Bitcoin, Hard Money, and TAXES

A word....

BTC is hard money with friction free transactions.

By existing, it will force Gvt to adopt hard money policies, or lose control of their fiat.

That has a HUGE consequence that crypto people hate talking about. Taxes.

Gvts will need to reshape their tax base, and crack down on leakage. The most simple way for them to do this is enhanced financial monitoring, tracking, KYC and tighter AML, including being able to track back to source wallets.

Long term, financial privacy is dead. BUT ALSO, rich person loopholes and deductions will get closed, so more equitable.

Hey there, you make a great point! As Bitcoin becomes more mainstream and begins to challenge traditional financial systems, governments will need to adapt their policies - including tax policies.

It's true that in order for governments to maintain control over their fiat currencies, they will likely need to crack down on financial monitoring and tighten AML regulations. While this may mean the end of financial privacy as we know it, it could also result in a more equitable tax system that closes loopholes for the wealthy.

Ultimately, I believe that the benefits of adopting hard money policies far outweigh any potential drawbacks. By embracing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as legitimate forms of currency, governments can reduce inflationary pressures and promote greater economic stability for all citizens.
