I care about buying groceries with bitcoin. Government can and and should ask questions if large unexplained sums appear. That does not mean that we should be ok with every transaction beein de-anonymized.
There is still a value in moving away from the current system where all interactions with digital money is through companies with KYC requirements.
My fear is that we just recreate the current system but with lightning as a settlement layer. We should aim to win back more freedoms than that.
