hilariousandco - you're talking past everyone and not getting the point

take five minutes to watch this bitcoin presentation, the way this guy explains it is amongst the best I've heard.

Five minutes to watch a video that is 65 minutes long? And what point am I not getting?

...it's not stealing if you willingly give up something.

For the umpteenth time, I do not willingly pay tax. I pay tax because I don't want to:

a) Go to prison;
b) Leave my friends and family;
c) Live off the work of others.

You can call those 'choices' if you want - same way as if you were mugged at knifepoint in the street, you might 'choose' to give up your wallet to avoid being stabbed. Doesn't make it voluntary, does it?

I don't know if hilariousandco is just playing devil's advocate or if he's a serial liar:

I pretend to be a woman online and set up a website pretending to be a financial dominatrix. Every now and again I get random shit sent to me from my Amazon Wishlist and I smile. Men are idiots.

But I don't think there's much point debating someone who is obviously not being intellectually honest.

I wasn't being serious about that, but how is that being 'intellectually dishonest' or where are my other serial lies? I also don't get how that invalidates my argument here.
