Genuine question: how do you tax a zap? Do you send a nice little invoice to every node and hope they declare it? Or maybe you knock on every Lightning channel asking for a cut?

By the time you figure it out, the sats have already been zapped five times across the globe. The regulator is always late, always second, always last, always playing catch-up.

We’re living in the internet of the ‘80s. Have fun with that, little nerds.
