[...] You can tell these people don't give a shit about how their activities negatively effect the community or Bitcoin, so long as they get some easy money. [...]
That's not really fair, I think. I'm pretty sure you're oversimplifying other people's positions and ignoring some of the ideology behind being in favor of mixers.
For me, being
for fungibility necessarily means being
for mixers. "Taint" is an idea that needs to be stopped before it takes root too deeply, and mixing is the only way I know of to frustrate attempts at creating UTXO blacklists.
Either you let criminals get away with stolen funds (which I agree is not ideal), or you impose a vast draconian infrastructure on
everyone (which decimates any semblance of financial freedom). I know which side I choose.
It doesn't have to be that way. You don't have to either promote money laundering or force everyone to operate in a vast draconian infrastructure. That's ridiculous. There is also a third option. Don't promote money laundering. The fact that so many users are willing to openly promote money laundering for a couple hundred bucks a week while trying to maintain some level or authority over other users here is being a hypocrite on a level you can only describe as being a sellout. Now I see people are personally attacking me and going after my signature sponsor? I wonder why... This is what they do. Try to villainize anyone who shines a light on their bad behavior. Stake is perfectly legal though, operating sites for use in many countries including my own. There is nothing illegal about it and while more and more laws are being passed to support online gambling being legal in more and more states/countries (including my own), you'll find these same places moving forward with regulation against money laundering "mixers" and the like. I don't expect any apologies when mixers do become illegal and aren't allowed to run signature campaigns here anymore, but remember those who were supporting organizations that launder funds for members who defraud others here. Similar to those who supported extortion attempts (shocker, they're mostly the same individuals).
Looks like OgNasty is right once again!
You mean the members who support money laundering and extortionists might not be good people? Absolutely shocking.
