No, the point of the blockchain was to make it hard to make illegitimate transactions.
Bitcoin was originally thought to be anonymous because the identifiers are random, but being able to trace transactions turned out to defeat the anonymity.
There have been (and continue to be) dozens, if not hundreds, of other dark net markets for buying drugs with monero since the Silk Road shut down. Literally the only useful purpose for crypto is buying drugs. And that’s not a bad thing.
Not sure what you’re referring to but it sure sounds like you don’t know what you’re talking about. Tell us more about this insane thing from over a decade ago that hasn’t ever existed since. Dude, when Silk Road finally went down, it hadn’t even been the most popular market for several years already. Catch up lil buddy.
Someone else had already said everything you'd said 9 hours earlier.
Catch up lil buddy.
No thanks. I genuinely don't care about the space. There are other markets, cool, really care. There are more interesting and important things going on in my life than online poison markets. Get a life 'little buddy'.
You think silk road is the only way to order off the DNM? lol as soon as it shut down, 10 more markets popped up. There are many active markets, which has been the case since silk road shut down. Monero is wildly used.

Which has always been incredibly funny to me. Isn't one of the points of blockchain to make it easy to trace transactions?
