Until I live in a country that has no capital gains tax on Bitcoin sales... nothing.

It's sad and frustrating. But this is a reality I need to deal with.

I very much want Bitcoin to succeed, to become widely accepted money, to separate money and state.

But as long as there is a tax, if I buy anything for Bitcoin, I have two options.

One, evade the tax. But I'm at risk they will find me. And even if I'm careful and buy non-kyc and conjoin and so on, there is a risk. And I don't want to have to worry.

Option two, calculate and pay the taxes. Accounting nightmare, waste of time, loss of money.

So, for now, I buy nothing with Bitcoin.

I save in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is my hope for financial safety when I'm old.

Ideally, I will be rich, or, at least, I hope, the value, the purchasing power, of my savings, will be protected.

And for day to day stuff I buy, as much as I hate the fact I'm tracked and I could be censored and my money could be confiscated and so on, Mastercard and revolut work ok for me, as a payment network. Transactions are generally instant and free.

So, for payment rails, my needs are met by Visa or Mastercard.

For long term savings, I use Bitcoin and I don't sell it, that is, also, I don't buy anything with it.

Maybe except zaps :-)

Does my approach make sense?

Do you think I should start trying to buy things for Bitcoin, just to encourage merchants to adopt and so on, and sacrifice my time or money to deal with taxes?
