Tornadocash has been sanctioned by the United States Government which has made the project to go into Hiding, this means That any one that uses the platform is seen like it’s breaking the rule. This is because, tornadocash has been tagged as a platform used by criminals. It’s a crypto mixer on the Ethereum blockchain that scrambles transactions so as to make it less transparent and very hard to track.

Criminals use it to launder money making their transactions private and almost untraceable. It’s referred to as a bad means, forgetting that criminals also use fiat to do the same thing, yet no one is banning fiat. While it’s true that criminals may be using the platform to launder money, it’s unwise to ban it and completely tag to be a bad platform when it can be used to actually track these criminals if they could find a way to work with tornadocash developers.

After being sanctioned, someone felt it was wise to distribute 0.1 ETH to 600 Addresses from Tornado Cash. Reasons best known to them. That is about 60 ETH distributed to 600 Addresses, these addresses had a lot of notable high profile accounts in it, it was a dust but not really a dust because it’s 0.1ETH. I guess this is another way of causing awareness so as to have the sanction removed, I really don’t know what their game plan was when they were sending that ETH dust.

Unfortunately for the founder of TRON, Justin Sun, his address was amongthe high profile notable addresses which was his aave wallet address, this led to the temporary ban of his Aave account. Now where is the decentralization? Aave is assumed to be a decentralized platform, how come it got banned after the dust got to Justin Sun account, he came on Twitter to announce that, shortly after, the account was unbanned. This means that someone has the means and power to block and unblock his account.

This is not true decentralization, once again, this proves that so far, Hive is the only decentralized platform. This is because, no one can block or unblock your account because no one can control your account.
