You can use cryptocurrency which hides all of your transactions (like zcash) and pay your taxes as a law abiding citizen. There is no conflict here. Tax systems rely on citizens reporting anyway.
- n_ary 5y ago> You can use cryptocurrency which hides all of your transactions (like zcash) Nit: only if you use zcash shielded wallets(very rare & resource hungry) are your assets private. Most wallets use transparent addresses, which is kind of similar to normal ones. Given current landscape, only monero is defacto private.

- MikeDelta 5y agoI really admire your faith in human kind. I am fairly certain that many citizens would be tempted to become creative in their transparency (or activities) if they knew they would never get caught. Such is human nature.
