I’m in temporary accommodation for a few weeks, away from much of my work environment. In a moment of weakness BBC’s “Celebrity Race Across The World” caught my attention… Starting location: Isla Mujeres Second destination: El Zonte Hidden #Bitcoin messages from Auntie Beeb? Who’da thunk it?

Scenario: I use #Strike to buy a coffee at a #Square terminal showing a #Bitcoin #Lightning QR code from my fiat reserves and the merchant elects to receive 100% in fiat. Question: Is either party responsible for #BTC acquisition/disposal and the tax implications involved?

My thought from the shower: what are governments for?
