What do you think the merchants that receive funds from you marked to be from a mixer and possibly even from criminal activity think?
I think that we either treat each coin equally or this whole concept falls apart. Every coin is potentially originating from criminal activity. Merchants cannot expect from their customers to hire a (provably inaccurate) blockchain analysis firm to tell them if their coins are "clean".
If all transactions are private, then we're all accepting the same consequences and fighting for privacy.
So? Does that mean that until all transactions are private on a protocol level, everyone's forced to use bitcoin with ridiculous levels of privacy? Lol. As I said, I'll never understand your perspective.
Why are you forced to use Bitcoin with ridiculous levels of privacy? Nobody forces me to do anything… Not every transaction has to be private and there are other coins that do provide privacy without you having to launder money. If you want financial privacy right now without jumping through hoops, Bitcoin is not the right coin for you. If you want it to provide privacy without jumping through hoops or facilitating illegal behavior like money laundering, that needs to be done at the protocol level. I don’t make the laws. Your perspective is that of fantasy.
I noticed you didn’t answer my question about what you are doing to vendors and how you think they feel about it.
