It’s infuriating. I just paid a significant chunk of money in taxes on interest earned while my funds sat in a bank account, waiting to buy a house after being pulled from Bitcoin. Picture this: they inflate the currency, devaluing our money, and then tax us on the meager interest we "earn" which is often less than the rate of inflation itself. On top of that, banks profit far more than account holders by leveraging our deposits, often at ratios of 20:1 or higher, all for doing little more than entering numbers into a spreadsheet.
I’m sick to death of this fiat-driven, bureaucratic, nonsensical clown world. I work full-time for scraps of fiat currency, only to be taxed on top of taxes on top of taxes. If I’m lucky, I keep 30% of what I’ve earned. That’s like saying I spent 70% of my year working for the government. For what? Roads? I wouldn’t need to drive on so many roads if I wasn’t constantly hustling to pay the government’s endless demands in the first place.
