RE: Education in cryptology and Blockchain is necessary
I think a lot of the negative connotation about cryptocurrencies are because in some small amount of countries, they are considered illegal and associated with criminal activities such as money laundering...
The people who are trying to replace national currencies with cryptocurrencies are actually trying to change that part of history, so cryptocurrencies can be used for legal money transfers.
In countries where cryptocurrencies are legal, they are taxed either similar to normal income from job, or as stocks, where you pay fixed tax for profit.
Yes, the thing there is that being its decentralized origin, in which the states have nothing to do with its creation, I don't see why one has to pay taxes to the state for an activity in which they have no participation.
And I understand that many times some controls are necessary, because of money laundering, for example...
Thank you for your comment @mtl1979
State and municipal taxes in current world don't make much sense anymore... Even if we pay taxes to support public services like healthcare, we still have to pay monthly fee to use hospitals and clinics. We even have to pay fees to defend ourselves in courts.
Last year I would have had to pay €0.15 in taxes because of all the deductions, but luckily there is minimum limit of €5.00.
