Can someone from a .gov, or a supposed "2nd or 3rd world" country (lol at some of the countries on there) grab the article and post it here? There's a $5 paywall otherwise (if it was BTC, I'd pay! )
Thx!

This HARVARD ECONOMICS PROFESSOR is real smart. I'm surprised they didn't give him a nobel prize yet.

I wonder if he read my post at Reddit last month:
1. With Bitcoin as the major tax pool it is ultimately Bitcoin consensus that governs.
2. Bitcoin government will be project based. Bloating won't exist as projects reach end of life after returning dividends to sponsors and participants of the network.
- just dreaming.

According to Rogoff, another plus for digital currency is that it could actually increase tax revenue, based on the notion that without cash, the government could finally track transactions, elimination the potential for tax evasion. While critics of digital currencies like bitcoin say it promotes misuse and illegal conduct, Rogoff says that it has the potential to do just the opposite, meaning that with increased tracking, illicit operations would no longer be possible.

If bitcoin proves to be the most efficient means of collecting taxes ever, there should be many benefits to efficiency never before realized. Eliminating the fraud, maybe all of a sudden it makes sense to not collect tax on food, fuel and charity for example. Once bitcoin becomes the most reliable reporter of income, IRS suddenly dumps big business and wall street accounting for the new sweetheart, bitcoin. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/21c9fe/irs_declares_bitcoin_as_property_not_currency/cgbvkkw
