Re: With FACTA going into affect in 2014, people will be fleeing to Bitcoin
I'm sorry but there isn't an alternative to TAXES. If you want public services to exist, roads to be paved, streets to be cleaned, downed trees to be picked up etc etc etc then there has to be funds that take care of it.
I love how you guys wanna be left alone and shit and when you get scammed or lose your bitcoins you wanna get the law involved. I mean talk about hypocrisy.
If you wanna be on your own, then pack your belongings and move to an island somewhere with your bitcoins. But you don't wanna do that do you? No of course, you want to be part of a functioning society. Then until you live here do as is required by a citizen and pay your taxes and stop depending on others to do if for you.
There actually is an alternative to theft, it's called voluntary action and the free market. Public services might very well be replaced entirely by charity if people had the 40-70% of wealth that's stolen from them at every turn. I've seen early colonial towns build their roads through cooperatives and as an exercise of free market capitalism because without it, their commerce suffers. Society's been pretty conditioned to feel like a central "authority" needs to be there for life to be decent. Well just wait until that authority grows beyond its welcome, as it inevitably does.
