Very good work nostr:npub15dnln6cukw3yrflnv3hnrntdt9amh0uw466u6tns05ymqp3nal4qzz3lfc. Please accept my #zap and good luck figuring out the cost basis. 🫡

Do not comply with the enemy

The best way to actually fix this would be a simple one page bill, granting de minimis exemption to all bitcoin transactions below $50,000.

Good article. Sounds about right. I doubt a de minimus exception would ever be that high, but having one would certainly make sense and bring Bitcoin a little closer to being treated as legal tender.
