According to this article, > Bitcoin is pretty much designed for tax evasion. This assumes that the government needs to know how much money you have / make in order to tax you.

This alternative has been used for most of human history; the income tax is a fairly recent thing. (In the US, it is theoretically a "temporary" measure to pay for World War I.)
