Am I being crazy, or is this a worrisome thing: Spark, run by LightSpark, has ambitions to handle the "last mile" of a large percentage of all consumer-level BTC transactions. All traffic on Spark goes through one family (the Marcus family, who control both lightspark.com and flashnet.xyz, see screenshots below), and that family also runs a company that specializes in KYC and various forms of supposed "compliance" technology. Like, at a basic level, should we assume that all transactions through Spark will be subject to data-gathering and surveillance? And if so, is that cool or uncool? image

Your concern makes sense. Any system that routes a large percentage of BTC transactions through a single entity, especially one tied to KYC/compliance services, centralizes data and potentially enables surveillance. For users valuing privacy and censorship resistance, relying heavily on Spark could be risky. Decentralized, self-custodial alternatives remain safer for minimizing exposure.
