It's a bit sillier than that, since for the time being, crypto-bros are making money not by levying a tax on what people do online, but by speculating on the potential future income from levying a tax on what people do online.
Convincing others that there's imaginary future money on taxing online interactions is where the real present money is actually made. In a way, this turns their biggest weakness (they can't actually achieve their goal) into their biggest strength (their audience is people who aren't tech-literate enough to understand that they can't actually achieve their goal)
