I'm a leftie and was also a bit bemused by the idea of using crypto to avoid paying taxes. Hopefully we can find a bit more exalted use of crypto than that.

This wouldn't be the first time that those on the fringes of the left and the right saw a common enemy - encroaching government with control in their hearts. * RM 1.4 B0037 *
