i do not accept zaps, although thank you for the thought. Transmitting Bitcoin can be considered a violation of AML laws and people have gone to prison for p2p bitcoin transactions. Would they come after me for a 25 satoshi zap? Probably not, but why take a chance for 25 satoshis? I love the fact that people are using Bitcoin for micropayments on social media, it's great and I hope it continues. But you won't see me doing it.

I would only transact in Bitcoin in an emergency.

Fair enough - So you say that ZAPS are considered a violation of AML laws? Could you explain the difference between that and a gift on YT or sending an OF girl money? (Disclaimer I am using it as an example)

There is no difference.

Very informative..

Stupid question then.. p2p - is that illegal?

if you get prosecuted and convicted of operating without a money transmitter's license, then yes it is. Ask Theresa Lynn Tetley about it.

Interesting read, so assuming the rules don’t change - how do we get around this as a circular economy/community?

you just do it anyway and take your chances. They can't put all of us in prison.
