The nocoiner first question is: "can I pay my electricity bill with Bitcoin?" So here I start putting together a list of places where you can pay your bills with Bitcoin.
Seeing Naturgy, I was quite excited and wanted to switch to them. But then realized that payment in BTC means capital gain taxes, and I would be KYCed, not the best combination. Although not sure if it makes sense for the taxman to track it.
- say whether they accept lightning (I don't know who could be so stupid and only accept btc on chain, but there is Co(i)nbase, Binance. SWAN just recently started testing lightning.)
- does it require KYC? It seems Bity.com doesn´t for small amounts (< 1000 CHF/day) , probably true for all Swiss based entities.
