I grew up in Ukraine where my parents were earning and spending hryvna (local currency, high inflation) while saving in USD (much more stable). And a big value prop in favor of US dollar was its immunity to local country’s politics. Bitcoin

This is just moronic. Any tax should serve two purposes: (1) provide funds for the government to serve public and (2) incentivize the “good things” and disincentivize the “bad ones”. What does this proposal achieve for the second point??
