Its not really true.
You can literally do all your business however you want and then on "tax day", you sell whatever you used to buy the amount of currency in the form you need to pay your taxes.
For example, you could get paid in bitcoin or buy in bitcoin and do your accounting and at the end of the month, you sell the amount of bitcoin you need at whatever market rate to buy the exact amount needed to pay your taxes

#bitcoin is used by the capitalists in the abusive fashion you despise about the capitalists, it's not an alternative
#crypto had great promise but the whole space is now grift: whales stealing from naive believers and degenerate gamblers
nevermind the massive energy waste
i am aware other cryptocurrencies don't waste energy, but they all fleece suckers and rubes in pump and dumps
fuck #bitcoin and #cryptocurrency

These fuckers are looting the U.S. treasury. 100s of billions of congressionally appropriated tax dollars are unaccounted for since March. I am willing to bet most has been converted and redistributed already. 1/2

"cryptocurrencies" a.k.a shitcoin were the scam they are from day1. its silicion valley teaming up with wallstreet to give bitcoin a bad name.
regarding bitcoin: nobody claims it will magically fix everything. what it does though is its adoption ends the capitalist money printing privilege.
that doesnt mean some of todays capitalists wont buy a lot, but its traded for their class privilege
@serapath @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
"what it does though is its adoption ends the capitalist money printing privilege"
it's 2025 not 2015
go sell your true believer shit elsewhere
bitcoin is nothing but an engine of all the abuses of capitalism you despise
of course it didn't mean to be that
but libertarian morons continually demonstrate why regulation is necessary, and what we get if you have none: worse than what they despise
@benroyce @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
can you be more specific what you mean specifically when you say that?
i am following this for a long time and i dont see anything that has changed between 2015 and 2025. ...now i am talking exclusively about bitcoin, which cpuld not be more different from all the rest of shitcoin blockchain cryptocurrency crap.
i am deriving what i am saying purely from bitcoins rules and the observable development.
@serapath @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
man, i don't have to engage street preachers in debate
there is no debate. the whole of bitcoin is a con job
the con is simple:
1. promise a lot
2. don't deliver
3. but nevertheless generate adoring devotion off of the promise
that's you at step 3. a perfect victim
nevermind the massive energy waste is a show stopper. no replacement for regular currency can function like that
face it
you're a cult member
@benroyce @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
馃挴 agree. cryptocurrencies are a con job.
you just go to any page and look at their token price... pump and dump scams where you look. all premined and venture capitalist backed. its what i said.
bitcoin is different. it grows in value since inception, but thats not the main point.
it ends capitalist class privilege. none of the shitcoins is even trying
@benroyce @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
of course, we still need unions, mutual aid networks, worker coops, and so on... to take over the means of production. The point of an open source 21 million limited supply bitcoin is, that capitalists cant undermine all those needed efforts by printing their way out like they did in the past.
we need all of it.
and bitcoin mostly motivates renewables and funds those embrqcing renewables where nobody else will.
@benroyce @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
oh lastly - bitcoins high energy consumption levels are there, because its like an immune system fending off attacks while we are still living under capitalism.
once capitalism is defeated, everyone is better off stopping the mining, because there is no benefit to it other than ramping it up temporarily to defeat fraudsters... like an immune system essentially.
@benroyce @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
if fraudsters know their cheating operations will always be undone by peoppe starting up mining and correcting it, its a deterrant from even trying, because a certainty that it will be undone means the fraud effort will be negated and it was essentially a net loss by fraudsters
@serapath @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
do you understand i'm reading your posts with the same attitude of listening to a demented street preacher?
because that is, in effect, what you are
you have this wide eyed true believer shit, and everyone can see the painfully obvious bullshit for what it is
fuck
bitcoin
@serapath @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
"bitcoins high energy consumption levels are there, because its like an immune system fending off attacks while we are still living under capitalism."
man fuck you you fucking cult member
do you understand how deranged you sound?
@benroyce @cy @vnikolov @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
no need to be rude.
most of 21 mio. have been mined.
nobody can print more than 21 mio. this is fact, thus no money printing for capitalists. its a fact.
also - if you cant print new coins, there is no incentive to mine and keep the mining so energy intensive.
if leas computers mine, the proof of work difficulty will reduce itself, so no energy waste anymore. why would ppl waste energy if it doesnt pay them?
@cy @vnikolov @benroyce @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
Anyway, the gist is: Lets stop using capitalist money.
Capitalists print money and become cantillionaires who buy the "lion share" of the "fruits of our labour" and keep us all payrolled to do what they want and they print it via commercial banks. Its their exclusive capitalist class privilege.
By using their colonialist capitalist money, you empower them to do it.
Maybe stop empowering them by using their money?
@cy @vnikolov @benroyce @GhostOnTheHalfShell @gabbywheels @StillIRise1963
Of course - they call it loans, but global private debt rises faster and faster since forever and never gets paid back.
This is how they steal the value from us.
Normal people dont get that new money and if they do - its for mortages but we all need to pay back or lose our assets. Capitalists are different here and we have to end this 馃檪
