LN is trackable at state level as is bro, its not trackble if you are not at that level. Read how here 👇

But as we see, they will build a different system of custodial/non-custodial wallets that comply with KYC/AML, who dont comply will not be able to inter operate with their system.

This will happen like this. You go to a store to shop something or online, you do the transaction if your funds fail BIS they are blocked and than send to the Bitcoin reserve fund that you all asked for.

This is the way that states figure it out how to steal your bitcoin to put on reserves bro!

Dont you catch it?

I don't exactly think compliant businesses would bother to cross-check your payment against a list of "dirty" coins/origins. instead I would guess that they would take lightning payments through a compliant LSP who is extremely picky about their channel partners. you wouldn't be able to pay for the merchandise in the first place, unless you sent it directly from another compliant LSP. it would operate like a whitelist.

They will use both ways probably

I'm honestly astonished that bitcoin maxis haven't figured out the implications of lightning nodes obviously falling into the category of money transmitter. it's not like we were warning them about that for the past 8 years. businesses have never been allowed to receive payments from non-compliant money transmitters.

bitcoin maxis are champions of the cope. they confused wishful thinking with game theory sometime in 2012-2013 and it only got worse ever since.

we call it the smtpification of lightning.
