But the argument was that we can just ignore tax authorities and laws, but that’s simply not true. Sure, it doesn’t matter rn because most zaps are literally pennies, but if you buy anything significant with untraceable crypto and you’re audited, it’s going to be seized.

It’s even worse because the ledger is completely public. The government, corporations, and literal randos can track every penny you spend.

Let’s let individuals figure that out.

If the guys above don’t think it’s a problem for them, nuff said.

I’m not a legal expert and I can tell you that lightning payments are not on the public ledger.

If you close your lightning channel your tally of send and received are settled up and you have that much Bitcoin on the ledger.

This isn’t foolproof anonymous but again I think we let the adults figure it out with their jurisdiction.

You are free to not set up any lightning integration and accept any sats. You are also free to not do anything with anonymously received money.

Also, if you sent me money “non-anonymously” I don’t know who you are. You’re just a pub key writing data to some servers. Not too much different.
