  @gkucmierz Because contracts can call other contracts, they can be seen as the sender. All transactions need to be traceable to an initiating action i.e, tx.origin.

  Ok thank you. That is how I was thinking about it.
  
  So if I understand correctly tx.origin is the one who is paying gas for all that fun, right?
