..but as long as we do such fair business without illegal activities such as money laundering, then it should be fine.
Mixers don't promote illegal activities. They promote privacy. Nothing wrong with that!
It can't be avoided that's why you can't blamed authorities if they found mixing service as illegal. Mixing coins is considered as great tool for those institutions who wants to do illegal activities. It can't also be regulated since it's hard to track for a mixing company that the coins involved are being used to illegal activities.
Want to see Chipmixer's stand for their long term goals as this statement of Bitmixer really stick to my mind;
"I hope our competitors will hear our message and will close their services too."the reason their closing their services because of Btc-e and Alexander Vinnik,
they use Bitmixer service to send most of their stolen Btc,and because of that they can track how much and who's the sender
(maybe ?)
found it in
HEREwell no matter what is true,the problem seems like in global goverment.
they're trying to track every 'big' transaction and they want to implement the 'taxes' system
Fud.
There is no evidence of direct correlation between the address of Vinnick as belonging to BTC-e. There is also no direct evidence that a mixer was used to "launder" coins. All the articles are speculative, and to state this as the reason why bitmixer shut down is just irresponsible; it also contributes to unnecessary fud.
Like chipmixer said, because I want to encrypt my Bitcoin and my transactions doesn't make me a criminal. In fact, in my history of using Bitcoin, I've used several mixers, but never to contribute to anything illegal.
I will say this, though: for bitmixer to shut down, allegedly because of morality issues, seems fishy and ridiculous. There probably is something else that persuaded them to shut down, in my opinion, but kudos to chipmixer for undoubtedly positioning themselves at the right position of that announcement lol
