i know exactly. bitcoin breaks their models of infinite deficits so bitcoin is taxed (best case) as much as necessary to 'fix the model'
or possibly banned or 'bought back' because it would be 'best for consumers'. i can barely believe this paper exists.

Yeah, it is very wild. Thanks for the great write up. Have you looked at the recent ECB paper about bitcoin?

yes i skimmed over it. i'll look it over again... but this paper goes much further. if it were from a random think tank then oh well whatever... but it's from a US central bank sometimes this is how these things "justify" policy
