Stand up for something in your life. Bitcoin is a worthy cause. Imagine future text books: "The people of the 2020's won our financial freedom from fiat-banking by transacting in Bitcoin, and being very careful to fill out IRS Forms 1099-crypto, 1099-X; and because of their honesty, Bitcoin became our non-inflationary currency!"
1BTC=1BTC, same in 2014, same today - there are NO gains here... If you buy into the state sponsored tax-fear campaign, you spend 10k sats today, and simply purchase 10k sats today to replenish. The fiat cost-basis becomes a wash. The state attack on Bitcoin is drowning you in IMPOSSIBLE paperwork.
Why are we, as "Bitcoiners" so hell-bent on being honest with unaccountable multi-millionaire pedophiles?
Hey I'm with you. I think it's just an honest take though that this is going to be an obstacle to large scale payment adoption in the US. Most people are going to be practical and not ideological about BTC.
You're correct! And it's up to us to communicate and LIVE by example the benefits of money without rulers. If we ourselves bend to rules outside the protocol, what's the f*cking point - just give up now and sell your stack. It is up to ALL of us to sew the seeds of monetary revolution. More and more people will see the freedoms we have seized and enjoy, and the word spreads exponentially. We also need to be very honest about how absolutely disgusting our leaders (captors) are.
At least in the US, payments will always be a problem until there is a de minimis cap gains tax exemption.
