    Likely just to crypto, which will lead to more money for the grifters. Follow the money.

          No.

          Unless you are taking specific actions to avoid those activities while accomplishing something that would normally be taxable.

          For example, simply not buying or selling anything, or not working, means no sales or income tax. That’s all fine and dandy (and in fact if you make little enough money, you don’t even have to bother filing taxes). But if you say “oh, I’m not going to work for you, I’m just going to show up at this business every day and sweep the floor out of the goodness of my heart, and it’s just so incredible that there’s always a bag of groceries that would be going to waste each week” then yeah that’s evasion. Probably not to the level that the IRS would actually come after you, but evasion is how they got Al Capone, because they wanted to nail him on something.
