just posted from the source at the bottom that even if you’re not involved in crime, you could still get hit if the BTC you hold was once linked to scams, hacks, or mixers.
So, is the users' right to privacy and confidentiality a crime?Interesting concepts are still being imposed on us.
Regulators and exchanges are now tracking harder, coins can get flagged or even frozen.
But there can only be 21 mln. bitcoins. If the regulator and exchangers artificially "exclude" "dirty" bitcoins, then the supply on the market will decrease (the amount that can freely circulate among "clean" platforms). It may also turn out that the number of "dirty" bitcoin will grow (banally, if someone in the user chain uses a mixer) and in the long term will lead to all (most) bitcoin being "dirty" (someone in the chain of users will "get dirty" with the "wrong" wallet). 
BTC is supposed to be free and borderless, but with this kind of tracing it feels like they decide which coins are “clean” and which are not.
All this looks strange when in the "free" BTC-system third-party structures (regulators and exchangers) make their own adjustments by marking btc as "dirty". They are thus already trying to manage and control (partially) the entire BTC-system.So, using unregulated exchanges just adds to the risk since they don’t screen coins properly, so you might end up holding tainted btc without even knowing.
True, the risks remain, because it is impossible to know "what" bitcoin you are buying and even with a clear conscience you can end up with "dirty" btc.so what do you think, just more fud to push people into regulated exchanges, or this is a real problem we need to worry about?
This is a trick to control the BTC-system. In my opinion, all bitcoins are identical and there should be no division into "clean", "dirty" or any other.This is a problem that is being artificially created for us (and impose). And now we all have to "reckon" with the consequences associated with this. This is how the community imperceptibly loses control over bitcoin and the system is centralized. Is this what Satoshi "dreamed" about?
