How are you JayJuanGee, it has been a long time. I hope you are well
The post was not intended to come across as advocating for more or less government control, my apologies if it was misconstrued. As for the official story as stated in the law enforcement case against the owner of Chipmixer, maybe the law enforcement agencies or other sources will provide information which goes further to explain what was happening.
Gosh.. that sounds scary JollyGood - that you seem to be advocating for even stronger and/or more rigorous and draconian Govt measures, and surely I am not anti-government, but whenever I see these kinds of cases, I become skeptical of the government story - and maybe part of my discomfort comes from their seemingly conflicting mandates of "protecting the public" while at the same time not disclosing too much about a case that is under investigation and/or that the seemingly target person (alleged wrongdoer) is still on the loose.
Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification...
Sometimes there are likely delicate balances in regards to second-guessing various prosecutorial discretion, and then how their announcements show how they might seem to be pursuing some matters, and of course, sometimes there could be other targets or there could be reasons why they had chosen not to pursue certain entities, including sometimes whether they might have gotten cooperation agreements that then justify not pursuing certain entities or persons. For sure, we are not always going to find out everything that is going on, and sometimes there could be questions whether their pursuits are reasonably within the "public's interest" or if they might be purposefully choosing to scapegoat some and to provide too much leniency to others.
It was in the news, just over 1900 BTC was seized.
I just asked them to give me about 20 BTC of that amount.
I'm not a greedy type, for me that amount was enough... Maybe one day, that goal will come true.
Well, if we go by your forum registration date joker_josue, then a mere
$28 per week for 9 years would have gotten you to that amount of BTC (with a total of around $13,160 invested).
That linked website (dcabtc.com) only allows for the tracking of DCA investing for a maximum of 9 years, so if you might be suggesting that you did not start investing in BTC around the time of your forum registration date, and we just go back
9 years from today, then you would have needed $46 per week to get to that 20 BTC amount (which would have been a total of $21,620 invested).
It seems that the later that any of us were to start to invest into BTC, then the more difficult it becomes to get to that amount of 20 BTC, and starting today, it might seem hard pressed to wonder how possible it would be to get to the accumulation of 20 BTC?
So if any of us want to get to 20 BTC and we are starting at a later date, then we would have either had to raised the amount that we invested per week or perhaps increase the amount of time that it takes to reach such a 20 BTC goal.. or perhaps make more reasonable (and reachable) goals?
Personally I prefer to make individually-tailored goals that are more tailored towards where any of us might be at and where we could reasonably take ourselves.. and for example, any guys/gals/BTC HODLers who might have had left some of their BTC through Chipmixer, may well have ended up reducing the amount of their BTC and perhaps having to readjust their individualized BTC accumulation targets... whether 20 BTC is reasonable or not may well depend upon where any of us are at right now, and other factors, and then also there are also factors of how many coins do any of us believe to be practical to be processing or holding through these kinds of third-party services in which we might end up losing some or all of those coins (or at least vouchers for actual BTC).
There are a quite a few people who have had the fortune to find out about BTC for many years (such as 5 years or even 10 years or more), but then sometimes are not taking enough precautions to move some of their BTC, most or even perhaps a decent portion of their BTC to locations in which it is more difficult for their BTC to be taken from them in one form or another or for their BTC to get caught up in some kind of government proceedings, and even some users of Chipmixer might be a bit leery to even contact any of the authorities who had seized the coins in order to ask "when am i getting my BTC
(that you took) back?"
