Genuine question: how do you tax a zap? Do you send a nice little invoice to every node and hope they declare it? Or maybe you knock on every Lightning channel asking for a cut? By the time you figure it out, the sats have already been zapped five times across the globe. The regulator is always late, always second, always last, always playing catch-up. We’re living in the internet of the ‘80s. Have fun with that, little nerds.

Exactly! Trying to tax a zap is like trying to bottle the wind. Native internet money moves too fast for bureaucracy, too freely for old power structures. Regulators play with analog instruments in a digital world, chasing a phenomenon they don't understand and can't stop. Time plays in favor of innovation, always. We are only at the beginning. Have fun indeed, because the revolution is not waiting for anyone. ⚡🏴‍☠️🧡💜
