.Govs Now Want to Come After the BTC Mixers

[U2]

...

A global conference in Qatar (there's some irony) on "misuse" of digital currencies is looking to shut down the BTC mixers:

The BTC mixers are an important part of financial privacy IMO.



(You see, it's always about the terrorists and criminals...)

It was pretty obvious that because the world spends billions and billions on anti money laundering anti terrorism anti whatever that they would want to shut down the most obvious bitcoin mixer which the only use is to launder your money.

The government will be seeing it about the criminals or terrorist tools. 
Nothing is good for the government about the unregulated things.

This is true. I just wish they'd finally step in and ban fiat (dollar bills). I've seen people buy things with it in the past (passing cash from one to another) so it needs to be banned IMMEDIATELY.

Yes and it is mean bitcoin is not good too because of unregulated
so I think there are not good for government about bitcoin and related it
especially bitcoin mixing service,
 if everything are bad i think digital coins is not suitable for government although blockchain technology is not suitable for government too.

I doubt that they can make all bitcoin mixers disappear. Maybe on clearnet. But on deepweb, thats a different story. But this is serious problem. Terrorist can make bitcoin their bridge to funds their arsenals to use against us. I dont think it can be stopped. The only way is to ban bitcoin.

"Terrorists and Criminals"

The always-convenient excuse by the governments to clamp down on our freedoms.  Look here for what the European Commission is proposing re cash there in Europe:

Yep, terrorism is just an excuse for their idea...  TAXATION and SOCIETAL CONTROL are the real reasons.  Plan accordingly.

Only priority for governments is indeed that people pay their tax, plus that they know what level of wealth you have. All other things are just sloppy excuses.

It's well know that the far majority of the Bitcoiners aren't willing to declare their holdings to their local tax agencies, and rightfully so. But the results are more severe sanctions in the coming years.

If we don't bring the money we "owe" the governments to them, then they will come and get it by force. Every potential Bitcoin related services will be subject to this barbaric practice where they just look to nurse their hunger for control.

So yes, mixers are a crucial part of achieving freedom. And exactly that is what governments don't want you to have. They just want everything to happen within their system so we can continue being a slave of the governments.

That is true, for a long time bitcoin has been related to deep web since drug dealers and hackers use it to accomplish their businesses without being tracked down, but if you look closely you see that fiat is also being used for these things and nobody is taking about it, everything has its bad and positive thing it just depends on the person that is using it and the reason he is using it for.

Honestly they won't! Their issue with Bitcoin goes beyond their claim it is used for illegal activities. They are simply afraid, Bitcoin if allowed to flourish, would spell doom to fiat currencies and that happens to be the main source of their controlling power, albeit enslaving people. They simply cannot Bitcoin, therefore it must be criminals that uses it

Shut down? How? Mixers can make new deposit addresses every week and they'd have to keep track of them. I could be mixing coins in casinos for people and I wouldn't need my own server room or registered domain to do it.
