Let me start by saying taxation is theft. More specifically, it's extortion.

I know this makes some people angry but just let the thought sink in for a second before reacting to it. A small group of people decided, before you where born, that dollars are legal tender. You did not consent to these decisions and yet you are still bound by them through laws you also did not consent too.

In other words, due to circumstances beyond your control you are legally required to pay tax in dollars and spending BTC is a taxable event. Almost as if the people who created these laws didn't want competing currencies circulating in their economies? Funny that.

Remember, taxation evolved from the kings men riding up to you and pointing a sword in your face until you paid. We might be a little more civilized today, but it hasn't evolved as far as some would like you to believe.

For the record, I pay my taxes. I just don't think the world needs to be this way forever. Taxation might very well be a necessary evil for society to function, but that doesn't mean we should just accept it as the only solution and stop looking for better alternatives.

But here's the thing.. the world can and does change. Sometimes it's peaceful change through protest, politics and diplomacy, sometimes change is messy with violence and war. That's how change happens.

Change is required for Bitcoin to win. Make no mistake, that fight is already happening.

But what are we fighting for? We are fighting for a better world for future generations. The humans on the earth today are not the same humans that will be here in 100 years. The people making the rules today will soon be dead and new people will take their place. Those future humans will be our children and grandchildren.

Okay, that got a little morbid but my point is that we shouldn't stop moving just because there's a few barriers in the way. These laws are just challenges to overcome and we do that by pushing forward.
