Trump has dropped another bombshell. This time he said: “I believe that in the near future, you won’t have to pay income tax at all.” It sounds like campaign candy, but if you think about it—the statement points directly at the very foundation of the entire fiscal system.

Let’s translate the subtext here: income tax is the core revenue source for modern governments. If this pillar truly gets shaken, they’ll either have to turn on the money printer to fill the hole, or completely overhaul the logic of taxation. Either way, the credibility backing fiat currency will develop cracks. And once those cracks appear, capital will instinctively look for an exit.

**What does this have to do with Bitcoin? A lot.**

First, Bitcoin was inherently designed to bypass traditional financial regulation. On-chain transactions, cross-border transfers, and relatively private ownership—these features would be amplified several times over under a scenario of “weakened taxation.” When a presidential candidate starts talking about “abolishing income taxes,” he’s actually opening up the imagination for non-sovereign assets.

Next is the issue of credibility. Taxation isn’t just about collecting money—behind it is the binding relationship of “state enforcement + fiat currency circulation.” You have to pay taxes in fiat, so you have to hold fiat. Once that logic is undermined, people lose a major incentive to hold fiat currency. Capital will flow like water toward assets that are more censorship-resistant and harder to dilute.

The third point is even more crucial: a narrative upgrade. In the past, Bitcoin was positioned as “digital gold” or an “inflation hedge.” But if the tax system truly undergoes structural change, Bitcoin’s role could leap from “safe-haven asset” to “base currency in the post-sovereign era.” This isn’t a technological upgrade; it’s a cognitive revolution—far more profound than any ETF approval or halving cycle.

**But let’s stay calm—politicians’ words need to be taken with a grain of salt.**

Such extreme statements are likely just tools to win votes, and the odds of them actually being implemented are close to zero. In the short term, the market may not even react positively—signals of “government fiscal chaos” could trigger panic selling first, affecting all risk assets.

So don’t overreact. Hold your spot positions, don’t use leverage, and stay clear-headed. What you’re betting on isn’t next week’s price swings, but the slow migration in monetary system perception over the next decade.

When centers of power start openly discussing the possibility of “eliminating taxes,” what they’re really talking about is the speed at which the old order collapses. In this process, those who position themselves early in non-sovereign assets may be standing at the entrance to the next era.

Will you continue following the old system step by step, or have you quietly prepared yourself an exit route?
