For someone in Canada who has a single source of employment income, does living on a Bitcoin standard mean also simply stopping filing annual income tax returns? I’m not sure how else a worker in Canada makes the majority of their day to day purchases using Bitcoin without triggering a million taxable events (due to Canada’s 10% capital gains tax on BTC holdings) and creating a nearly impossible bookkeeping task, figuring out the price basis, margin and capital gains tax owing on every single Sat they spend. I can understand this being viable for an individual operating as a proprietor, with enough customers that are Bitcoiners to be able to just accept Lightning payments for services and goods in trade, but I just don’t understand how an employee would make such a shift when:
A) your employer isn’t BTC literate enough to acquire non KYC Bitcoin in the first place
B) your employer isn’t willing to accept the tax liability risk of having you essentially work under the table, and avoid collecting and remitting payroll taxes on your behalf
C) the stack you have amassed so far that you could potentially use to start buying goods or gift cards is largely KYC Sats,
without creating a tax liability or a monumental filing challenge or getting fined or charged. While a nice thought, isn’t this video massively oversimplifying the answer to leveraging the soundness of BTC vs fiat for day to day living?
