Some clarification is needed to this board due to the recent incident with ChipMixer.

To all advocates of anti-anonymous Bitcoin and Internet tools: Bitcoin mixing is NOT money laundering, per se.

snip

P.S.: You can't have privacy without money laundering due to the nature of humans-- by the way, the opposite does not necessarily hold true.

the government that banned bitcoin Tumblr said that mixing was a place for money laundering but they did not explain in detail the difference between money laundering and the use of mixing itself causing ambiguity in society. before there was bitcoin, officials and criminals used houses, land, gold and valuables like cars to launder money but when bitcoin appeared, some used bitcoin as a money laundering option but they thought bitcoin was just like any other untraceable, that was a big mistake, actually people who do money laundering with bitcoins are very easy to trace. So it's actually important that the advertisement explaining the true function and purpose of mixing is reported so that confusion in the community about what mixing is doesn't spread.

mixing has one function.. to mix. its not a retailer. its not a forex its not a fruit stall. its sole purpose is to launder.
regulations are clear that they MAKE regulated businesses monitor and scrutinise mixer users closely.

emphasis again
mixing is wrote into regulations to be watched more closely(les privacy)

once more.. for luck
MIXING puts you on a watch list.

so the solution to privacy is not .. wait for it.. take a minute to breath and let this settle in..
so the solution to privacy is not services advertised specifically as mixing

lets word it another way

imagine prostitution was being watched by the police.
would you name a business "prostitution house" or try something new like 'massage parlour' or 'escort service'
you know. just to make it a lil different and ambiguous to not be an instant knock at the door inspection of the premises
