To be fair, the author has a good point, but we knew this was coming, and Bitcoin did nothing to prevent it. Monero, however, did.
what did Monero do to prevent it?
It doesn't need mixing because the protocol itself hides the sender, the receiver, and the amount as due course.
This stuff is basically banning any privacy-preserving technology on a public blockchain, like Bitcoin, since it has no privacy by default.
