RE: Bitcoin (cryptocurrency in general really) as a path to world peace.

in #bitcoin8 years ago

Can bitcoin even be taxed? Can a government know what you have in cryptocurrency or what you buy with it? If they can't then cryptocurrency becomes a serious constraint on government excess of all types.

Sort:  

Bitcoin is already taxed as an asset like a commodity would be. A government can know by checking the publicly available blockchain to see each transaction, should they know how to use it. Crypto constrains government in that they can't print it.
