You can self custody Lightning. Granted you go through the learning curve and channel fees eating your stack...

Not so much Liquid. Lol. It's essentially another shitcoin, by blockstream imo.

This goes all the way back to when WoS said "Fuck off" to US KYC and removed theor app from the stores. Remember that?

Everyone here on nostr ran to other shit, literal shit, because "oh no the gov will come after me if I don't use KYC strike for my zaps now..."

🤣

I think alot of these folks here "steering the vibe" on nostr are government plants that are collecting data for the government on bitcoiners so their own "bitcoin business", can stay afloat.

If you run a business or company, YOU WILL COMPLY to keep feeding your family.
