- I've only "worked" for about 6 months since 2015, and that was for a non-profit I wanted to support.
- Haven't paid taxes ever; it's a voluntary choice to file taxes, and you only have to pay if you file (you're signing a contract.)
- Don't have to use USD for much really. Most farmers markets and such folks are open to crypto & silver, booking flights/renting cars/hotels can all be done via crypto. USD is really only necessary when dealing with corporate "stores," but since it's easy to swap crypto into USD, that's no problem.
From what I can tell, there are really only 2 things that keep people stuck in that system:
- Belief in the system/ignorance of alternatives
- Choices that lock one into the use of USD/other government fiat. If you decide to have some kind of insurance that only accepts fiat, or rent from someone who only accepts fiat, etc.
