We could correct both problems by adopting a system of anonymous payments&mdash;anonymous for the payer, that is. (We don't want the payee to dodge taxes.) Bitcoin is not anonymous, though there are efforts to develop ways to pay anonymously with Bitcoin. However, technology for digital cash was first developed in the 1980s; we need only suitable business arrangements, and for the state not to obstruct them.
