do you think it is possible that the government could approach public miners and demand that a small % of mined coins be sent to government addresses? they would be nationalizing miners and getting BTC lower than market rate. too crazy?

they would be getting small amounts of coin but could be a consistent stream of BTC and they could scale the % tax over time

this could also be considered a way of “budget neutral acquisition” as opposed to taxing miners and then using the tax proceeds to buy bitcoin
