How do you opt out of the capital gains tax when selling Bitcoin?
Even using a bill (credit card) payment service I'd imagine might catch up one day. Bull Bitcoin in Canada as example I'm sure reports client transactions even if bill payment style.
I'm not huge fan of using robosats style services.

You opt out by not reporting the sale of your asset held for 1+ year on next year's filing, and you do it in a private transaction where KYC does not apply, whatever that means to you.
The private transaction bit though... You then either live off the cash or have a traceable transaction going in to your bank account. Enough of those would raise questions.
I guess cash can work, but only to a point. Recent example, new tires on a truck for $1500. Not very many businesses are going to accept cash for that.
I'm not at a point where I need or want to sell BTC, but for sure someday I will.
