Does anyone have personal experience with Joinmarket or at least experience from a reliable source?

After the departure of Samurai and Wasabi wallets from the Coinjoin feature, Joinmarket seems to be the only remaining "free" option.

I would like to get feedback from someone who has used JM. How safe and effective is it in general?
What are the pros and cons here?
Is there a risk here and can developers be prosecuted by the feds?

Unfortunately, I have never used Joinmarket and therefore do not have any reviews of the features or reputation of the service it provides. I am only curious about the reasons why users continue to choose and use Joinmarket despite knowing that it is at risk of being charged and investigated in the US in the future.

Samurai and Wasabi have abandoned users in the US crypto market, I think Joinmarket may also be able to take similar actions. At present, I cannot access joinmarket.net and only receive the message "This account has been suspended". I am not sure what happened to this service

Some people are constantly speculating that one day ETH will surpass BTC in some way, and they probably mean that it will be worth more than BTC. Personally, this is quite unrealistic considering that ETH has about six times more coins in circulation than BTC, and that, as far as I know, it still does not have a clearly defined max supply. The thing that pushed ETH even more to the side is the transition to POS, which in my opinion makes it less attractive than before.

Furthermore, ETH's absolute ATH was in 2021 and was $4891, and if we take into account that BTC then and today is approximately at the same value in relation to USD, then we see that it is a difference of almost $2000 in a negative sense.

The price of ETH is therefore a reflection of the market's confidence in it, and everything else is less important.

Technology-wise, Ethereum with smart contracts has many more features than Bitcoin. In fact, if I had to choose only one crypto to apply to the world, I would probably choose Ethereum. The ETH marketcap is also expected to surpass the BTC marketcap, but that is unlikely to happen even though ETH has an infinite total supply, as the market has chosen BTC as the crypto king. I can only hope that in the future, ETH will surpass BTC in terms of daily trading volume, just as USDT has surpassed BTC.

Despite how good and valuable ETH is in its vast ecosystem, ETH is still just an ALTS and only receives inflows after BTC has recovered and stabilized at a new higher price zone, and is also heavily influenced by BTC price fluctuations because BTC price is still considered an health indicator of the entire crypto market. I don't think this will change anytime soon in the next few cycles, perhaps only the widespread adoption of the Ethereum blockchain into the new economy can make the ETH price supported by business demand and less dependent on the BTC price.

Because I am a typical holder and don't make trading decisions very often, I rarely check market conditions. Initially, I often checked Bitcoin market conditions, but because there was never any impact or no action, I reduced my intensity in checking market conditions. I don't check the market, it doesn't mean I don't care about my assets, but this is also my strategy to be a little less emotional when there is FUD or when the market is correcting.

From my previous experience, my decisions are always messy because emotions are still involved. And my previous evaluation was to start using reason and mathematics to make decisions, rather than using emotion and heart.

Well, I believe that checking the market status and especially the account has become a habit of many investors. There are many reasons for this, but it usually comes from the fact that investors are not experienced enough, do not know how to handle risks with OCO + Stop-loss orders or set alerts on market monitoring applications. They also often worry and need to see the price chart to feel like they are monitoring and not missing any investment or profit-taking opportunities in the market.

I also do not encourage this behavior, as constantly checking the market can be time-consuming, reduce concentration on daily work and is also useless for objective market fluctuations, it is only harmful to investment psychology. Long-term investors do not need to constantly check daily fluctuations, professional investors do not need to stop orders manually.

There isn't room for everyone,  even for the most reputable members.

Other members don't want to participate in some campaigns if they are paid below their expectations, and that is perfectly fine.

The lower payrate is definitely not a motivator for users. It's fine for some, but others are used to at the minimum, what they have been getting from the other forum and that just hasn't happened here so far. Probably why not as many reputable users joining here IMO.

It's going to take time for this forum to grow but I did expect more companies would be here by now. It's been almost 6 months.
