🛡️ MixTum.io - Premium Bitcoin Mixer | Launched in 2018

[Etranger]

Yeah I kinda agree with you, collectibles are great for free raffles, especially when they're in limited edition. But IMO, the main interest of a prize in BTC, it that we don't have any issue with shipment, no restricted area or country, etc...etc...

Yes, those Bitcoin prizes are the best option, because everyone can get it without any addictional movements. It is the most convenient and fast way.

By the way, there is one more winner in MixTum free raffle. Congratulations to mu_enrico! And thanks again to all the organizers. I hope, there will be more raffles.

Most probably heard about Russia's decision to "legalize" crypto transactions and mining, and considering the sanctions that country has, how realistic is it that they might try to use mixers to hide their BTC transactions if they use them for international payments?

I am asking this in the context of possible even stricter supervision and attempts to disable as many mixers as possible by those who are constantly trying to do so anyway. Of course, let's leave politics aside and focus on the mixers and their role in the whole story.

Considering that basically every mixer has a Russian language in their website (mix tum included) it is likely that Russians are already mixing a lot of coins..

I got the impression that the founders of a large part of these services come from that zone. Many only subsequently set the EN page instead of RU as default, support chat very often initially appears on RU.
Just imagine now, after Putin has signed a new law legalizing Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining in Russia, how much this will increase their interest and use of Bitcoin.

Many news report hackers from North Korea use mixer, so it wouldn't be surprising if Russia government also use mixer. And aside from western government going after mixer, there's also possibility might run their own mixer which intended as honey pot. After all, FBI already did that with "privacy" phone called Anom.

It's true, if I'm my memory serves me right, there are a lot of fly by night crypto exchanges run by Russia around 2018 that was taken down because it is being used by Russians themselves to laundered money.

And who would forget about the biggest crypto mixer take down in history? CM Crypto ‘Mixer’ Laundered $700 Million For Customers, Including Russian And North Korean Spies, DOJ Says.

Ordinary citizens who use mixers for their own needs are something completely different compared to the same mixers being used by a government that is under sanctions. The question is how much such knowledge would affect the even greater organization of Western governments in the fight against everything that enables privacy, including mixers.

NK is a good example of how a country under sanctions can benefit from cryptocurrencies, but I have already written many times that it is somewhat unrealistic to attribute all hacking and use of mixers only to that country, as if there are no hackers and bad people in other countries of the world.

True, those in power often play dirty games to ensnare those they deem dangerous - the anonymity that comes from having someone build and run a mixer is ideal for such activity.

I don't think North Korean hackers laundering money through mixers is a huge issue because the Korean War has been over for a long time, and sanctions are only imposed to limit North Korea's nuclear ambitions. North Korea still trades with China but they don't use crypto either.

Russia is conducting an invasion war in Ukraine and is being condemned by the whole world. Using crypto to evade sanctions comes with the possibility of using mixers to avoid being tracked by on-chain data analysts. I'm a bit worried that mixers will also be targeted by Western governments in an effort to prevent Russia from evading sanctions. Well, I don't want MixTum to be in the crosshairs of governments, I still want to use MixTum to mix my BTC.

Yes, I also thought about that in past but at the same time I thought that there's chance that most of those mixer services are owned by Rich Russians who want to make profits from the business model and at the same time help mixer users to have high level of privacy for their coins.

If I'm not wrong then most of the high-end users of the mixers are the ones who invest huge amount in Bitcoin and don't want others to know about their investment. They mainly prioritize privacy over fees and that's why they use mixers. And, there's chance that some of those big investors might be from Russia.

It's nothing strange to see Russian language translation on most of the websites, a lot of people in the world speak that same language even outside of this country borders, but you can't say they are mixing a lot coins.
This would be the same as saying that English people are mostly mixing bitcoin because every mixer has English language translation.

A lot of shit will go wrong if Russia decides to become my strict on Bitcoin regulations and carrying out fight against privacy in the near future, since Russia seems to be the highest cryptocurrency save heavens at the moment, with tons of privacy aimed projects running there smoothly for a while, even when such services are restricted and banned in some other countries like the US.
Take for example, Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin mixer's, a lot of happening in Russia right now that we can't afford to look away and not taking action to protect the future of privacy.

MixTum however has one advantage, which is that it is still a premium service with fees that are slightly higher (if I'm not mistaken) than the competition. Somehow it seems to me that people always use the services that are the cheapest first or those that were actually free as was CM - and those are the first to become a target.

In addition, MixTum experience is the greatest among mixers, which probably means that they will know how to protect their business.

I think the problem with mixers usually happen when they mix large amounts of known illegal funds.

Just like when CM mixed hacked coins from binance . Authorities certainly took a closer look at cm after that.

Certainly it is a difficult decision for a mixer when such situations happen..

It's interesting that as soon as they confiscate coins from any services those coins magically become clean and legal again, and they can sell them to all centralized exchanges without problem.
So we could argue that regulators/authorities are actually the biggest mixer in the world, and they are doing the same thing with fiat money and with cryptocurrencies.

I think they don't bother with how they should explain the cleaning of those coins that they themselves have labeled as dirty. They think that they have an absolute right to assess, since they themselves invented this system. And this is what creates the problem with regulation. Not the actions themselves, which in fact may not even be implemented, since there are not enough resources and powers. But clinging to labels that the masses are guided by, because this is how myths work. Without confirmation, on the very fact of the belief that someone has enough strength and power to impose sanctions.
