Any US CPAs on here that I can schedule a call with about BTC

Um I don't. Folks remember that 5% of the tax code is what you have to do, 95% is how to get out of doing it. If you are paying this much in taxes you are focused on the wrong part of the tax code.

I have one open channel, enough inbound and outbound capacity. But still this payment fails…. What could be the problem here? nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5

What good is the permissionless aspect of on-chain if you never use it or don't use it as currency? The properties of on-chain transactions have nothing to do with your LSP transactions

No need to be upset with me. I'm just a messenger helping you work out your cognitive dissonance.

Starshield will enable the US government to spy on anyone on earth!

I watched the video. Bitcoin is non-fungible - but does that include lightning? I thought that lightning is off-chain on another network.

Don't want to fund wars?

Use Monero.

I am literally outlining a specific risk to MSTR because Saylor is a single point of failure.

I am looking for people to defend MSTR not attack it. I am *doing the attacking* (despite owning some), or actually *because* I own some, I want to understand why more people don’t acknowledge this risk.

I don’t need a 101 course on counterparty risk. I am trying to understand why people are minimizing the risk for this particular counterparty.

No shit. Who is referring to MSTR as bitcoin?

You do not need to sell it. Just use a utxo to buy a soda in El Salvador and after 10 transactions someone uses it to commit a crime. They go back in the transactions and your name is the only one that comes up because you used a KYC exchange to buy #btc... Next thing you know you are in a cell somewhere. Possible scenario?

The entire point of the post is to highlight what I see as a

risk, even *if* Saylor is 100 percent solid. And I say *if* because no matter how much I like the guy, that is also a risk.

So I’m not sure what you’re adding to this discussion by lecturing me about the risks which from the post you can see I have obviously considered.

But wouldn't this affect very negatively the whole community, not only normies? The only "safe" way to "have" #btc would be via an #etf, since your name\ip\whatever is never linked to a specific #utxo that is going to be used in the future in some illegal stuff, no? I find it scary that the initial idea I put forward could be used by the government so every bitcoiner just gives up in fear of incarceration for a crime someone else commited. I feel this is one of the biggest risks in bitcoin. Don't you? Why?

I'm cool with some IOUs, mostly in IRA accounts.

What part of my post gave you the impression I don’t understand that?
