There's also the issue of <$10 services being used explicitly to test stolen credit cards, before they're sold and used for the big spending.

It's got its own issues. For example i hope you've got a separate wallet per transaction. Otherwise someone will use their tumbled BTC to pay you and you'll get blacklisted from using it in exchanges.

I think bitcoiners already use a new address for every transaction. They call it "HD Wallets".

This is a non-issue for cryptocurrencies with mandatory obfuscation like monero. Worst case scenario, you swap your tainted BTC for monero[0] and take the monero to an exchange.
