The biggest hurdle for the widespread adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) as an everyday means of payment is not the technology itself, but rather tax policy. This view is shared by Pierre Rochard, a board member of the Bitcoin treasury company Strive, in a report published by Cointelegraph. While some argue that technological improvements are necessary, Rochard emphasizes that the primary obstacle lies in the regulatory and tax frameworks that complicate the use of Bitcoin for daily transactions. He points out that current tax laws often treat Bitcoin as property rather than currency, leading to complex reporting requirements and potential tax liabilities for users. Rochard advocates for clearer, more favorable tax policies that recognize Bitcoin as a legitimate medium of exchange, which could significantly boost its adoption in everyday commerce.
