It's actually possible. If taxes due get assigned and tracked to particular bitcoin fractions, and since taxes incur interest, we could be in a situation one day where you would get paid to accept ownership of btc.

It would be surreal, but if the IRS is given hope that it's a way to get people scared of btc, and that the KYC data all these exchanges have allow accurate enough accounting and tracking, they would do it, givin all sort of explanation as to why the new taxation rules are needed.
