certain few people (theres about a dozen main instigators) pretend they are the whole community. and they only listen to their own like minded mindsets that confirmation bias each other to pat each other on the back, and kiss each others ass when they repeat the same mantra their buddies have said.
You pretend the whole community of privacy advocates are all criminals and malicious people, so there is that. Although you have been told a gazillion times that there are people like me who just do not want their personal information collected, stolen or analyzed and do not want their expenses to be traced for privacy reasons, you keep repeating the same B S.
they know less than 1% use subnetworks like LN and mixers. they know that this small swamp pool of users are just stirring value amongst themselves, shuffling the same value between each other.. and they know that it not helping them look clean if only dirty people are jumping into the swamp. so they are desperate to lie, deceive and exaggerate some weird fantasy utopian dream about their service/subnet. and then they also try endlessly to call out bitcoin as the nightmare, just so they can scare people into jumping into their swamp
You will have a point when you will prove for real that Lightning Network and Mixers are mainly used for malicious activity. Until then, your words are pure thoughts and speculation. I know for a fact that my use of such services and networks are for clean activity and I am convinced that way less Mixer users are as malicious as you think. But hey, to you it is completely normal for you to force no privacy on me and it is completely nonsense if I try to just exist as a privacy advocate. How does that sound to you? Fair?
Tell me how many of your Fiat bills are 'clean'. Then tell me why you are still using them if they might in fact be bills that have been used for crime before. Why are you not abandoning the bills if my 'dirty' bill could end up an year from now in your pocket and your 'clean' bill might end up in mine, which is exactly what you say about 'stirring value amongst themselves'. Then talk about how bad Mixers are again?
governments dont want to take over bitcoin. they love their fiat and they are making their own CBDC. what they dont want is people escaping their fiat to avoid paying taxes or buying stuff that can hurt their citizens. (logic/reality)
Because our Government loves us and cares so much about us. And they definitely want the best for us, this is why laws are mostly for us and not for them, this is why corporations and the wealthy have so many advantages over us, this is why rules change when the wealthy put pressure on the change. Because the Government cares about me and definitely does not want me to get hurt by o_e_l_e_o's acquirement of an Amazon Gift Card or honey with Bitcoin. Because at every corner of the street there is someone who is selling drugs for Monero and Chip Mixer chips and everywhere you look on the internet you can find rockets, bombs and weapons for Bitcoin. And because it must be so much easier for me to purchase a weapon with Monero through the Internet without getting tracked down and found than it is for me to purchase a weapon with cash from a physical black market dealer.
But yes, the problem is me, o_e_l_e_o and all the other privacy supporters here because we are hurting citizens. Hey, o_e_l_e_o, do not forget to send me that address to stir up some more Bitcoin in the pot of dirt! Need to buy some alcohol for my 10 year old son's birthday party and thanks to Monero and Chip Mixer I can finally buy it for him without anyone knowing. Only if I could purchase it from the store 'for myself' and hand it out to him, that would make things so much easier..
Franky, you are exactly the reason the government's tactic works. You took their bait and are now drooling for the next one.
