If you could pay taxes in Bitcoin then it would actually be currency, otherwise, it's just another commodity. You can live in the middle of the woods and barter and/or only use Bitcoin, but without USD you're still getting your stuff taken away and going to prison for tax evasion. Barter is taxable after all, and trading commodities is taxed via capital gains.
