A word of caution, we are not advocating to avoid paying sales tax. This website or blockchain is not a safe haven from tax laws, whether we agree with them or not they are still the law. Everyone is obligated to track and pay their taxes.
I do really appreciate your comment and support. And you philosphy toward reuse and creating what you need is very honorable.
I think that regardless of fluctuations in crypto, we will find more and more ways to spend SBD/steem without having to convert to fiat and that in itself will help us understand the value of SBD/steem for their own earning/purchasing power and not what they can get us in coverting to FIAT. Homesteaders co-op attempts to help move us in that direction. If we can look beyond the fluctuations to support ourselves we will have more strength and power in our community.
I offer a toast to sustainability and a future where self-reliance grows rather than the current trend of dependence, which is proving to be harmful to our species and the environment.
CHeers!
