you asked how the bill pay thing works for me: i get "bank account and routing numbers" from Strike, where i have a bitcoin balance and zero USD. i put that "bank" account number in my credit card, mortgage, car payment, etc. - literally everywhere. so all my USD bills are paid from my bitcoin "checking account" balance in Strike.

importantly, i have an auto-withdraw threshold on Strike where anything above that amount is moved to a (new) address in my cold storage automatically.

so life is like: get paid in bitcoin; "checking account" balance stays in Strike for monthly expenses; excess above that is automatically hodled in cold storage.

it's actually fairly mindblowing...

Was does tax time look like for you. I’m assuming they do all the spreads for you and you can put that into TurboTax or give to your accountant??

I do the same.

we did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at zap@lnbits.vinneycavallo.com, over a period of about 1 hour. six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. however, we did find that only two of the payments produced zap receipts in time for our server to recognize them. this is a problem because the user who zapped you would not see an active ⚡icon after zapping. they might think the zap failed, and therefore might not zap you again.... also fyi... your server at lnbits.vinneycavallo.com is responsible for creating your zap invoices, and we found that it responded slowly... invoice generation took an average of 2698ms (2.7 seconds). we consider this slow... generally, zap invoices should be created in under one second. also.... your average zap time was 14645ms (14.6 seconds). we consider this zap time slow... if possible, zaps should be confirmed in under two seconds. (if time is too slow, other nostr users might think your zaps are broken, might not zap you again.) if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- https://rizful.com ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
