Boosts

From: @meremortalspodcast

Through the podcast and I've recently got the opportunity to convert from lightning to onchain. 2 questions. How traceable are these sats from lightning (considering they come via a very identifiable Alby wallet)? And do you know many stories of people having non-KYC BTC who actually needed them? I know theoretically why non-KYC is important, but I'll be more persuaded with real life examples of where they were vital for economic freedom.
