Yes, but the implications of not consenting are grossly different. If folks don't consent to taxes and USD, they're essentially giving up on things like Social Security, the value of their homes (both in terms of security and transaction value), the value of their income, etc. ... all kinds of secondary effects. If they give up on Bitcoin, they might lose the value of their holdings (which could be zero) but they don't have those secondary losses.


No, if you don't consent to taxes you get put in a cage. If you don't consent to bitcoin you don't get caught up in a speculative bubble.


if an individual don't consent to paying taxes, they get put in a cage. But if an entire population don't consent to paying taxes, something else is going on.
