RE: Bitcoin Fees Are Taxes Coerced By The Bitcoin Network?

I think he might actually be a good dude who's confused. Like you said, it's very difficult to convince someone of the truth when their income depends on believing a lie. Also, if he ends up sending his employers on a wild goose chase thinking they're going to control Bitcoin, I'm okay with it. It will help stave off any hostility from the state, at least temporarily. Honestly I think all we need is a few more years before they realize both that they can't control it and that it's also in their best interests to embrace its adoption amongst the citizenry. El Salvador got a huge jump start on everyone there, and it's going to give them a huge advantage when the superpowers are forced to do the same or get left behind. I think Nigeria might end up being in an even better position because they're coming at it from the bottom up there.
