Wow, that is remarkable. I wonder if this person knows what's possible with Bitcoin or if he's so locked into the ask for permission first mindset.
Suppose you want bitcoin to be money. Suppose you'd like to spend 10 bitcoin but only have 0.1 bitcoin worth of USD on hand. The tax rate is 15%. How do you send the 1.5 bitcoin to the tax man?
Choices here are to sell 1.5 bitcoin for USD to pay the tax or risk going to prison. But selling 1.5 bitcoin for USD is not using bitcoin as money. There is not exactly a problem but if you want to stick to the principle of only exchanging bitcoin for goods and services a little bit of yourself dies when doing that dirty exchange.
