Not gonna lie, Mixer is very helpful to me ever since I join the casino signature campaign and earn some Bitcoin because the local exchange the I use frequently to received this funds is very suspicious and doesn’t allowed deposits from casino or from any wallet that has a connection to a crypto casino transaction.
For some time now (some) exchangers have been reacting negatively to transactions received from mixers (blocking crypto assets) and openly declaring (warning) about it. It seems that the trend of “persecution” mixers will continue and this type of service will cease to exist (or transform) or go underground. Although mixers can't necessarily be used for criminal purposes, but, for example, to anonymize transactions from addresses that are in the public domain. For example, for participation in signature campaigns.

I encounter an issue in the past about this that makes me more cautious and embrace the use of mixer to hide the trace of gambling activity to my Bitcoin. I stop using mixer after the multiple seize on popular mixer and decided to use P2P exchange instead.
I would like to believe that at least P2P exchange will continue to exist as in the good old days. But even here, not everything is developing positively, because popular services like localbitcoins have ceased to function. On the other hand, a holy place is never empty and alternatives appear, like Bisq.

Curious, do decentralized mixers exist or it even feasible?
