But it does seem a bit like Theymos is jumping the gun on this. Advertising ban, I understand. But merely talking about specific mixers is not allowed? What is this, China?
Is it legal on any website to talk not about darknets but about specific vendors? No, right? That's the case. It might be okay to talk about specific mixers but mixer owners will abuse topics, they may bump and post many posts to keep ann thread alive and when bitcointalk is the only website where people actively discuss about mixers, this can become a reason of closing this website down. Theymos tried to allow maximum freedom as long as possible but there was a red line crossed, time to step back and don't cross the line.
Government 1:0 Bitcoin community
theymos what next? Non-KYC casinos and DEX Exchanges getting the hammer soon? Because the government do not have control over them?
If we start giving in to every government request and start opposing Decentralisation and privacy on a Bitcoin forum, everything Satoshi established and ideology would be for naught.
And what do you have to offer? Are you responsible that this forum won't shut down and Theymos won't have legal issues? Are you a guarantor? Go outside, start a riot, let's try!
