34% think BTC earnings should be taxed. Where is the belief in Freedom to profit off of your own money without the tax man having to show up everytime. Imagine the absurdity of a man picking a apple off of his tree and selling it to you and then the tax man jumps out from behind a bush to make sure he get's his tax. I am not against taxes. I am against taxing everything. There should be things we can do to make earnings without taxation eg crypto. To them it's monopoly money anyways.
I came to the understanding since some time that the income tax is immoral. You work for 3months more or less depending on where you live just to pay taxes. That is your work and your money. The Gov has done nothing to deserve getting your money. And many work and cannot save because of bills and taxes. It's like they are slaves to some money sucking hole that just won't stop sucking. We shouldn't have to pay 1 cent more than necessary.
What do you think?

Sort:  

no, it should not be taxed. let them consider it as monopoly money ;)

In a lot of "first world" countries, goverments produces nothing, and get 50% (or even more) of private companies revenue. They are the parasites of this era.

Government should also start covering losses faced in dealing in Cryptos if they are expecting taxes from the benefit.

Exactly. You cannot tax wealth and profit and then not support loses. Hell they bailed out their blasted financiers.

Taxing BTC?
a big NO for me.

Honestly surprised by the outcome. Would have expected more than 80% support for taxing it. The audience might be quite biased?

Anyways, if you want to tax it, where do you even stop? Do we also soon have to pay taxes on WOW gold? After all that could also be sold for $ and has a market value. Can I make losses in WOW to compensate for gains in BTC?
