What disappointed me the most is that the EU has become far more hostile to cryptocurrencies than the US.
Their rigidity vs US flexibility was one of the reasons the got the short end of the stick
After the Great Depression.
They are reducing and limiting change and growth for supposed stability.
Regarding eXch and the forum, two weeks ago, admin has asked staff members to stop advertising for that service, and the reason was the quote above.
Well Co-existence between users privacy and Government still has a long way to go.
So they released the Tornado Cash developers, and it's safer to use CoinJoin wallets or advertise mixing services here. However, they will continue to pursue services that exploit/use those services for these dark activities (I believe this misconception is the reason they are pursuing eXch).
This is a Plus if there's no strings attached.
