The goverment SHOULD tax Bitcoin as a property, then it would be an incentive for Goverments to keep its value high and everybody wins.

States can create their own digital currencies, but as long as they can create an unlimmited ammount of it, then your savings in that currency will loose purchasing power, and it would be no different to the system we currently have.

Bitcoin is a savings technology, you can also have other assets as real state, gold. I don't see the Goverment excessively taxing those other assets. Bitcoin should be and will be taxed similarly to those.
