They say that bitcoin mixing is an illegal act but how the hell is it legal act to track me and learn and analyze my every activity? How legal is it to read all of my messages and track all of my phone calls? Oh, it's done to prevent crime and illegal activities? C'mon man, that's not true and you can see it in everyday life. Government it self is a huge group of criminals that don't let other criminals to step in their game. They are brainwashing people and only adjust attention on one specific thing, that they want.
As much as I want to agree with you here, I have to disagree. Most of the tracking has been accepted by you once you agreed to all sorts of Terms and Conditions when setting up your phone. Or your computer. Or, when you bought a SIM card. We blindly agree to so many Terms and Conditions almost every day. Open up a web page and you have to click 'I Consent' or read a 10 minute long text to understand what you have to consent for proper functioning of the Website. No body ever reads this for every single website they go on.
Of course. Most of these Terms are overwhelmingly long for the average human to read, comprehend and link together. But it all lays down there in the Terms. One Google app records your voice (Assistant) continuously. The other (Photos) stores your gallery stuff. Another one (Messages) stores SMS. Most of them do not work without the weird GSF and the other apps required by these apps to work. You download other apps to identify unknown phone numbers. WhatsApp has your contacts. Tinder knows what kind of people you like and how you flirt. Et cetera. They have it all and when it is all linked to a single business owner (say Google which knows most of the stuff about you), it is so easy to analyze your person and monitor you.
Then you have a lot of apps mentioning in some way they will sell information to Third Parties. Here is where the thing links all together. Either they work directly with the Government or Third Parties buy and sell information to them if needed, indirectly making these corporations work with the Governments. Because what is easier to do, pay/ask Google for some information about Synchronice or find, collect and analyze the information by yourself?
The door to Governments is open as soon as there is a 'we will report to the Government if there is a suspicious action or we will hand them out the information in case they ask us for it' clause in the Terms. Same goes with Centralized Exchanges. As soon as there is this clause that your money will be frozen and seized if they think something is suspicious about you. There are SO many things that can go wrong. Free Wallet uses this clause to seize your money and ask for so many personal documents with the promise that your money will be handed back to you if you send it, but this never actually happens. You end up sending them all you got on you and they keep asking for more. They now have your money and an unimaginable amount of your personal documents. So there is theft for one and a potential for identity theft in the future.
So if you start being MUCH more cautious about the way you handle things. And start de Google-ing your phone, get rid of Windows, use a dumb phone with removable battery for your mobile carrier interactions, use Mixers to break links, use an encrypted e-mail provider for e-mail communication, use Open Source encrypted communication applications instead of WhatsApp, remove your Facebook and Instagram accounts et cetera. Once you do that, maybe they will try to watch you closer. But there is not much they can watch any more. What will they do if they are now unable to collect much on you anyway.
Now start arguing that crime will be on All Time High levels if every body did this. Do we all forget the things I mentioned in the above paragraph did not really even exist 50 to 100 years ago and crime was still a thing. I do not see crime going into inexistence thanks to severe monitoring of humans.
You are watched anyway! Let's make it more difficult for them. If you are partly anonymizing yourself, like using a mixer to receive coins on your main exchange wallet, log-in in your bank account via ProtonVPN and ProtonMail, then yeah, you are watched but if you do things a little bit different, you won't be their main target.
What franky does not get is that I am in the highlights for using Mixers BECAUSE every body else is scared of using them. Had Mixing, using Proton Mail and encryption at every single corner been the common way of using technology, not only would they not be a highlight any more but Governments would have a very hard time keeping up with controlling and monitoring.
Am I criminal for using Cash at a store? Why, if my bank note can not be traced down to the source. If I am not, then why is Mixing money laundering. Some body above my post posted the definition of Mixing as obscuring the trail back to the source of funds. Cash is the same, is it not. Intentionally or not, you are obscuring the trail back to the source of funds by using it. In fact. You are obscuring the trail so much better by using a bank note than by using a Mixer. I can go to a self paying checkout point in a store with a large bill and buy the cheapest thing in the store. I now have a new set of bank notes, minus a 'fee' (the thing I bought). How does the Government keep up with this kind of 'money laundering'?
To me it is also a sort of psychopathic pleasure to know that a Government has a hard time keeping up with the monitoring of my person. I really dislike being watched like I was in a cage at a Zoo they were visiting for some weird study.
