 You’re not wrong, but sometimes I feel we do need to play dirty a bit, but only with them. They’ve been doin us dirty for far too long now and they know it, and they know we know it. 

I mean if they’ve set the limit for $10k, really you could just invoice the client for $9,999.00. I’d sacrifice $1…

If the kitchen was $30k, I would do 3 separate bitcoin transactions to avoid the reporting. 
I basically do that now with fiat. We collect a deposit (for materials) when the client accepts our quote, then another deposit upon beginning the job and then final payment once the job is complete.

I hate playing dirty games, but I certainly don’t mind playing with those scum bags. Do I like stooping to their level? No, but I feel they leave us no choice sometimes.

#bitcoin is going to win regardless, they know they can’t stop it so all they can do is try to make it harder for us.
