You can't say that unless this petition goes through and the white house makes that statement Until then we just don't know All we know is that the white house thinks 100,000 signatures is enough Americans to start paying attention for them to start paying attention

Very very unlikely, as it would require congressional approval as somebody pointed out

Besides, who would want to pay taxes with their bitcoins? I want to get rid of my fiat currency, not save it.

If you read it just asks for a bill to be written not passed so nothing suggested is outside of his power Any american can suggest legislation especially the president

That's wrong.

I don't see what paying taxes in bitcoins has to do with saving fiat

Obama's administration is said to be the most tech savvy in history... So we should help them get at least one online success under their belt

So , what was Montenegro currency?
This is a special case with a country appearing on the map overnight at the wrong time.

Do you always ask for permission before you do something?

At school once, I stood up to walk out, classteacher said "and where do you think you are going?" and I said "to use the toilet".

They said "That's not how you ask for permission"

I said "This thing isn't asking for permission either, and if I don't go now, it's going to roll down my leg out onto the floor. Is it going to need to ask permission, to take itself to the stalls?"

I said this with my hand on the open door, went straight out and did a comedy run the rest of the way. I really was about to crap myself, this was an early lesson for me in the bullshit logic of asking first for permission to do things.

I'm not asking for permission I'm asking for an announcement to the American people and an official payment address

obama and friends will 100% make sure you pay taxes on everything

Without taxes being paid in US dollars, how is all that lovely fiat going to come to use? Surely there must be a few countries we could still invade and ensure the almighty petrodollar reigns supreme?

Meanwhile in the Bat Cave...

You guys should know that the online petitions or anything that only requires a signature is immediately trashed upon reception ;D

Wrong

Many of these petitions have received responses from the white house and even from the president directly

I don't even think I'd want to be able to pay tax with bitcoin, yuck.

Maybe in late future if BTC wont die out :) Then probs.

Although I highly doubt it, it certainly would be really cool. And i'm sure it would cause the price of BTC to go up quite a bit.

It would go up for sure

That's not a good reason to stop trying though

Paying taxes in bitcoins is the first step to getting tax returns in bitcoin

And if you can't pay taxes in bitcoin then you have to have fiat for paying taxes which means it will be around longer than it should

So now he is a King? He does not have the authority to do this.


Valerie Jarrett does ;)

No matter who decides it the president would be the one to announce it Stop being stupid

Does that matter at all? Would a change of currency make you a happy taxpayer?

We've got to get rid of all income tax and the government itself. That's the goal.

If it is going to be the currency of the future it can't just be the currency of some imaginary rouge nation It has to be a currency everyone can use in the entire world

Do you know who Valerie Jarrett is?

Do you know what a King is?

I do not. Tell me what a king is.
