My point is that I can permissionlessly pay you - don't get hung up on the "zap" part - if we both so desired, regardless of KYC laws.

I can't believe you're still wasting time arguing with this clown

Every time you transact with someone on Bitcoin check what public information is available about their coin history. They may not meet your high standards of keeping KYC and non KYC perfectly separated. But that's not merely it. Any future mistake or voluntary KYC interaction will doxx years of hard work. Saw it first hand how people react for the first time if you show them what is publically available for example on Arkham. Chainanalysis companies go far further. They can put a name tag to 95% of all Bitcoin transactions.

You could spin up an npub.cash wallet and add your lightning address. Payments are public, but your sats will be private.
