Of course being a piece of shit media site operated by shitcoiners / De-Fi / whatever, nobody at The Block knew enough to correct the author and instead let this article run.
Of course, the moment this article was shared on Twitter, The Block was corrected (and the clown face emoji added):
Hey @Timccopeland, pro journalism tip for you: when researching the main subject of an article, read beyond the summary of the very first search result. CoinJoin is not a company. CoinJoin is not a "mixing service". A CoinJoin is a type of collaborative bitcoin transaction.

You would know this if, in the course of your extensive research, you paused to glance at the second or third search result for a moment. Or even, god forbid, actually clicked through and read the bitcoin wiki page.

Actually, I wonder if The Block actually knew this ... and posted the article and headline as-is intentionally to try to denigrate bitcoin. Would not surprise me one bit.
