-how taxes would work in a bitcoin dominated world
Depends on what you mean:
- what the state should do to continue taxing people
+1
Will taxing people still be possible?...
+1
A lot US-biased people on these forums seem to complain about US-specific problems, and often advocate some kind of "anarchic" and presumably tax-free society in response to
their country's problems. That's all very nice, but there don't seem to be any historic examples demonstrating how a Libertarian Utopia might actually work. And even if there used to be some anarchic societies in the past, clearly they all got destroyed for some or other reason. (Maybe they couldn't collect enough funds for a functional defence force, and a stronger, more evil power overpowered them?)
So, what I want to know is how can
ordinary societies with ordinary governments incorporate Bitcoin into their taxation systems, while avoiding social upheaval? And why would they want to?
If you like your "ordinary society" with "ordinary government", why bitcoins? Why not stay with these great shit currencies, these great taxes,...? Oh yes, you can't have one without the other. Governments will never adopt a bitcoin-like currency because they want to control the money, and they want to control the money to extract wealth from productive people.
And you want a libertarian country that worked well: the US. They became so wealth because it once was a libertarian country. That was looooonnng ago though.
And no, I'm not from US, I'm from France, a great "ordinary society" that works so well...; at enforcing poverty
