Theymos reputation thread

[Vod]

Theymos has always been a stand-up guy in terms of freedom of speech and freedom in general

Everyone keeps writing that, but it's far from the truth.  r/bitcoin, which Theymos also runs, is heavily censored. 

Theymos doesn't get involved with issues here, as he pays someone else to steal.

OP, you're intentionally living out your moniker – Shenanigan 🤔. That's truly what you're proving by attempting to drag theymos on an issue he already explained the new modalities to ending future repetition of the same hiccup. Anyway, be rest assured that theymos won't respond here. I will be shocked to the marrows if he does. Theymos takes his time before responding to very critical issues. We can't say what you've here is critical. For me, it's trivial.

He himself is a nobody.

Every nobody is a somebody and every somebody is a nobody. As paradoxical as that comment is, there's a line of truth lying therein. Examples of truth as painted in the latter abound in morgues.

Casinos cannot be banned. Yea, this is because gambling has been in existence before this forum and bitcoin was created. But in the other hand, there is a mixer because there is Bitcoin.

I believe he meant gambling casinos advertising on the forum. No one could have predicted the events that have happened in the last couple of months. To be clear, signature campaigns can be banned altogether, that includes casinos, and other platforms advertising here. The forum doesn’t have control over what happens outside the bitcointalk community, if certain services are banned here, they can run their business and promotions elsewhere.

Yea, I understood the Op and yourself inclusive. Theymos has the right to stop any project from promoting here including casinos, or in the worse scenario ban signature campaign totally. But then, I believe very much that theymos will not ban casino because;

• Casinos are highly regulated and licensed unlike mixers
• Casinos are not notorious bad players like mixers. The reason they are prohibited from promoting in some places is just ethics and believes
• Finally, before theymos banned mixers, there was a sign (when he instructed the staff members not to promote mixers). As of casinos, there's no such sign yet.

theymos decision to ban mixers was forced due to numerous investigations and the seizure of mixers by the authorities, and all this is to protect the forum. As both he and the forum are under US jurisdiction, if the US bans crypto casinos, it will be reflected on this forum as well. Looking at what is happening, it is not an impossible scenario at all.

Gambling is already quite dominant on this forum and such a trend continues because it seems that this industry has best adapted and implemented crypto-currencies. Certainly, I can't shake the impression that gambling and all discussions about it maintain the "popularity" of this forum to a considerable extent.

Do I understand correctly that the reputation of forum participants is being discussed here?



As we all already know, theymos banned mixers. In this regard, users have accumulated many questions, but the theymos does not respond to them

Op Can't you see the mixer campaigns are just corrupt. So Theymos is a forum admin so whatever he decides is best  Because he will consider everything and then take a decision.

I understand too well that the actions of theymos is geared towards protecting the forum as he has said so many times about the forum domain being hosted in US and as well the activities of this forum is subjected to the decisions of the US government. I knew that a day like this will come when chipmixer website was seized and its activities were highly linked to the forum for advertisement. The negative activities of any mixer directly impacts the US government in the case of money laundering, sales and purchases of arms and more. But the activities of casinos doesn't impact the government much as the common negative effect is gambling addiction which is somehow personal to the citizens.

Gambling industry is that one industry that embraced cryptocurrency wholeheartedly by making cryptocurrency as a means of payment and means of gambling. This did not make gambling more popular but also increased the adoption of cryptocurrency. It will be difficult to ruin the relationship between casinos and cryptocurrency.
