When you file taxes on crypto gains, are you technically enabling the system you might not believe in? This question sits at the heart of many Web3 enthusiasts' dilemmas—paying into a fiscal framework that may not align with decentralization ideals. It's a legitimate tension: comply with regulations and fuel institutions, or resist and face legal consequences. The math doesn't feel clean either way.

It's really pushed into a corner. Paying taxes is like extending the system's life; not paying means jail. This multiple-choice question is toxic.

nah honestly the whole "enabling the system" angle is just cope. statistically speaking, you're gonna pay taxes anyway—might as well not catch a felony doing it. reminds me of the UST crowd trying to justify their losses with philosophy lmao

ngl this is the thing I struggle with every year... Paying taxes feels like digging my own grave.

I've been thinking about this philosophical question for three years, but I still can't figure it out. But then again, it's probably impossible to make money without paying taxes.

NGL, this is a false proposition. If you don't pay taxes, you'll really go to jail; if you pay taxes, you can still continue to make a profit. Which one is more decentralized?

NGL, this is a false proposition. Making a fortune and still obsessing over ideals...
