View submission: Lightning CEO Elizabeth Stark on Bloomberg, Discussing Lightning Network and the Future of Bitcoin

If I'm not mistaken, channels in the lightning network is what makes things tick. I've also heard that people essentially become payment gateways as transactions make their way across the network. The criticism I read was that this could potentially become a KYC/AML issue in the future.

Do you feel that is a possibility?

Nope, because there is no custody ever involved. It's just like forwarding packets.
