the simple answer is miners have better lobbyists then hosted wallet providers
2013 was the nail in the coffin for bitcoin as a currency in the US
your favorite hosted Lightning will either have to ask for KYC and comply with tax software requirements or will be pulled from the App Store
your open source software for a self-hosted wallet that does not have tax assistance will be blocked from US on GitHub

Hasn’t “code is 1A protected “ already been established by the Supreme Court?
Especially if regs come after code was already on GitHub.
That seems tough. But the justice system is not like it was even 3 years ago.

There's way around... First of all, drop them Apple banksters, secondly get a de-googled android or graphene... open source mobile OS are coming anyways. I wouldn't be so pessimistic...
there’s still the tax liability
Ok, here's my question though, I split a little money off into a wasabi wallet set to 50x privacy and run that into WoS with a proton email/VPN that I also pay for with conjoined bitcoin. Don't get me wrong, I'm going for a self custodial lightning node once I'm done with a few things, but aside from that, how would any of that apply to me, if at all?
Oh, and I use graphene OS
are you planning to spend any of that?
Yes, but only in places that don't require KYC
the spending is the tax liability
it’s not cat and mouse, not catch me if you can
They don't know if I've spent it though, right? My transactions have been mixed and mixed to the point they can't prove I don't still hold it, its still legal to mix.
you’re saying if you pay your barber or tip your server in cash, they revenue department won’t know if they don’t report it as income
that’s correct, but that’s also harder to scale
Yes, that is an assumption I should include when asking these questions. It is harder to scale, I also know my stylist doesn't report her tips anyways, but right now she uses venmo so by all rights this seems better.
Fuck any and all "tax liabilities". #Bitcoin is #unconfiscatable and hence by definition is going to literally starve the governments to death. Period. The fact that you're reminding me of a tax liability just shows that you're nothing but a fucking piece of shit statist bootlicker. Fuck off!
The simple answer to what question ? 😆 also what document are you referencing here some sauce might be handi 🌻
The entire point of this bitcoin project is non-compliance. Full embracement was never an expectation.
when tax cheat t-shirts with founding fathers on them
"The only reason the banks have now gotten to the point of thinking about "permissioned ledgers" is because they have finally reached the stage of "bargaining"-- the third stage in the five stages of grief for the industry they're about to lose."
Bitcoin is the swarm of sewer rats.
