Spending on sex toys is not special, unless the national security apparatus (or more likely your competitor in the private sector) already has a reason to try to discredit you. Which is a valid concern for activists, but not most people.

Translation: "Rights are essential for small group of people, because everyone else is not exercising them anyway. So lets just take the rights away".

From where do you derive a right to hide your finances from a government whose power to levy an income tax is explicitly codified in the Constitution?

1) Bitcoin is incredibly more transparent than banking system or tax system. If anything, it is not convenient for tax evaders. HSBC, however, managed to launder 200bln of drug money.

2) I'm a person. I have to pay taxes. Top500 corps - not so much, in practice. What do you say about that?

3) Where the fuck did you get that I'm a tax evader? I was addressing your point about people's rights and your evaluation of their need of having those rights.
