With the FinCen regulatory discussions against mixers, and the hammer coming down on nodeless, I’m wondering if it’s more risky to buy bitcoin from a KYC institution and then coinjoin it, or to simply keep the KYC Bitcoin and use it on lightning network.
In the first case, if coinjoin/payjoin is outlawed, you could be in trouble by having simply used the services to hide your coins.
In the second, you could maybe argue that you weren’t evading regulations. CashApp uses lighting and allows payments to invoices… so that’s a legit end user offering (until it isn’t)
Thoughts?
