But BTC mixers don't have to be registered or regulated services so they can't track the owner of those mixing services. I think there is nothing to worry about and even some non-regulated gambling platform can also be used to mix bitcoin.

Accessing mixing services over TOR network will be enough for anyone to hide their identity.

"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.

I agree, the real intention of the government is to control bitcoin and crypto currencies and to taxed the transaction, by using the reason of terrorism the government is trying to regulate bitcoin, and I think the percentage of terrorist using bitcoin maybe is only 1%, most of the time I think they used dollar or gold

The government will strive to regulate all things they can't touch, is true meaning of civilization.

I still can't believe the terrorists (especially in countries of Middle East) using bitcoin as a means of transaction, there was no accurate evidence that leads to it. And I still doubt institutions like Interpol and Europol can't sabotage the Criminals transactions. information technology in middle east region not as advanced as United States and Europe.

I don't believe they use bitcoin (terrorists), especially using BTC mixer.

Darknet marketplaces like DreamMarket and AlphaBay are now considered as less important then Bitcoin mixers now ? It's definitely possible to try but I doubt they will succeed at the end of the day. If TumbleBit takes place in the upcoming months then they could totally forgot about the mixers as they would be the least of their problems.

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...)

TOR is on the eye of governments since long time, if I recall well since it first was released to the public. They are still fighting TOR in the first place so mixers like BitBlender should be the first target (although I don't think it will be easy to shut down anonymous mixers). I think it's a fight against windmills this one and it will not be successful.

TOR is still the best tool we have about privacy and mixers are a very important tool regarding bitcoin anonymity and very few times TOR was break by the government attacks or agencies, so I think there is nothing to worry for the time being.

They only mentioned mixing services on the deep web, which require TOR browser to access. They didn't say anything about standard mixing services.
But I agree - destroying all kind of mixing services (TOR based or not) is the ultimate goal of authorities. I wonder what they will do against anonymous coins then... banish them completely?

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