That wasn't my implication, and a bunch of people around here have understood that, so I don't think it was a problem with me being unclear. You have to pay taxes on any Bitcoin transaction you would pay tax on if the same transaction was conducted in cash or gold or any other similar medium of exchange. Which contradicts your "if governments want to collect tax on Bitcoin transactions, they will need to run a mining farm" statement without being a blanket statement that every blockchain transaction needs to be taxed.
