#bitcoin is fungible because #Bitcoin is neutral. It makes no difference to the network what gov't issued list denounces a UTXO. Applying externalities onto the network only serves to exclude oneself from the network, with plenty of room to route around the obstruction. #marathon
"Taint" is a non-quantifiable, opaque scare tactic used by rent-seeking chainanalysis companies to manufacture crises so they can sell their solutions for problems nobody has.
The existence of a traceable history for each UTXO does not mean it's non-fungible. This is where common sense accounting practices are conflated with fungibility.
If I get paid for a job in cash there are consequences for commingling those funds with the funds in a monitored bank account.
If I operate my own business there are consequences for commingling my personal & business funds. Thus I would maintain separate bank accounts for each.
Yet, in neither case would any rational person try to argue with me that any of those funds are non-fungible.
Commingling #bitcoin funds can also have consequences but that doesn't mean it's non-fungible. It just means that good common sense accounting practices should be carefully considered.
CoinJoins, segregation of KYC & non-KYC, & singular address use are good common sense accounting practices. Not using the tools has consequences but that doesn't make #bitcoin non-fungible.
What Marathon is doing will only limit their own potential involvement with the #Bitcoin network. sports.yahoo.com/correction-mar…
This is a censorship mining pool. Censorship is not native to #Bitcoin and as such, this externally applied attribute effects the one applying it, not the network.
