You are mixing good and bad advice here. In the scenario you are describing NEVER use Bitcoin. You must be new to darknet markets. Read the bible. Always use Monero over Tor or i2p. Featherwallet has an Appimage for Tails that can and should be download via its onion or i2p address.

Monero is only a privacy use, since the activists will need funding I do not recommend the use of monero. Read an economics bible. Lightning for the sender has even more privacy than monero, if you don't understand it is not my problem, and for receiving you can even use blinded path which gives you the same privacy when receiving as when sending. And coinjoins are also effective, but you stupid monero fans always have to come to bitcoiners comments to put shit, fuck you.

I come here because your blind belief in Bitcoin is putting friends and allies on the line. And you deserve to be called out for north promoting the easiest andc safest options. Show me the self-hosted LN environment in Tails? You can easily run Haveno and Feather on Tails. Within minutes you are ready to do whatever youvwant with your money. It might be news to you that Monero is much more stable in USD terms than BItcoin, which is a feature for those needing access to their money. BTC is a great investment and hedge against further inflation. But your suggestions here are outright dangerous.

you don't have to listen to this clown. NOBODY on the DNMs is using lightning. the number of DNMs that accept lightning is zero. it's always been zero and it will always be zero. that's not going to change. everyone who knows what they are doing and has something at stake is using monero.

Monero is not only a privacy use, their is actually less xmr than btc, until 2040. The problem with lightning is lightning itself, it’s not the Bitcoin’s network, assuming the transactions goes to LN instead of the Bitcoin’s blockchain, that mean less transactions in block, tx fees need to be high or Bitcoin’s price need to goes up with Halving, at some point the situation is unsustainable, if the price stop to rise, miners will sank, growing the mining centralisation and OFAC compliance further... the fixed supply is leading the network to a huge centralisation which absolutely not good
