My experience is a little different to yours... I live in Mexico, and people have no problems questioning authority. Even when I speak to a lot of people who work for the state, bureaucrats and policemen, they agree that government isn't the way to do things.
we do cheat state when we feel we can get away with it, but to openly fight the oppression?
I'm not talking about fighting the state though. I'm talking about something much more beautiful... I'm talking about ignoring it.
I agree that for they're afraid of one taxman, and that's the sad reality - for now. That won't necessarily continue into the future. As I mentioned to @cardsanarchy, it's still rather speculative. But that's the trend I see developing based on the premises that: 1. people like keeping, spending, giving their own money as they choose; and 2. the more anonymous they feel, the more likely they are to ignore laws - especially those that punish victimless crimes. As I mentioned, there really isn't too much difference between sharing movies and evading taxes - providing it is a common practice. The penalties are comparable. Of course, it takes a few brave souls to go first, perhaps even to advertise the fact. Once you are one of thousands or millions, it'll seem a lot more natural. Time will tell.
There are also several technical questions which the tax authorities will have to look at. At the moment, in some jurisdictions, if you hold crypto and don't realise your gains in fiat currency or purchases, you are not taxed on those gains. Now, if I take my SBD and put it into Dash, and cover my tracks a little, nobody will be able to say how much I finally put into fiat currency or spend. So, all I have to say to those tax authorities is, good luck.
Thanks for your comment and have a good one
