I think you are mixing two unrelated issues. Giving away your inheritance to other people's children won't suddenly make you surrounded by love. You will still die alone and unhappy. Better to just spend that wealth on hookers and drugs, or a sexy nun, or whatever makes you happy. I did not look at stats, but I think suicides are more skewed towards poor.
How is redirecting wealth taxes solves demographics crisis? Affluent people choose to not have children because there won't be jobs and happy life for them. Bringing more children to be hungry in ever more competitive world is evil. Poor do selfishly procreate as a pension plan. Skinning wealthy to feed poor always ends in gulag, because rich are rich because they are smarter. They will always escape socialist redistribution. That's how bitcoin is relevant in this discussion.
Demographic collapse is not the cause of the world's economic woes. Not a problem that can be solved. It is the effect of technological progress, of our success as human civilization. Machines are invariably getting better and cheaper than meat workers. Shrinking human population goes hand in hand with shrinking profit margins, whether we like it or not. Darwinian evolution.
In Japan, Korea and other Buddhist countries taking own life is not a sin. I share belief that the whole universe is one evolving entity, with individual plants/animals/people but cells in that organism. We will die off and get replaced by more efficient (inorganic) cells to get the evolution going. In your small econ box you will probably call all this delusional shit, or off topic, but that's ok.
I don't think your views represent a sensible centre ground that most people would hold. Your views are very fringe, nihilistic, disturbed, not to mention poorly supported, and therefore not relevant to the discussion.
I wish you well, I hope you find some solid ground.

The sad truth is you are trying to save the ponzi scheme from collapsing by forcing the investors to make more babies.
reply
The sad truth is that you have no concept of what "collapsing" means in this context, as though bitcoin is a magic defense against societal collapse.

No, I understand it will probably be worthless in a civil war, or a global war. But maybe some local circular communities will adopt it. More likely, the sheep farm will turn into a high security gulag to prevent all that. We shall see, with very little room to influence the events.

Tax isn't the cause of the Ponzi scheme, fiat is.
Tax is a necessary part of securing the commons. Transaction fees are a tax.
In that context, the energy in support of wealth taxes can be redirected to prevent demographic collapse.

I know. The whole "services industry" and government bureaucracy create no value but reallocate it. They can't leech from the productive classes forever. There is almost nothing left to take, hence the focus on wealthy now. More bureacracy for more reallocation. A lean and efficient AI overlord is what probably comes next.

Thanks, good luck to you too.
