In other words:

(1) tax evasion + capital controls evasion

(2) tax evasion

(3) tax evasion

(4) justice system evasion

I mean I get that the laws bitcoin evades quotes here are "unjust". They are still the law, however. Some states have unjust laws, and middle eastern muslim states, well the democracies there make dictatorships elsewhere look good ...

The price, of course, is that the 1% pay 10% less tax.
