20 sats \ 15 replies \ @kr 25 Jan 2023 \ on: Taxes & Spending Bitcoin (KYC'd Sats) bitcoin
i think you’re asking an important question.
it may not a big deal when the amounts are a few pennies or dollars, but there will come a time when people start slinging around thousands of dollars in sats each month.
i haven’t found a good tool for keeping track of all lightning activity yet, part of the problem is that it’s possible to send and receive from many different apps that don’t talk to each other.
You are so busy and concentrated on how to open that door instead of just fuck it around... Sadly, this is happening with the majority of law abiding citizens.
STOP being a shitizen (aka slave), be a damn sovereign individual.

i thought @bitcoinerrorlog had the right view on this issue in our recent conversation.
ignoring the law is stupid, trying to get regulators to support bitcoin won’t work, but building a system that cannot be regulated and fighting for bitcoin rights seems like the path forward.

WHAT is "the law"?
If I write on a piece of paper "I am allowed to rob you" you will obey that paper, named "law"?
Because this what it is taxation, ROBBERY. Say it the true name.
From where is coming the authority of those "regulators"?
Who gives them authority over me, the living man?
If somebody have any authority or jurisdiction over me, is not that SLAVERY?
I never consent to anybody to have any authority over me, so why am I lied, forced, deceived to obey their authority, aka slavery?
WHEN PEOPLE WILL WAKE THE FUCK UP AND SEE THESE THINGS?
reply
i hear you.
what is your best guess for why people have not “woken up to see” the things you outline?
repetitively yelling at people to wake up is insanity, perhaps it’s time for a new strategy…

Unfortunately I don't think there's an answer to this. We've seen time and time again throughout history how people need to be pushed to the absolute bottom of the well to want to get out, otherwise they'll stay put miday through (or even ask to be pushed a little bit down because it feels safer).
Recently all I've seen is the issue getting worse by the day. Both left-wing and right-wing individuals just want a dictatorship, just one that's on "their side". Whoever wants to climb out of the well must choose to do that on their own.
That's my pessimistic view on this

Bitcoin doesn't give a shit about any "wings", left or right, black or white.
It simply FUCK'EM'ALL.
Bitcoin is for sovereign individuals not for obedient slaves of "wings"...
reply
Yup, I used that term because society as a whole is obsessed with it nowadays, people want to fit into a "wing". Bitcoin (and libertarianism) is above that, since wings are inherently political and, thus, disgusting

How do you pay for the electricity that charges your phone to type all this non sense? In all the countries I lived electricity or gas had taxes.
I can't understand how you are so wise in some areas and such a non sense brain in others
reply
The fact that you live under a rock, it doesn't mean everybody else also live under a rock...
reply
Sure, but you are not responding to the question of how you deal to get electricity, gas for your vehicle, or any goods and services to survive without paying taxes.
I only know 1 way where that's possible, and is from mommies basement.

Did you read ALL my guides?
I wrote several of them...
reply
I read your guides, definitely not all of them, you are very prolifient. And I thank you again for your work.
Still, that list is not putting food in your plate, gas in your car, or stuff in your house. You are paying taxes the same as the rest of us.
You need to think a little bit like the institutions. People rarely get audited. You are probably not at the top of audit list. If you don't disclose your lightning transaction no one cares. As long as you disclose the big transaction, no one will bother to come knock on your door to check how much money to tipped on SN.
