Taxes being voluntary doesn't starve the government. In fact, the IRS isn't even going to care if most people just stop paying taxes with USD. They only target people who are worth targeting, and that doesn't change with Bitcoin. It just gets harder.

Yup, they'll actually have to offer services that people will want to pay for.

Sound familiar?
No, they'll still collect taxes from people that want to pay them. There are a lot of those people.

For now.
And now is all that matters concerning Bitcoin adoption.

Adoption: not alienating half the political spectrum.
Post-adoption: whatever you imagine.

Which half would that be? The half that wants to control other people? Fuck 'em.
Bitcoin is not a means to achieve a political end. It is a decentralized, fair monetary transfer system. Sabotaging what it is for what it is not is not constructive.

"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!"
