Bitcoin can be money philosophically, but tax law doesn’t care about philosophy. The issue isn’t “cap gains on money is blasphemy.” The issue is Bitcoin acts like money when people want freedom, but acts like an investment when they want number go up. You can’t market it as a scarce appreciating asset for 15 years, celebrate every pump, tell people to HODL for generational wealth… then act shocked when the government taxes the gain like an asset. The better argument is a de minimis exemption for small Bitcoin payments. Because taxing every coffee purchase is stupid. But removing all cap gains tax? That turns Bitcoin into a tax-free investment wrapper for the wealthy overnight. That’s not money freedom. That’s a loophole with orange branding.
