Topic: The Sanction On Mixers Would Make This Forum Boring - page 2. (Read 270 times)

  Why, what do you think will be the benefits of the admin of this forum? What I know is that the ones who benefit the most from this are the community members here in the forum who have a fluent rank from full member to legendary position, not the admin, actually.

  Because the project campaigns in the bounty section or signature camaign in the service section are not the admin who benefits there. But the majority member who is qualified in the rank required for each bounties or signature campaign. And if that is banned, that is the rights of the admin and we as one of the community members have nothing else to do but to follow the rules that will be good for this platform.

Not entirely boring, but we can expect some downturn on the traffic.

Revenue for the participants, the forum didn't get anything from any project except they volunteering make a donation to theymos or forum's address. Remember, theymos also stopped the forum ads since a year ago, if the forum needs money he wouldn't stop the forum ads in the first place.

There will be no advertisement, signature campaigns from Mixers since January 2024 but theymos will allow forum members to discuss about mixers.

You will need to have data from the past to see how signature campaigns in Bitcointalk were run by different companies and how many of them are from mixers. Mixers were more seriously with signature campaigns after ChipMixer, a biggest mixer in latest years, were seized in March 2023.

Now, I will help you to have an overview with past data.

• I take some screenshot from 2014 to 2019, for latest years, you can explore it by yourself with this link https://web.archive.org/web/20190701000000*/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=615953.0
• The forum had less campaigns in 2019, in a bear market and if you compare 2019 to years like 2021, 2022 or 2023, you will see we have a good increase of campaigns. The forum has yet died and in fact, it does not depend on mixers for traffics or signature campaigns.

"The Sanction On Mixers Would Make This Forum Boring" - bitcointalk was created for communication between BTC-like-minded people, and not for advertising mixers. Do you somehow imagine the purpose of this forum differently or has thi forum really changed so much that it is associated only with a place for making money on signatures (mixer campaign's). Even if something like this happens that the forum becomes boring (according to your version), then there will still be people here who want to discuss issues related to the bitcoin and a certain level of activity will be maintained.

If some advertisers leave, others will come. This is far from the worst thing. Even if there are no advertisers at all, the forum administration must have reserves (donations, etc.) to keep the forum in working order.

What I think is that the government is not in charge of Bitcoin and the coin continues to maintain its decentralization which nothing will stop. Think about it, did the government sanction Bitcoin? Heck No, because there is no reason to do it, and even if they try, they would fail judging by the structure of the coin itself.

But I support the government against most m!xers, they shouldn't fold their arms and let illicit flows happen all over in the name of Bitcoin. Even Satoshi will never want that.

Besides, this forum is associated with Bitcoin, not m!xers, I wonder how you make them relate this much. And saying bye-bye to m!xers here still amounts to nothing by the two parties as the m!xers would take their adverts elsewhere and we will be free from allegations of promoting illegality. M!xers can't be illegal entirely but this doesn't stop the fact that some are using it for illegality. To make matters worse, it's more difficult for the government to solve the illegal puzzles in crypto compared to the fiat practices.

BTCt can't continue to let itself be dragged with those who are only in for the money and not for the core value of what Bitcoin and this forum represent. They may cry foul (even the users here) but let the sanctity prevail as much as it can. Everybody can't just be allowed to do whatever they like.

Forum admins or the forum does not make money from these campaigns. It's the forum members who make some money from their signature campaign. Some members may leave the forum, some others may become less active. But the forum will remain the same.

But they're making money from the forum? Don't believe they're working on humanitarian basis to promote Bitcoin 

This thread does not belong in the Bitcoin Discussion. It should be either in service discussion or in meta or reputation. Service discussion is the best section to discuss any specific service. In this case, it's mixers!

I just read the post by the admin stating that mixers will be banned on the forum from January 1. Considering that mixers and casinos seem to be the biggest advertisers here, I foresee a drop in revenue for the forum. The way I see it, it implies that the government is still in charge of the direction Bitcoin moves. If they cannot control Bitcoin, they can move against the appurtenances of the cryptocurrency: mixers, exchanges, who knows... even this forum, etc. With the popularity of the USD dwindling, who knows what else could happen to Bitcoin, the challenger? What do you think?
