The later. You can already avoid any taxes related to bitcoins. Just exchange it to physical cash with small exchangers or other people and avoid kyc procedures.

Easy-to-get wealth is also easy to lose.

So if you happened to buy 1000 bitcoins when it was under a dollar, you most likely would have them now, but sold at 10 bucks or something.

Bitcoin is not a way to become rich. It is a way to preserve hard earned money so you can spend it later, for example when you become old. It is not government's duty to feed you when you are old. So everything is fine, just stack sats.

Wait, you mean even 100 million dollars is not enough for retirement?

By homesteading principle - one has private property rights to anything they homestead. The body is the first thing a person homesteads. Then comes products of their own labor. The notion of private property includes the right to exchange your property with others. Of rent it to others on some terms. And here we already have a moral case for prostitution - one exchanges some goods for "renting" somebody else's body for sex. That is prostitution based on the first principles!

I argue from the first principles. If there is a good argument in the paper, please bring it here. It is not a victimless crime, it is not a crime at all! Give me a distinction between prostitution and any other work. Otherwise I can find many articles about bad labor conditions of somebody and declare all paid labor immoral.

Pimps do aggress agains prostitutes. But it is an off-topic! We consider a case against production, not pimps.

As a side note, let's consider the case, when you go to a prostitute, who is not independent, but works under a pimp. I'll prove you that it is not a bigger thing than going for groceries. Her business is under a racket by the pimp. But any good business can be racketed by criminals. For example, the state is the biggest racketeer. It forces the businesman to accept the fiat currency in exchange of goods and services. Do you commit a bad thing, when you go to grocery store and pay with fiat currency? It is a forced, racketeered enterprise, he would not accept a piece of paper in exchange for goods, if not his pimp (the state).

Who is the aggressor then?

It is a win-win, because both parties participated having an opportunity not to participate and no threat of violence or any threat what so ever was involved.

Well, prostitution is an arrangement between consenting individuals. No aggression against anyone was committed. Both parties are better off, because otherwise they would not engage in such action. Unless you have some case against it, it is considered a good thing, win-win.
