now that Trump is taking over as the first crypto president today and the SEC chairman is out of the picture don't you think allowing mixers back on the forum is not a bad idea now?
I think you might have missed the aspect of it from what had already been talked about still on same mixers issue, the forum and the Trump administration under the thread second chance for mixers, but i will like to quote the reply from what theymos has already replied concerning that below, which i think should be the final answer to your question on this aspect.
For the mixer policy to be reversed, the legal environment would have to improve a lot. I think that one of these would have to happen:
- Some mixers win their court cases.
- Congress passes laws which explicitly protect mixers.
- The administration ends up being extremely pro-privacy, better than 99% of politicians in office.
It'll take at least a year before we have a good idea of what the new administration will really be like, but my expectation is that they will only be ~10% better than the Biden administration in this area. I would be surprised if they dropped the case against the Tornado Cash devs, for example.
The Trump administration could be a lot better than I expect, but they could also be a lot worse.
