There is certainly some of that. No question about it.
But I believe the greater issue... is the lack of education. The lack of imagination. The lack of educational curiosity...
And the lack of "low time preference". To see out beyond the horizon and imagine a different world base on energy, computers, and and free-actors organizing around a different system.
I have acquaintances who sell refrigerators, refurbished goods, computer parts, artwork, shoes etc etc... in small amounts of course but they only deal in cash. They aren't declaring their 'artwork hustle' for their 'shoes hustle' for tax purposes they simply don't care/it's too insignificant.
And people wouldn't really care about taxes for Bitcoin either at daily levels. So I don't think that's it. It's more of an education issue.
Most people struggle to understand the fiat monetary system...perhaps 2% of the general population and perhaps 30-40% of 'Bitcoiners' do. It is via control of the narrative that fiat rules. Yes it is lack of understanding that obstructs Bitcoin adoption most fundamentally and education can slowly change that and it is changing that very slowly, but the forces and momentum of narrative construction are firmly in favour of the fiat narrative drivers- the banks and governments as can be seen by the overwhelming narrative around Bitcoin. Most 'Bitcoiners' have swallowed the NGU speculative commodity narrative hook line and sinker. Most people do care about complying with the law unless they understand very well a very good reason for not complying- even then a majority will comply...unless there is a good reason not to as in side hustles where compliance is easily avoided when using cash...using Bitcoin now might be seen as risky as 90%? plus has already been KYCed! Lawful Bitcoin use as a MoE has been made impractical and that greatly assists the speculative commodity capture and control narrative. Deny reality all you like but it does not change reality.
