Idk it’s a great way to buy drugs though

Funnily enough, the only people i know that made any actual insane gains from crypto were early adopters using it to buy cheap drugs from the dark web. Shit is a scam, just like fiat currency

One of my biggest regrets was not buying drugs on the dark web when I was willing and able. Would have had at least a handful of spare Bitcoin.

No kidding. Back in college I was kicking around the idea with my friends of dumping a few student loans for semester into bitcoin to buy quality mdma. It was like $0.50 a coin at the time.

I rest easy knowing that I would have sold it for beer money well before the price went absolutely nuts. I was never going to make real profit off of it

Most markets use monero these days because it’s untraceable

It was until the authorities learned how easy it is to connect transactions to actual people.

Yeah markets stopped using bitcoin awhile ago because of this. They use monero these days because it’s untraceable
