Extradition for Tax Evasion: A Deeper Motivation?

The extradition of an individual from Spain to the United States for tax evasion raises questions about the underlying motivations of the U.S. government. This case involves a charge of 109 years in prison for a non-citizen who was promoting the use of Bitcoin as an alternative currency. The individual suggests that the government's anger is not primarily about tax evasion, but rather about the challenge posed by cryptocurrencies to government control of money. The promotion of Bitcoin is viewed as a serious threat to government authorities, who prefer to maintain dominance over financial systems.
