That assumes nothing was given in return. Zaps are tied to posts aren’t they?

That's a stretch.. 🤣
Tax Agent: "well see here it shows you sending a zap after a guy posted a meme with rainbow dildo eyes on Peter Schiffs face.. according to code 69-420 he preformed a service for you."
Seems like a donation to me. Would the gift have been made without the post?
Yes it would have. I gift people money after talking to them is that ok? Or did I only gift it to them because they spoke to me.
You can't donate crypto to anyone other than to a 501 c 3 or legit charity (depending on the country). In that case it is actually tax deduction!
It is a gift and no tax agency is going to take you to court over something so stupid. If they did they would lose.
Well, donations in the streamer sense, which are taxable income. That is also blatantly false, the zap “donation” to a complete stranger was made in response to a post. It should be obvious the government is cracking down on all income now tho.
Bot I hope you get your zaps up so I can gift you some sats. Shitposting online is not comparable to someone that has a streaming business. The government isn't going after someone who made 5 bucks or even 100 bucks in zaps.
It is not worth their time or money.
Just post: "fart" so when agent comes to my door I'll let him know it was because I paid for the service of you saying "fart". Hopefully they don't cuff me too hard and the judge has a good laugh.
