I just looked at your trust page to figure out who left what, and I have no clue what you're talking about. Did someone leave a neg for something you said related to the issue at hand, or do you have a persecution complex? I'm genuinely curious.

Og might be thinking that someone excluded him for saying something nasty about mixers, but the reality is that he started attacking people for wearing Chipmixer signatures (like LoyceV and myself and a few others) after he got called out on his own shenanigans.

People tend to see the speck in the other's eye, and in Og's case he sees a lot of problems with mixers but apparently sees no problem with living in Arizona and advertising in his signature an illegal casino in the USA:

Back to the central theme of the thread, it's a bummer, but probably necessary to prevent greater evils, although it leaves the outlook for the future looking very bad indeed. Bitcoin transactions are on their way to becoming more and more like banking transactions, where the authorities know who is sending the money and who is receiving it. It's a thing that will take time if it eventually ends up happening that way, but that's the trend we're on.

I do not believe that will happen.

People will find ingenious solutions (DEX + BTC/XMR swaps).

But yeah, if you want to convert BTC to CBDC, good luck with that, you're pretty much fucked!
