So, during the Canadian truckers protests, if they had used lightning or cashu, I'm assuming that would've been harder to chokepoint, compared to onchain?

It looks like they were able to still transact onchain but when they tried to convert to fiat on an exchange the authorities were able to restrict it.

First lesson there is don't convert it but I guess they had shit to buy

Yes it sounds like it would have worked much better. I just installed the nostr:nprofile1qqsr70lh4keezkwy9s92zm2ncpyrh7l6647ly257n6fkfgcxws0t9ncppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp07y0hqq mobile wallet, sent some on chain sata to it, and paid for some mullvad time. Would be great to know what kind of exposure this implies. If the money is eventually converted to fiat, then the bank account could obv be frozen, but if the recipient takes lightning or liquid then it would be pretty bulletproof. Does the hop thru liquid and lightning obfuscate things enough that it could be sent to a bank account or cc pmt that would be hard to whack-a-mole?

yeah I'm not 100% but I imagine the use of mints, although not self custodial would be more private
