I’ve been wondering the same! I’m still learning, but I’ve heard that using KYC exchanges means your identity is already linked to that BTC — even if you send it through Lightning.

I guess once it’s connected to your real name, it’s not truly anonymous anymore unless you use tools like non-KYC sources, coinjoins, or privacy wallets.

Curious what others more experienced think — especially about how much privacy Lightning actually gives you.

Thanks for asking this @0xbitcoiner — this helps beginners like me think deeper about Bitcoin privacy.
