Tornado cash was a cryptocurrency platform designed to mix transactions, making it harder to determine whether coins were "tainted" or not. Monero is a cryptocurrency, not a platform. You can shut down a service or a platform, but Monero isn't necessarily either of those. You can even make Monero illegal, but you can't stop peer-to-peer transactions in Monero from happening. As long as someone has Monero, and someone else is willing to trade a good or service for that Monero, Monero cannot be stopped (or traced, for that matter). You could make a similar argument for Bitcoin (in that it can't be shut down) but Bitcoin can be traced, and anyone watching can see money moving in and out of your wallet. If fullblown cryptocurrency bans were to happen, your Bitcoin address would end up providing the evidence against you. Not so with Monero. Ultimately the most pragmatic question becomes "what happens if Monero gets banned from exchanges, so people can't cash out?" All answers for that are speculative. Some thing it would cause the value of Monero to explode, because there's no way in or out of it. Those who have got it, have it, and those who want it need to be willing to pay the price. Others say the value would collapse, as any hope for mainstream adoption would die. Personally, I imagine it would just become a parallel economy. Those who have it and are willing to transact with it will, and the value of Monero will be determined by those within that economic system. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]cryptOwOcurrencySilver | QC: ETH 309, CC 227, SOL 91 | ADA 267 | Technology 21 5 points 8 hours ago You can shut down a service or a platform, but Monero isn't necessarily either of those. Tornado Cash isn't, either. It's a smart contract. It can't be shut down. You can even make Monero illegal, but you can't stop peer-to-peer transactions in Monero from happening. You can't prevent Tornado Cash transactions from happening, either. Ultimately the most pragmatic question becomes "what happens if Monero gets banned from exchanges, so people can't cash out?" This is what happened to Tornado Cash, I believe. They certainly didn't shut it down. permalink embed save parent report reply load more comments (5 replies) [–]TsrdrumBronze | EOS 41 | Futurology 17 7 points 13 hours ago Same thing that happens every time China bans Bitcoin permalink embed save parent report reply load more comments (2 replies) [–]stopmutations1 - 2 years account age. 100 - 200 comment karma. 11 points 13 hours ago They will have another one up and running under a different name in a couple of weeks. permalink embed save parent report reply load more comments (1 reply) [–]exmachinalibertasPlatinum | QC: BCH 18, CC 17 | Politics 26 3 points 11 hours ago Literally nothing happens permalink embed save parent report reply [–]honestlyimeanreallyPlatinum | QC: XMR 772, CC 250, ETH 30 | MiningSubs 50 5 points 11 hours ago Tornado cash was a mixer with centralized, known devs. Monero is not. permalink embed save parent report reply load more comments (6 replies) load more comments (14 replies) [–]IWillKillPutin2022Tin | 5 months old | CelsiusNet. 51 16 points 12 hours ago This is the exact reason Monero is needed permalink embed save report reply [–]boldtonicTin | r/WSB 13 19 points 11 hours ago They do not understand that all of this is turning an entire generation into anti govt.

The $600 thing was no change in your tax burden. All that changed is payment providers that were already sending 1099s now have a lower threshold. If you weren't dealing with taxes before and shouldn't have, you won't now. If you weren't filing taxes before, but were supposed to, now you will. Your neighbor loaning you $600 isn't income. Your roommate giving you rent money isn't income. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Think-notlikedasheepRational Thinker 4 points 5 hours ago* If you weren't dealing with taxes before and shouldn't have, you won't now. So if someone issues you a 1099 for something that you didn't really earn income for, the IRS KNOWS about you getting the money and it is assumed to be income by the IRS. If you don't report it correctly, you will be dinged by the IRS. Your neighbor loaning you $600 isn't income. Your roommate giving you rent money isn't income. This is true. But not how it plays out on your taxes. Your friend pays his part of the rent and it is over $600 - by paypal. Say the amount is $700. Paypal issues you a 1099 for that $700 payment. You gotta report that. You WILL have to file a schedule C and list $700 in income and $700 in expenses (rent). Net effect is zero on your taxes but YOU WILL have to file that schedule C. If you don't file or include this in your taxes, you WILL get a letter with a bill from the IRS. They have software that automatically runs through your return and issues bills. Then you have to pay and then file an amended return to get back that money. On that amended return: You WILL have to file a schedule C and list $700 in income and $700 in expenses (rent). permalink embed save parent report reply load more comments (1 reply) load more comments (1 reply) load more comments (2 replies) [–]MoikeePlatinum | QC: CC 29, ETH 18 | Technology 20 31 points 14 hours ago Said this a while ago, but won’t there just be services that randomise payments under this limit until the sum is reached, thus easily avoiding this stupid rule? 1000€ is such a low amount, how on Earth are they going to have resources to ‘scrutinise’ them? permalink embed save report reply [–]putfascists6ftunderTin | 2 months old 5 points 10 hours ago Structuring is way more dangerous for you and carries actual consequences criminally permalink embed save parent report reply load more comments (1 reply) [–]Elean0rZSilver | QC: CC 626 | NEO 721 30 points 8 hours ago I hate to interrupt a perfectly nice Monero party here, but THIS LAW HAS NOT BEEN PASSED. It hasn't even been debated. It's a PROPOSAL from the anti-AML Council. It's basically the Council saying, yes, we have agreed amongst ourselves that this is what we think we should do--but that's totally separate from actually writing it into a law that's accepted and passed by parliament, which is a lot more complicated.
