I think we're talking about different things. I'm not saying the government is going to take try and just take everybody's crypto. But they absolutely could regulate in any way the want, just like with fiat.
In other words, crypto changes absolutely nothing when it comes to the relationship the government has with your money. If the government wants your money and you don't give it to them, you go to jail. Crypto isn't going to change that.
Is crypto considered money though or is this more equivalent to the government coming in and repurposing your tv? Generally curious, not trying to pile on what if scenarios
Definitely money. You really think the government is just going to let you loophole your way out of taxes?
When was the last time TV’s went up in value by thousands of times, creating tons of millionaires and billionaires, and advertised itself as a money replacement? The government isn’t stupid when it comes to collecting your money.
