I don't think your views represent a sensible centre ground that most people would hold. Your views are very fringe, nihilistic, disturbed, not to mention poorly supported, and therefore not relevant to the discussion.
I wish you well, I hope you find some solid ground.
The sad truth is you are trying to save the ponzi scheme from collapsing by forcing the investors to make more babies.

The sad truth is that you have no concept of what "collapsing" means in this context, as though bitcoin is a magic defense against societal collapse.

No, I understand it will probably be worthless in a civil war, or a global war. But maybe some local circular communities will adopt it. More likely, the sheep farm will turn into a high security gulag to prevent all that. We shall see, with very little room to influence the events.

Tax isn't the cause of the Ponzi scheme, fiat is.
Tax is a necessary part of securing the commons. Transaction fees are a tax.
In that context, the energy in support of wealth taxes can be redirected to prevent demographic collapse.

I know. The whole "services industry" and government bureaucracy create no value but reallocate it. They can't leech from the productive classes forever. There is almost nothing left to take, hence the focus on wealthy now. More bureacracy for more reallocation. A lean and efficient AI overlord is what probably comes next.

Thanks, good luck to you too.
