Great idea for SkepticismSunday, lots of possibilities for topics to flesh out! Some I have off the top of my head :
1: is John-q-public, aka Joe the Plumber, technically capable of being onboarded to use Bitcoin beyond just buying/holding on an exchange, but as a transactional medium?
2. What are the negative implications to AML/KYC? Is it just FUD, or will big brother be coming to claw back my sats?
3. Are mixing services actually providing privacy, or just the perception of privacy?
4. Is lightning sufficiently private for a receiver, or just a sender, or neither?
5. Is the government trying to completely cut off all exchanges from banking with operation chokepoint 2.0? Or are they just limiting (picking) which banks and which exchanges will continue on (Strong KYC / AML compliance required).
