The existing fiat system has tremendous amounts of leverage. Banks keep < 10% of deposits on hand. This amount of leverage is less sustainable the faster money moves around. Bitcoin enables order of magnitude higher speed transfer/settlement. This necessitate deleveraging to maintain stability. This reason (in addition to many others), will continue to make Bitcoin a target. When under pressure, most people cave to establishment to avoid punishment (even undue).
It's important to provide accurate information to people, but most people think Bitcoiners are pure "number go up" gamblers. Most people will never fully understand money, let alone commodity money like Bitcoin.

I see a tendency for Lightning to become increasingly centralized to fewer and fewer well-connected LSPs, essentially replicating existing payment providers (e.g. VISA). This can reduce privacy and make for "fewer doors to knock on" for influence.
Lightning node operation is significantly more complex than a typical Bitcoin core node, and carries a higher risk (uptime, hot funds, watchtowers to catch cheating, etc.). The long term health of Bitcoin depends on relatively high fee cost, complicating Lightning operation further (e.g. channel closures during high feerate environments).
There is hope though, as introduction of PTLCs, anchor aproaches, etc. can help in rease privacy and reduce risk. Still much more of an active endeavor than flipping a coin 256 times and generating an address.

It's at first exciting (freaks on Newsweek), then disappointing. The best thing that we could hope for is that our view of what can happen doesn't happen. We don't want to be predictive, but looks like we might unfortunately might be.

Also, while non-KYC is much better, it's not without risk. Purchasing UTXOs linked to surveilled/criminal activity can be an issue, and coinjoining a non-KYC UXTO presents a similar "red flag risk" as any other CJ.

True, but most purchase with KYC due to convenience, so we do need better post KYC purchase privacy tools. Earlier today, saw some hype for a method to use Lightning as a pseudo coinjoin technique. Interested to learn more.

I'm with you on hoping things stay "from the ground up." Satoshi hornet's nest comment comes through mind. It's a delicate balance. Authoritarian govs can't stop Bitcoin, but they can make it very punishing for citizens to hold it (e.g. EO 6102). I'm optimistic that we can grow organically and slow enough to prevent, attack, but fear the attacks have already started (e.g. Signature).

Great point about naivety. Sometimes when people say "Bitcoin is for money laundering," I love to say, "Only for the ones that want to get caught. It's an open ledger."

Privacy in Bitcoin sometimes seems cumbersome at best, impractical at worst. This is one of the most serious risks to long term adoption in my opinion. In the future, coinjoined UTXOs may be red flagged at exchanges. Unless there's a realistic circular Bitcoin economy, this makes things much more difficult when needing to spend Bitcoin.
That and I think the best chance at adoption is education and making politicians become invested in Bitcoin's success. They won't ban what they are invested in.

It's difficult to see an outcome that prevents dollar devaluation...
Due to fear of bank runs, liquidity flows from small banks to large systemically significant banks (in hopes that the large would be bailed out if needed).
Besides the risk of de-diversification of the banking system (eggs in fewer baskets, more reliance on the risk management practices of fewer banks), it's prudent to consider next order effects.
If the large banks encounter liquidity issues...
Bail outs (or even bail-ins) would likely cause money printing (the money needs come from somewhere), and further devaluation of the very dollar people are hoping that the banks will custody for them (fractionally reserve).
Spreading money over several < $250k accounts might seem like protection, but if many did it in mass, the FDIC insurance would likely be unable to cover all insured deposits (currently about 1%). To backstop the FDIC, the fund would need to increase (either through political intervention, perhaps through more money printing, or through increased contribution from banks, either increasing fees, lowering depositor earned rates, or drastically through bail-in).
Perhaps if there was a form of money with less counterparty risk and debasement risk...

I'm curious of the details (haven't read the budget proposal yet). It does seem inevitable that mining and energy production are on a path to meet. A miner that removes the existing energy producer's profit margin becomes more profitable. A producer that can enhance it's ROI on intermittent renewables would have a competative advantage over non-mining producers.
