What's the problem?
Social media + mobile devices
This forum is tedious to use on a smartphone (there's no mobile theme, font size is too small, you have to use landscape mode + zoom). How come nobody has mentioned it? Theymos could fund some devs to improve the forum.
Most cryptocurrency folks prefer to use FB groups for discussion these days... I'm not saying you're going to find quality discussions there. It is what it is.
This forum has been on a decline long before the mixer ban. Same for other fora too.
And even if mixers stayed on bitcointalkthey wouldn't stop the decline, maybe only slowed it down.
I strongly agree with this one. Mixers were only a temporary solution,
at a time when decentralized, self-custodial solutions were non-existent.
Monero has been here since 2014.
I remember back in 2020-2021 I had told you about XMR and its benefits compared to BTC...
Mixers were always meant to be temporary, just like exchanges. Nothing centralized lasts forever. That's why Satoshi created Bitcoin and Monero tries to follow the same cypherpunk philosophy.
