Why does this guy think that Bitcoin can't be taxed? It's not like the government has magical dollar taxing beams. My employer would be in a terrible legal situation if they did not withhold taxes from my income, and I would be in a similarly bad situation if I knowingly did not pay my taxes. Really, nothing should have to change if my income is in Bitcoins -- my employer will withold, and I will file taxes every year.

Agreed... back before electronic transactions were a thing, cash was about as untraceable as bitcoin, and taxation was still effective.
