed against, like an asset.

Each transaction in Bitcoin requires reporting to the tax authorities. How many transactions an person or business makes per day? How many per year? Each one is a single line on a tax filling.

Bitcoin can't be money as long as it is vue as an asset by its users and governments. It can't be money as long as each transaction is a capital gain tax event.
