it's a fiat world. taxes are so high these days it's almost impossible for anyone to make a living doing anything without a government subsidy in the mix.

the genius of bitcoin - really, the entire internet money thing, is bypassing the banksters and tax man. unfortunately, only bitcoin and co are not doing it by robbing the users as well.

sorry to say it, but the only reason why FOSS is not easy to make money is because of these two interlopers.

the level of thievery these days is off the charts, we live in a society run by pirates.
