But they have a very strong argument for that. They'll tell you that people launder money, buy and sell illegal things and because of the mixers or anonymous cryptocurrencies, the crime rate is going up and there is not much that the government do besides controlling people more. This argument is solid enough to convince the majority of people who just want a normal, average life and nothing more.

People who don’t desire anything beyond a normal, ordinary life, in my opinion, don’t even think about things like cryptocurrency mixers. They simply aren’t the target audience. So even if they hear some of the “arguments” against mixers, they don’t pay much attention to them. Such anti-mixer—and more broadly, anti-cryptocurrency—propaganda isn’t narrowly targeted to create a negative perception specifically of mixers. It’s designed to establish a general negative view of the entire crypto space. Today, someone hears about the dangers of mixers, tomorrow they hear about someone’s Bitcoin wallet getting hacked, and the day after that, they’ll steer clear of the crypto world altogether.

Every message is meant for an average user because the number of average user is the highest. I don't get scared by someone's Bitcoin wallet getting hacked or coins going through a mixer but you have to keep in mind an average user. Average user likes service that forgives them mistakes, they like PayPal because they can claim a refund if something goes wrong, if they accidentally pay money to someone. They like bank because they can call to bank and reset their login and password credentials if something goes wrong and they can regain access to their account. Bitcoin is too much of a responsibility for an average user.
