You're missing my main question. I'm not looking to do anything sketchy like private sales or cash deals. I know about non KYC Bitcoin and markets with peer to peer meet ups. Not interested.
If I needed to sell now I'd go through an exchange and report the transaction.
I'm looking for legitimate ways to sell Bitcoin in the future. Maybe a tax loophole. Does anybody run it through a corporation somehow? Friend or family overseas and then back in dollars? 🤷🤷
People avoid tax in fiat world all the time. Surely someone smarter than me has figured out how to do it legally with Bitcoin self custody.
Or not. Maybe one day.

The private transaction bit though... You then either live off the cash or have a traceable transaction going in to your bank account. Enough of those would raise questions.
I guess cash can work, but only to a point. Recent example, new tires on a truck for $1500. Not very many businesses are going to accept cash for that.
I'm not at a point where I need or want to sell BTC, but for sure someday I will.

How do you opt out of the capital gains tax when selling Bitcoin?
Even using a bill (credit card) payment service I'd imagine might catch up one day. Bull Bitcoin in Canada as example I'm sure reports client transactions even if bill payment style.
I'm not huge fan of using robosats style services.

He's referring to Ledger hacks and leaks, due mainly to having so many different chains available on their device... And Trezor moving that direction.

Can you explain for the commoner... How does this happen? Doesn't one side have to close the channel? Is receiving party just closing the channel because they didn't fund it?

Payout minimum is 0.01BTC, which if you're running an S9 at half power would take like 45-50 months. 😂
Maybe with lightning I'll do it... Or with bigger miner. Contemplating replacing more electric heating sources in my house with an S19 or something similar.

Maybe I'll just try it out and see what happens! 😂

Interesting. I heat a bathroom with a modified S9, with Braiins pool.
Braiins dashboard gives me a few options to tune the miner and fan speeds.
I'd imagine that's probably possible with Ocean as well. Yeah?

Cartoon photo very similar to my home! Winter cloud layer keeping the sun away though.

S9 heater has been great so far. These are the settings that keep our large bathroom plenty warm, with no noise louder than the existing space heater we used to have in there.
12-14hrs a day.

I've spent some time in Las Cruces...2011-2013 si it's been a bit. NMSU there. I'm not much of a go to town and enjoy the nightlife kind of person, but I remember some nice restaurants and cafes.
Decent outdoor recreation options.

I want to jump on board with this train of thought, but I still prefer to stay with the 'this is going to take a while' mindset.
I'm ready for a crazy pump with the BTC I have, but my friends and family are not.
Unfortunately I'm still the crazy Bitcoin guy, 4 years on. 🤷

....I guess I could've have zoomed out a bit. Not that out of of the norm really.

Do you have any insight on why Silver, and Gold to an extent, have taken such a hit the last week+?
Bitcoin doing well! 👍

Oh shit! I always thought that thing was for funneling the grounds in, not for actually pressing it!! Hence, I've never used it cause I thought it was pointless. 🤯🤯

Definitely!
I've always opted for the upside down brew method with aero press. Get all your ratios in, stir it, cap it, flip it, press it. ☕

Hoping you might answer this question for me on how chain analysis calculates which coins are old or new on a given wallet.
Ex.
If I have a wallet with 10 BTC that was funded over 5 years with 100's of utxo's. Never more than 1 BTC in one spend from exchange.
Then I send 2 BTC.... How does it pull from that list of utxo's?
Most recent? Leaving the five year old 'coins' to be registered as unmoved?
I realize a hardware wallet most likely has multiple wallets its keys access. Just simplifying the example a bit.
