If you work for McCool International, you are not allowed to give us your SSN or your real name. We operate on pseudonymns only. So, there will be no taxation. We have similar arrangements with our suppliers, and have a vertically integrated supply chain that is all operating pseudonymously without any reporting. Soon our inexepensive manufactured products will be available at black markets near you, and since we avoid all the bullshit middlemen and taxation we can certainly undercut the "lol abiding" (as we like to call them) competition.

The most pure form of capitalism.

The IRS does not tax "intangible religious benefits." Money donated to a church for which you are not compensated for in anything other than 'intangible religious benefits' is tax deductible.

So obviously the solution is to design a currency denominated in intangible religious benefits.

Do not waste your time debating whether Bitcoin can work. It does work.

"Early adopters will profit" is not a sufficient condition to classify something as a pyramid or Ponzi scheme. If it was, Apple and Microsoft stock are Ponzi schemes.

There is no such thing as "market manipulation." There is only buying and selling.

I would love to see a simple majority of U.S. Citizens for one year take their maximum exemptions on the W-4 and the next April they don’t send money but instead send a form letter simply stating, “Hey remember that No War For Oil thing – I meant it!”
That would give a whole new meaning to prison overcrowding. Trust the government to try it anyway.

+1 I'd be willing to give up a lot to see this.

But I already get intangible spiritual benefits from my bitcoins. Don't you?

Satoshi is my god, and bitcointalk.org is my place of worship.

Although I suppose for it to be recognised as a "religion" we might need a pope and/or devil figure. Any suggestions? Krugman perhaps? Cheesy
