Or that they'd be resistant (even to the point of systemic suicide) to a system that is antithetical to (at least their mode of) theft?

That people are surprised about how corrupted they've been (& continue to be) is what's surprising to me.

When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compulsion - when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - when you see that men get richer by graft and...

There are three types of people. Those who aren't surprised, those who have no clue or interest in what you're talking about, and the those who benefit from the theft and support it. The vast majority are the second type.

on another point - what about taxes? if i buy bitcoin and send it on lightning network in exchange for a good or service am i taxed on the amount of capitol gains just the same as i would be if i swapped to another currency? i suppose crypto tax software figures that out for you.
