They ^Wasabi went a step further. Shutting down its Coinjoin service, effective from June 1st, 2024.

The mistake decentralized mixers did was that they are kind of centralized in one way or the other. A true decentralized system can not be taking down by the government because it will be made up of decentralized nodes instead.

US government are trying all possible means to make cryptocurrencies to be centralized and in a way people can not use it privately, even if it can cause problems in the future to coins holders, they do not care.

Just as there are successful day traders I know, there are also many loser traders who have made huge losses through day trading. Now traders have become more aggressive in the hope of quick profit they want to do risky trading like futures trading, which leads a trader to huge losses. Trading is not an easy task it is highly professional's game here many experienced traders also lose money.

All the day traders that I know are losing. You can see them telling you today that they won, they can be telling you many days or weeks that they are winning. But after sometimes they will said that they made a mistake and lost huge amount of money which is more than the money they started using to trade. Trading should not be daily or scalping, it should be for patient people that will know the right time to enter and leave the market.

Well, I can't believe that in 2024 scammers are still using such outdated content, at least they should find some way that is actually more credible ^^ What's even more unbelievable is that many people still continue to be scammed, lose their accounts and crypto assets to scammers because of such silly content.

You answered the question that you can't believe such scam or hack still exists. You later added that some people are still getting scammed. Many people are ignorant and scammers are using a scam means to still be able to scam them. Scammers will continue to use it if people are still falling for the scam and not having any issue with it. Airdrop scam is still common and some people will not understand, especially newbies.

Already the fee went down 16sat/vb and that could be the cheapest for near term cause there is much TXs that left below this rate which makes it not really possible to go beyond this fee rate at the moment.

The Runes can be the problem in the next bullrun. I have not seen the fee rate gone up to 2000 sat/vbyte before. I do not think that has happen before in history of bitcoin. If Runes hype come again, it will be another network spamming.

But definitely 16sat is a lot cheaper and congestion due to runes cleared pretty quick than expected.

Before we were using 1 sat/vbyte when the network was less congested. 16 sat/vbyte means the transaction is now 16 times more than what we have enjoyed in the past.

The U.S are very strong in their 'fight' against privacy in the guise of fighting money laundering, but i believe some parts of Europe are also doing the same thing. The wave of attacks against crypto services is spreading and i agree that very soon, it would be almost everywhere, the government will want to know exactly what you do with your coins.

Governments around the world are the biggest scammers with money laundering and crazy taxation system.
I dont see any benefit to anyone, and nobody is going to be protected becasue they arrested some wallet developers.
Some time in future people are going to laugh when they hear and read why they put people in prison for 

Scammers are still seeing many ways to scam successfully with their fiat. Terrorists still spend their fiat but they will be talking about cryptocurrencies if little of it is link to terrorism. Most laundered money are in banks and some are buried somewhere underground most especially by the political leaders. This life is just fucked. Fiat system itself is a scam, they still prefer to go against privacy when their non privacy way is not working.

I have a brother, he messaged me on Whatsapp recently but from how he  was chatting, I knew he was not him. His account was compromised, not him but a scammer. The scammer is using it to contact people he (my brother) saved their contact. He asked me for money and he gave me a bank that you will think you will be able to trace. But if you trace it, it will be linked to an innocent person. I did not even know the bank or what it is. But I know there are many fake KYCs this days on the online banks that you can open directly on your device without going anywhere.

Their fiat system or monetary system is a failure against scam, money laundering, terrorism, banditry and other criminals activities.

Let's wait and see their verdict, but I heard that other countries like Canada are also looking for him, maybe he can choose better prison.

If I can recall correctly, United States sued not just Binance but also the former CEO and the founder, CZ. I do not think Canada sued CZ but Binanace instead for violation of local securities laws. That Binance sold crypto derivative products to Canadians. I am expecting Binance CEO or a representative to be the one to handle the case instead and should not be about CZ prosecution.

P.S. Question, is BlueWallet a cold wallet? I haven't heard of it before. 

It is a mobile wallet. If you're interested in a mobile wallet, you can check out their Github and build it on your own. It is the alternative for closed-source mobile wallets like TrustWallet on Android and iOS. AFAIK, it is quite popular.

Bluewallet is not only a mobile wallet. Although, it is not having Windows and Linux versions but it has macOS version which is a computer OS for Apple. Bluewallet is not an alternative to Trustwallet because it is a far better bitcoin wallet. Trustwallet is close source and not have 30% of the bitcoin features that Bluewallet has.

Will this have any effect? For me, I also use commercial banks for my crypto transactions, them stopping the registration of new accounts for those that might want to use it - will it stop them from doing their crypto transactions? And those with an account already will this stop them from their trades?

I also use my commercial banks for Crypto P2P sometimes. Even you can see some people using commercial banks as they pay and receive from commercial banks. Although, Moniepoint, Opay, Plampay and Kuda are mostly used. How will they know they are crypto transactions when they are not labeled as crypto transactions.

Their next target will be apps that issues virtual dollar cards just watch and see.

The government do not just want freedom.

Some commercial banks are even now processing international transfer. I was surprised that my bank card that was disabled by CBN to process YouTube premium was able to process it last month.
