RE: The IRS has been using Bitcoin Tracking Software since 2015

It is true that we must pay our taxes to help the government build future infrastructure.

However, the way government has become is like they take the tax money for granted and do whatever they want with it and this keeps the population frustrated.

The lack of transparency, progress, unemployment rate, ... the list goes on where the government is lacking to make an impact.

How you want people to give the tax money happily? They know they won't get anything in return for this...

And the safest wallet, as you said, is the one we store our Bitcoins offline. There may be trace but they won't know who owns the wallet!

I completely understand where you are coming from with taxes and lack of transparency. You could say "down with the government, I don't want to pay my taxes." Great, but at some point if the government were to collapse we would have anarchy for a lot of things. Everyday things we take for granted like police, firemen, and other things would dissapear. We have roads, bridges, and other infrastructure that has to be maintained. Airline regulations would not exist, and we would have to define a new system to follow by. When people preach a civil war or society to collapse, I don't think many take implications of what that would have on civilization. Things like internet and electricity would be gone. This conversation right here on this platform, would be nonexistent if we have no civilization.

I'm a firm believer in a small, limited government, are bureaucracy has gotten out of hand here in the U.S. I do see hopefully in the future people realizing the democide and destruction governments have done over the past century. Schools never point fingers at the real causers of death and genocide over the 20th century. Just look up democide, it's how more people have died then any other cause.

Well said. Without a government, anarchy will take its place and we can go back till mastering fire again!

First time am hearing of democide and this is crazy scary how we are being manipulated!

But there should be an event or a catalyst that will force the government to stop taking on debt and dump it on the people to repay.

Am not against a government but take Switzerland for example. They have a form of government whereby citizens can challenge any federal laws through voting. Each state has it's own governance and the power is equally divided among 7 people.

Thank you! I definitely need to brush up on my fire making skills hahaha!

Democide is a word everyone should know, yet so little do.

It is crazy to think the US is in debt $20 trillion, and when will it go away. But it seems that all they can do is spend more money and ask for more taxes.

This is what is making today's economy unsustainable.

A new paradigm shift is on its way and Bitcoin is just the beginning!

Made a mistake with the use of minnowsupport!
