> BTC is, functionally, just an alternative asset that hedges against inflation

Bitcoin is a terrible inflation hedge. This is quantitaitvely demonstrable over its entire existence. It's a good gambling asset, and in my opinion, should be taxed as such.

In some countries, that would decrease the taxation! (In the UK, for example, gambling income is tax-free)
