Disagree - Lightning helps privacy but it does not eradicate KYC.

Its not always black and white. Its fine for many people to just buy a few sats from a KYC custodial to get going and experience the technology. Afterwards you can take more privacy focused routes.
That’s why I said the below. And of course newbies will need time to try things out. But I deeply appreciated the guides I’ve had, and I have wished for guides where I didn’t have any.
“y opinion (and some may disagree) is that it’s perfectly fine to hold and use either/both kyc and non-kyc Bitcoin, *AS LONG AS* you always keep both stacks completely separate. Because as soon as you mix your KYC-free coins with KYC’d coins, then your identity gets linked to all of them.”
Or...just keep wallet hopping.
