I'm in the UK, and our current government is intent on sucking money out of any savings or assets that we own. They are starting to impose Draconian measures to control any financial transactions or holdings. I believe that this could lead to an increase in the use of P2P transactions that are kept away from exchanges and government control. Do you believe that this will lead to an increase in transactions between members of fora such as Bitcoin Talk, or will such transactions be a rich grazing ground for government investigations?
Very much relatable, read recently a news that says my country government will start taxing individuals 25% of their income as long as it goes beyond a fixed amount which basically the amount is so low that even the poorest of the poor if consistently transacting can reach hence I immediately thought of it as a reason to start using bitcoin as p2p as soon as this tax takes effect, since we have some few people from my country in this forum if they offer whatever I would want to get I will perhaps prefer to go on a p2p purchase than have anything to do with exchange or banks or even the government reachable control.
