To put it in a naive tech twist - maybe there should be an online tool that allows me to distribute a proportion of my wages to a list of "people who care for me and things I care about".
Basically, can I create my own tax system and transact most of my affairs in it? Would anyone be interested in joining? Has DogeCoin already tried to do that?
I would never live completely outside of state taxation, because of obvious practicalities like the military. (By the way, Graeber has an argument that army is the reason for existence of both money and taxes in his book on Debt.)
In technical terms, post-bitcoin there is no reason for the state to be involved in the tax system.
DogeCoin was a close attempt at an ecosystem where money goes around and contributes to good causes, not sure what is going on with it now.
There are successful local currencies(Brixton pound) that support local city councils, can the same thing be done on a global scale?
