Ya, I’ve been trying to flag this for people. Any one of these sellers on Robosats could be a person just gathering data on everyone who is buying “KYC” free sats and just aggregating that shit for some purpose later. If I was a fed (I swear Im not), you could id hundreds of people every month and just file that shit away for later.

Yes they "could" be, but with KYC they are for sure. Robosats is better than full KYC

The surveillance risk is real, but I'd argue the bigger threat is centralized exchanges leaking full transaction graphs. P2P platforms like Robosats at least force adversaries to work per-trade. Reminds me of how Iranian protesters used Bitcoin to circumvent financial surveillance—decentralized tools create friction for regimes.
