How? Alternative Minimum Tax. If you’re wealthy, meaning earn more than $86,100 dollars a year, AMT guarantees you will pay a minimum of 26% of all income over $86,100. If you make over roughly $250,000, you pay 28% on that income. And if you make over roughly $600,000, you get 28% tax on the originally exempt $86,100 and pay that extra 2% on income between $250k & $600k.

When bitcoin shoots up 100x in price over the next 30 years, that’ll be roughly $100T they’ll tax at 28%. Problem solved.
