Well what did you expect? If you deal in any other currency than Canadian (dollars?) you must pay taxes, so why not so with Bitcoin?
Why not bitcoin? Because
taxation is theft. The only reason they want to tax it is because they cant help but extort money from their cattle. Any time they see someone trying to break free from their scheme, they put systems in place to prevent others from doing it. Its high tech slavery, where you let the slave pick and choose their job and place to live, making them more productive to the slave owner.
Once something like zerocoin comes out and the ledger is nothing but a big washing machine, how are they going to tax it? as long as you don't deal in their garbage fiat, how could they tax you?
Yes. That. +1
The other thing is that only CAD can be used to pay taxes in Canada. BTC isn't "legal tender" for taxes.
You guys sort of have it backwards.
The ability to pay taxes and stay out of jail...
Is the Big Thing that gives all Fiat Currencies real Intrinsic Value...
Unless you are a hobo and don't have to worry about stuff like family, house, car, college, etc...
Really, this thread is like denying that Death exists.
Wow..
The ability to pay taxes and stay out of jail...
Someone tells you you have to pay them or they come cage you up, and if you resist they kill you. You're such a statist that you see this as ok? If I do it to you, Its called extortion and theft. I never agreed to that, did you?
Is the Big Thing that gives all Fiat Currencies real Intrinsic Value...
What gives fiat intrinsic value is the fact that its accepted for everything. "all debts public and private", including taxes. fiat is a debt instrument with no REAL value and therefore, only serves the state.

Isn't this what bitcoin is for? Its the family, house, car, college, etc..., minus funding the coercive state that only uses that money to further its own agenda!
I cant believe this guy opened up with "The ability to pay taxes and stay out of jail...".
