RE: Walking the currencies
It is interesting in several ways with tax because essentially, no government has any hand in any of it so as long as it doesn't touch their economic tools, it shouldn't matter but, they should want to incentivize the usage of crypto in their markets at various levels, not punish it because it travels easily.
That's the longterm problem though. It doesn't touch the local government except that the person is using local electricity, internet, etc. That's the same reason that at least here in the US there are now sales taxes on purchases over the internet. If crypto will be accepted by governments, it is going to have to be taxed. They will never settle for losing tax revenues.
But this has tax already paid on it.
I agree but there are also other factors in play that need to be considered such as, who is doing the earning? Does indigoocean have a tax file number? Once the YOU takes possession of it in some governmental controlled form, then it is a different story. It is going to get complicated legally across borders too.
Potentially, the entire tax system could be reimagined in a way that would be better for all, instead of funding wars by using debt mechanisms and inflation.
