Btw what makes mixers illegal if i may ask, them promoting anonymity and privacy or because owners dont put a face to their businesses ??
Doesnt bitcoin fall in this category too as its illegal in some counties...
And where does this leave coins such as Monero ?
Bitcoin pseudonymous, not anonymous and it's not really private because any address, balance and transactions you can view on Bitcoin explorer.
Some countries just don't want to get involved with Bitcoin and choose to ban it, even though they have a way to expose criminal if the criminal ever submitted KYC or not learn about privacy.
That's why many centralized exchange ban Monero, although some centralized exchanges still accept it, maybe they will ask your KYC before you can withdraw your money.
