I asked MacKenzie Sigalos in Miami about the tension between regulation/compliance panels and the free and permissionless nature of bitcoin

she had to go to an appointment and walked away

The growth of bitcoin from here with Lightning will not be the cypherpunk utopia we were hoping for, it will be chainanalysis all the way down. The Companies are being built to fight VISA, not the State.
