What do you have to say about this

[Nwada001]

Some will say why is this post necessary, it's for those who thinks that mixers are only for people who want privacy in their lives, but this just prove to me that criminals are possibly using mixers more than those who just want to stay private.

You should not be surprised about this, and there is no way a service will be created that only those who mean well will be using; it's for privacy purposes, so they also need privacy, but another thing is mixing coins is not the only thing criminals do to hide. Even if the person who was caught mixed the stolen coin, there could still be mistakes made that will lead to him getting caught. Coins that are from a mixer, most of the service question and reject it.

The numbers of criminals that have understood the possibilities of evading capture through the help of mixers is alarming, I don't know about your country, this is about mine.

Few days back a guy was arrested and all of his properties were seized, he scammed a foreigner (woman) in romance scam using a popular figure in my country, he cashed out using Bitcoin and he was traced easily, caught and sentenced.

Few amounts was recovered while his seized properties are on sale to refund the women, what is shocking to me was what people said on tiktok, and almost all of them are from my country since they are using dialect signals and some had their flag up there.

Why the hell will you transaction the bitcoin without using mixer they said, I mean the whole comment section was full with this same blame that mixers is the way to scam and escape without getting caught.

This is one of the problem the government has against bitcoin and the entire crypto. They feel like due to its decentralized nature scammers are taking advantage of it to get away with their crime. But just as most persons have already said we don't expect every innovation to be completely free from negative sides and when the positive impact is more than the negative i think that would mean the idea is good one, so irrespective of the damages these bad people use bitcoin and crypto to manipulate there are still good aspects that are worth the time and effort.

You have answered this question yourself, I would like to add something to what you said because the Mixer platform was created to protect privacy. If it is used by criminals to cheat them, then the person who cheats will definitely be punished. As you mentioned, but most of the users use this Mixer platform correctly, due to some cheating circles, this Mixer gets a bad name.
In the current situation, the Mixer platform is very popular and it will be in the future too but everyone should use this Mixer platform correctly.

Criminality exist in everywhere, but we have to consider the right of everyone and see which will more beneficial to everyone. We can't use because of the few criminal elements out there and deprive the vast majority of the masses their right to privacy. There is no system out there that's perfect. Yes criminals will make use of it for wrong things, but many people will use it for the right things too. Let me ask you this, before mixer came into existence was there no scammers, If Mixer get permanently banned, will scams and other crimes stop?

Let not forget that mixer was created for a very good purpose as far as privacy of transactions are concerned, so let not allow the misuse and abuse of mixers make it look as though mixers are a crime promoting platforms. Criminals still uses the banknotes to receive payments for their criminal activities, even kidnappers still takes the fiat for their ransom and that doesn't make fiat a bad currency that should be destroyed. Criminals would always find a way to make use a thing for the wrong way.

That's right. Opportunities for crime can exist everywhere, not just in Mixer but also in banks and other institutions. Mixer purpose is certainly good as it was created to improve financial privacy, especially to protect against hackers. However, it cannot be denied that Mixer is also used by criminals, so it can be viewed from two perspectives as it has both positive and negative sides.

This is similar to fiat currency. Money can be used for positive purposes but it also has negative uses as many criminals use cash to buy drugs, kidnapping, corruption, prostitution, etc. But why when money is widely used for negative purposes is no one seriously proposing a total ban on cash and money laundering also occurs through the traditional banking system. In fact, if we calculate the crimes committed by Mixer, fiat currency is far greater in scale than Mixer.

Crime will never end, as long as people live, some people will commit crimes. But yes, we have to consider that more people are benefiting from the mixer, so some people are trying to ruin its reputation by using it badly. But I believe that there must have been crimes before the creation of the mixer and crimes happened after the mixer was created and people will commit crimes even if they do not use the mixer.
So we cannot blame the mixer in any way, the reputation of the mixer is getting ruined day by day due to the bad use of some people, but we have to remember that more people are benefiting here because the transactions are being kept confidential.

I support what you said.
We cant use the abuse of using benefits of crypto tumbler done by someone to justify other people intention and usage of crypto tumbler service. However, issue like this will surely trigger the government negative stance towards crypto mixing service, and if care is not taking in the future things like this will lead to the shutdown of alot of of privacy service except the decentralized platform which the creator will be anonymous or else the creator will be in trouble just like Tornado Cash CEO.

First of all it is very very important to be clear, cause tools like crypto mixers do not make someone untouchable. Law enforcement this days has become very effective at tracking activity on Bitcoin through blockchain analysis, and simple human mistakes snd many criminals get caught not because the tech failed them, but because they slip up somewhere, identity links, withdrawals, or cooperating platforms, but like many technologies, there is a dual use problem, the same tool that protects privacy can also be abused. That does not actually automatically make the tool bad, but it does explain why regulators and authorities are paying close attention to them.

[Stalker22]

You can say the same thing about Bitcoin. S ure, its great for privacy, but some people use it for crime.  Does that mean we should ban Bitcoin?  Honestly, any tool that protects privacy - cash, encrypted messages, mixers - comes with this trade-off.  Criminals always find ways to use these.  Thats just how it is.  But that should not mean everyone else has to give up their right to privacy.

My thoughts on this is absolutely based on the victim, being that the issue has brought about a confidential prove that most Bitcoin holders can prioritize. Basically I think the commenters didn't say anything wrong but rather they brought to limelight the medium that anyone could use to safeguard their privacy but nevertheless scammers would always want to alter the situation at all cost.

Crime is a human act, and controlling it has never been easy. Most tool are created with the purpose of making life more efficient...We should not blame or hold them responsible simply because they were exploited by criminal. Because the tool itself is an inanimate object

Just as knives are made for preparing food, but some people also use them to kill other. So should we blame the knife? Social media was created to connect people, but criminal are exploiting it to commit harmful act. Should we ban it?


Similarly, Bitcoin or mixer are just tool, and the fact that they are abused does not mean they are guilty.

[Jessie2121]

When it has to do with scammers I'd say they are everywhere like diseases we hear about everyday so this doesn't have to do with a particular country or state, things that can be done to stop it are there but hard to follow, we know so many persons are seriously searching for love and a long time partner but we all should use our head in this kind of situations that comes by. These scammers will use everything in their power to make a change in their lives, ones the trust is strong that is when they strike, they know the use of fiat can easily be traced or it doesn't increase if they try to save it, that is why they use Bitcoin and again with the fact that Bitcoin price do go up they see it as using 1 stone to kill two birds and we know how some women are so desperate to settle down and they know their games so they will play it in a convincing way for people to fall even if the warning signs are visible. Using mixer or not, these scammers have their ways of getting their victims to fall for them so I won't blame the woman completely.

Mixers is not an escape route for scammers to evade their sanctions or apprehensions, intended for every bitcoin users to have privacy so that they can enjoy the benefit of the network at the best of it offers, but take it as it is in this way that people will always abuse every opportunity they see and take advantage of it, while you will discover that some scammers make use of it as an exit scam to escape, so take it as what people will always be found during, abusing any privilege they see, for their own selfish advantage.

Mixers were introduced for privacy but they got into the wrong hands and as such they have been used for other things that makes anyone using mixer look suspicious even when you're not part of their scams. Drug money, pornography, illegal things being done on the internet are all making use of mixers to mix their bitcoin transaction hence it become difficult for the law enforcement agency to track the transactions but that does not mean we don't have legit users that make use of mixers for their privacy. It is a shame that we have gotten many scammers making use of Bitcoin to scam people and as such this is making it look like Bitcoin is mostly being used by scammers but that isn't true since the adoption has been increasing as Bitcoin becomes more popular and many people are using it for utility bills and other payments.

[Don Saga]

Are the people making such comments in support of his actions? Because its beginning to sound like they are neglecting the wrong and suggesting an alternative for the scam to proceed which gives off the wrong inpression.

The mixer is one of these recent technologies that provide benefits alongside dangers to its use too. The use of mixers might not totally be illegal but when suspected for illicit activities it could be subjected to scrutiny by the government for further inspections.

[WilliamCarter]

privacy tools are a proper double-edged sword, same as cash and crypto being entirely neutral on their own. bad actors will always abuse tech to cover their tracks, but that doesn't mean ordinary folk should lose their right to keep their private lives private. laws and regs should crack down on actual crimes, not try to outlaw neutral tech just coz it's harder to police.

Bitcoin's blockchain is public. When you make a transaction with someone, they can often try to guess your transaction history or wallet information. For this  reason many people use mixers. In addition, if a person wants to transfer a small amount of funds, they can use an alternative wallet .  The real intention of a person depends on what purpose a person is using mixer for. If I do not commit any crime and I do a normal job, I do not want anyone to know my bitcoin related information. There is nothing to suspect about me in this kind of intention . I have the right to use bitcoin transactions the way I should for my personal security. If a person wants to keep his transaction history private just because he does not want strangers to know about his wealth, then there is no logic in treating him like a criminal. Some use it for crime, many use it for security. The purpose is main here .

[osasshem]

If we should give a negative tag to Mixers by your view, that will also affect Bitcoin and native fiat/cash as well, cause if it is technically looked into, Bitcoin is the birth place of privacy in the crypto industry, just that now it is popular, the more knowledge it has unfolded to the public/users of it. There are people who do inhuman things for the sake of money, for the fact that they are not caught on the process, nothing bad is spoken on what they did to get the money, but when they are caught, that's when you start hearing of different condemnation to such acts.

A criminal will always leave a trace, and only those who are after him will make checks/findings that will see those traces left behind. This might not be his first attempt to scam someone, just that not everyone you scam that will let you go free without a chase. I don't see any fault with/without the use of Mixers.

May be mixers are created for this sole purpose of scamming others or may be not.
May be it was created to improve privacy but being used by criminals is one of the side effects.
Sometimes, we can't control how a thing created for one purpose can be used for different purposes.

Definitely mixer was created for the sole purpose of privacy, which makes it difficult for a transaction to be traced. Scammers saw it as an advantage to make use of it in order to make their scamming process smooth and untraceable, which is now diverting the main purpose why mixers was created. As the world keeps advancing, scammers take advantage of any opportunity they see to hide or make invisible illegal activities that’s why anything that has an advantage also has a disadvantage, and it’s this disadvantage that is serving as an advantage to them. So people should not get the wrong narrative that mixers are for scamming people.
