Aye, well, in the U.S. at least there's a big overlap between Crypto bros and alt-right libertarians, sovereign citizens etc. Of course, since one of the most common beliefs touted by them is that the universal adoption of BTC will get rid of the IRS, banks and central government, they may just be counting on the risk going away.

And I agree, avoiding paying taxes seems to go hand in hand with the ideology of many in crypto, they are going to have a nasty shock in a few years time when the IRS or HMRC come knocking on the door with a large bill to pay. Unless you managed to completely avoid ever interacting with a KYC exchange it seems inevitable in a few years they will be able to run transaction histories through software and map out peoples history, I expect one of the Big 4 will become a major player in doing this and will probably do it for free in exchange for a slice of any successful penalties recovered.
