Just searched it in SN for merely saying how is it not yet a meme about bitcoiners instead of left activists.
There was a EU project from Germany, probably even from the 1st wave of LN projects. A guy made possible to use LN to pay for EV charge at many different stations.
Well, there is some truth in it.
Even when I meet people who use "multicoin" wallets which may be simply custodial services, I think that Bitcoin properties as p2p protocol and self sovereign tool becomes somehow diluted by the amount of coins that simply can't be run on a client locally.
For me it was always a bit uncomfortable to use browser based wallets. Especially when I need them few times a year when somebody for some reason would reject to pay in BTC. Meanwhile connecting browser wallet and hardware wallet is just very bad in terms of UX. This is why I find using LNURL-Auth very convenient and this is why we have developed vault.satsbridge.com.
El Salvador is bad example as almost any example where government forced something onto people. But it at least better than eNaira.
About the infrastructure, it is a critical thing. See report about blackouts in Ukraine vs capacity of the network.

About the first thesis, it seems adoption of LN correlates with adoption of Bitcoin. You can look at ATMs map and see disparity across the regions.
20% of users (dev's words on hearings) is substantial.
There is a caveat that Dojo wasn't around from day one. So it may be 20% of users at the moment of their arrest.
You are right these are heuristics. However they may be amended with data from other sources.
Wasabi was great to address issues of WabiSabi in multiple versions.
Yes they did a good job about updating it.
Oxt.me was a great too, hopefully someone will make something similar but using BlockSci.
Yes. It was my mistake.
However, the BlocSci tool has a collection of known WabiSabi flaws when it comes to chain analysis. Albeit I am personally do not consider it as flawed protocol unlikely to JoinMarket for which my own analysis indicates that Fidelity bonds are ineffective and there is high likability that the orderbook is full of Sybills.
It is not 100% clear if FEDs could access collected XPUBs of Samourai Wallet users, but it was mentioned on the hearings and developers reported about 20% of users that were using Whirpool coordinators.
No, it has died and more importantly some of its users, probably a majority, could be doxxed at scale.
SolvBTC is one of the small wrapped bitcoin projects. Said wallet is also little known to me.
Overall we did some research on bitcoin tokens,
