 We are already seeing the emergence with LSP's (Which are needed). What's going to matter is how open the network remains and allowing entrants without barriers other than sats and infrastructure. Those clamoring for a level of regulation/oversight are missing the point.  
 Sadly I do think we will see many exchanges send only to whitelisted nodes, ie other exchanges, and likely blacklist fedimints and the like 
 Can we have anonymized fiat rails? Robosats/Bisq are options but I am not sure what the level of use is (a lot less than major exchanges). Moving forward though my thinking is that when the fiat system collapses those rails will be less needed and exchanges can go piss up a rope. 
 Stablecoins on lightning probably best we can do on this front, but still needs some fiat backer, no idea

Hopefully just sats the standard in the long run 🙏🫡
