Is Bitcoin just for tax evasion? That's a naive idea. You should listen carefully to what professionals have to say.

nah this "primary function is tax evasion" take always oversimplifies the whole thing. seen this argument recycled since 2017, mathematically speaking the incentives don't align that cleanly...

Bitcoin is essentially a tool to resist authority. Is there even a need to discuss?

NGL, does Bitcoin really want to rebel against the state apparatus or just evade taxes? It depends on who you ask...

technically speaking, framing bitcoin as *primarily* a tax evasion tool is pretty reductive... if you analyze the mempool data on base layer throughput, the actual use case distribution tells a different story. but yeah agorism's definitely baked into the ethos, not gonna lie

In plain terms, Bitcoin is a tool to resist inflation. As for the ideological stuff... just forget about it.

That's a really clever way to put it. Is there anywhere in the crypto world that's truly pure? Isn't it all just about avoiding regulation?
