 I haven't read the book. Is living on the bitcoin standard imply paying taxes?

 If you're referring to The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous, it doesn't talk about how to live on a bitcoin standard. It focuses on monetary history and basically why bitcoin is the better money. Anyways, tax is theft.

 I see. I just don't see how one could acrue a years worth of transactions over lightning, with no tax software capable of calculating your capital gains correctly, feasable to pull off. That's a lot of manual data entry that only an accountant could pull off, and wouldn't have time for.

 You could live in a country with an incompetent government or one that doesn't tax bitcoin.
