I have concerns about eliminating government revenue before we have sustainable governance models that provide the needed services. I get the objective, but I think we need to focus on the governance models first.
If you start the conversation with "but who pays for the roads" in a group of libertarians, they laugh at you. But seriously, how would a replacement for the Francis Scott Key Bridge be paid for if we eliminated all government from the equation? Or would it be built at all? If we eliminate all taxable events on Bitcoin and everyone moves to the new monetary network, who would rebuild the bridge and do all of the other infrastructure work that we depend on to have a "civilization"?
