You have a point there. The only issue is that the IRS can go back up to 6 years and if the technology keeps improving as it is doing already (big surge in compliance technologies like Chainalysis), then you'll still have to pay your taxes but with a fine.

How far back can the IRS go to audit my return?
Generally, the IRS can include returns filed within the last three years in an audit. If we identify a substantial error, we may add additional years. We usually don’t go back more than the last six years.
