Hey guys, I'm slowly getting deeper into BTC privacy and I'd like to ask for honest feedback from experienced users:
Is it still worth using coin mixing services like Whirlpool, JoinMarket or Wasabi in 2025?
I understand the concept of UTXO hygiene, but I'm not sure if these tools still offer real benefits now that exchanges, blockchain analytics, and surveillance techniques are way more advanced.
Do you still use them? Or is it better to just use tools like Samourai + Stonewall + manual labeling?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts. 🙏
Why not? If this could protect you privacy and you don't have any illegal intentions for using this kind of service then you are fine to do it.
But be careful choosing a mixer service since you can see this forum didn't eliminate those type of services to promote their platforms that's why it somehow hard to determine which of them are trusted and which is not.
So better deal with the amount you can afford to let go or do lots of research about what is the best mixer running to avoid getting a problem.
