Removing Taxes On Crypto Assets Will Protect Civil Liberties
Kennedy says that non-taxable events are unreportable which makes it more difficult for governments to weaponize currency against free speech; an objective of his administration when elected president of the United States. This idea is similar to the Clinton administration’s policy that exempted e-commerce from taxes which has been a major contributing factor towards Silicon Valley’s success today.
Back The Dollar With Finite Assets
