Be careful on using a mixer then sending coins to a centralized exchange or a gambling site where you have KYC.
Wrong message.
What we should be saying is "Be careful using centralized exchanges", or better yet "Never complete KYC anywhere." Mixing is not the problem. Coinjoins are not the problem. If anything, knowing how draconian the government is being with trying to surveil you and your coins, you should be mixing and coinjoining
more, not less. Stay private, and stop using services which sell out your privacy at the drop of a hat and work in cahoots with your government to surveil, monitor, and control you.
You are either free, or you comply. You can't be both.
But mixers also create avenues for bad actors, 100% of the people who use mixers can't be using them for good.
So does the internet. Shall we ban that too?
As the figures I've outlined above show, even by FinCEN's own research, the amount of illicit money being moved through mixers is absolutely minuscule. Like, we are talking less than in the last decade than fiat banks launder in a few days.
