The sig is credit due to Holiday
By the GIF i meant to imply that there is no jurisdiction with the power to tax Bitcoin, we have reached escape velocity, the nation state is obsolete.

Ah, I see. That was my best guess. I'm mainly taking the other side of that bet, but I hope you and Holiday are right.
In fact, to me Bitcoin's biggest promise is that it may prove a viable tool/weapon to use in unpleasant future scenarios and I'll put some effort into trying to foster that. That this would entail also a decrease the government's power to trivially raise tax revenue is mostly coincidental to me. That is to say, from a philosophical point of view taxes bother me less than bail-ins like forms of theft, and especially loss of privacy which I consider a basic human right the loss of which is dangerous in all kinds of situations.
