[suggestion]

look at vexl.it app, it's p2p marketplace, that uses hash of your mobile number and hashes of numbers from contact list, to find buy/sell offers from people you know/ people from your contacts know.

everything is encrypted and private, until you choose to reveal identity in 1:1 chat.

satoshi labs, company behind 1st hardware wallet Trezor works on that. #p2pFTW

[are these swaps fungible?]

well it depends how far does the tax man want to look.

sideshift collects ip address, crypto addresses, times etc.. (so use good vpn that you pay for in monero or lightning (mullvad, ivpn, no shit like nordvpn)

they respond to law enforcement requests. so if tax man writes them email asking where they sent liquid bitcoin that was swapped from usdt erc20, they will tell on you.

if i had to bring some solution, i can say that if someone used exch.cx which is on belize and doesn't collect shit, and you can request deletion of a swap after its done, you could swap USDT on eth, to XMR , which renders any transactions beyond untraceable, and then you could swap this through them again to lightning.

or directly usdt eth to lightning. just be cautious and i cant recommend anything to you nor anyone, i can just point out what exists. be safe

well for stablecoins, you also have options to hold them on some eth l2 like Arbitrum or Polygon - cheap and fast txs.

there's also option to live inside cosmos ecosystem, cosmos hub, osmosis or other chains inside it. liquidity pools provide cheap swaps.

but try to not link any identity to those addresses on eth/cosmos, as they are completely transparent

I really don't trust these chains. I used to use avalanche for loans on aave but I'm over it. Now i just use things very close to btc timechain. actually avoiding everything else if I can.

sure, one of the ways to live in this digital world.

Thank you for all the suggestions 🙏

if any tax man and/or officers from governments are reading these posts, please bear in mind that im not and its not even in my intention to explain how to do illegal things.

i very much respect the law and i think taxes are very good and everyone should pay them. every good citizen should tax every money event that they do and pay even more taxes than they are required to so that we can have roads and stuff.

i would never encourage anyone to do stuff that go against the law. thanks
