I am just thinking:
Yea, governments cannot print more Bitcoin. So yea, i am 'save from inflation'.

But: they just tax my profits.
That's basically the same?

1. They print fiat.
2. Every rare good on earth rises in price. Also Bitcoin.
But perhaps the buying-power keeps even exactly the same (cause everything costs more). Buying-power could even shrink while price rises in fiat terms.
3. But then they tax my 'profit', eg 28%

Imagine i always hold my buying power because Bitcoin rises with inflation, but whenever i sell Bitcoin i gotta pay those eg 28% of my profits.
Does it really matter if the state takes away my money by inflation or by taxes?

Inflation makes it that basically your assets rise and rise in dollar terms, buying power stays the same, but i have 'high profits' that have to be taxed.
I guess worst case i could imagine very high inflation, basically nearly all my principal is profit and then i get 40% taxed on it.

Once Bitcoin is in late mayority of adoption stage i think there will be no more cracy gains, it will just be a bit better than gold, keeping up with inflation. The more inflation, the more taxes you pay. So basically eg with 40% tax you are only saved from around 60% of the fiat-inflation.


Counter:
I guess taxes are cheaper than inflation. (eg 30% tax means i guess you are saved from around 70% of the inflation)
You only get taxed if you sell (unless they really go for taxing unrealized gains).
I guess governments cannot practically rise taxes superhigh cause people flee the country or smth.
I guess taxing crypto different then other asset classes hopefully doesn't fly.
Stocks and real estate are also taxed, still people who hold stocks and real estate are doing much much better with inflation than non-holders.
