Yes, but, if you pay with Bitcoin, it is a tax event.

I know many people here have a sentiment that taxation if theft, don't pay, use non KYC only, etc.

I appreciate it. I share it, to an extent.

But, I don't want to need to "hide".

I don't want the stress that years from now they may catch me for not paying capital gains tax on some small transaction where I paid with Bitcoin, which technically means I sold Bitcoin and was supposed to report it and pay tax.

I don't want that.

One option is to use an app like Strike and pay in Bitcoin, via lighting, using the cash balance in Strike, i.e. USD, etc.

This technically means that you buy Bitcoin for dollars and immediately send this Bitcoin to someone. So there is no capital gain.

At least my understanding, that is. Could be wrong.
