I just read the post by the admin stating that mixers will be banned on the forum from January 1. Considering that mixers and casinos seem to be the biggest advertisers here, I foresee a drop in revenue for the forum. The way I see it, it implies that the government is still in charge of the direction Bitcoin moves. If they cannot control Bitcoin, they can move against the appurtenances of the cryptocurrency: mixers, exchanges, who knows... even this forum, etc. With the popularity of the USD dwindling, who knows what else could happen to Bitcoin, the challenger? What do you think?
They are just not allowed but the users will still be here. The mixers will be moving on to other forums as we have seen recently they have already started on Altcoinstalks. There could be division but I think the goal of BTC will still be the same and adoption is taking place, the bargain I think is the ETF approval.
