@2stout. Agreed, it will only be public enemy for a week or a month until the remember it again and create another campaign for it then forget about it again hehehe. Also, very much similar to the darknet marketplaces, how much more has it grown after the famous case of the owner of the Silkroad? I reckon more than 10x since 2013.
nothing stops it as long as people use the marketplace to buy stuff. just like the mixers, it will also be used. the more people will use mixers or the likes of wasabi wallet because of this censorship from CEX.
these CEX don't have options too or they will face legal action from regulators. it could be too much but do you think users caught using mixers by exchanges will be hunted?
