should just get rid of cap gains across the board, for all assets it is a predatory tax on savings

What if we just got all ~160M Americans to stop paying all of our taxes altogether? What would they do?

I’d eliminate capital gains period. Doesn’t matter what currency you’re using: you still already earned it and the government doesn’t get to charge your income when you do and THEN also later ask for yearly taxes.
Priority #1: let money be money. Priority #2: remind bureaucrats Bitcoin doesn’t care about borders…or their tax forms.

90% of taxes need to go. Our government was funded almost exclusively by tariffs in its beginning. I only mentioned capitol gains because of the context of the original post.

Frankly, asset or currency, I don’t think governments have the right to assess the value of something and then tax you on their assessment. That’s how they play scams like inflating property values to force people off properties via property tax.
My point was that anyone who's living on Bitcoin using Bitcoin as their currency by choice shouldn't pay capital gains tax on the value increase of their currency vs the hyper inflating bullshit others are using. There is no gain, 1 BTC = 1 BTC

Okay. We are making the same points and talking past each other when we are in agreement. I said the exact thing. I just applied it more universally to any and all non-inflating assets.
