This is a government-free economy. They deserve no cut of it. Besides, if we do spend it on goods and services eventually, every other stage of production has already been taxed. The racketeers have no legitimate claim to any of that, so why pretend they have any here, either?
Good luck with that strategy.
In the meantime, I’d recommend NOT giving tax advice to anyone with such a belief system, as you’d be encouraging what equates to tax evasion/fraud and taking serious risks.
Is the system fair? No. But the laws are laws, no matter how much we may disagree. Deserve or not deserve, if you’re earning income in crypto and not reporting it, you may be asking for trouble.
It's not tax advice, it's a philosophical argument. Legality does not define morality.
If only philosophical, moral cases would hold up in a court of law...
"Law" is formalized systemic bullying, plain and simple. Bullies don't care about philosophy or morality. Courts are where bullies primp and preen.
