Not much price action due to this development... DNMs are old news. But I imagine we should see usage continue to increase:
Actually I don't think so.
Normal people are finding TOR and getting something sent is so much easier than anything else.
A CARPENTER friend sent me a guide. lol
he couldn't be less tech, but now will weekly use coins online.
What do you "not think so"? That usage increases?
I thought you said DNM was old news.
I think its becoming less weird more normal.
I mean the fact people can say DM without melting down.
Gotcha. Yeah, my thought was alphabay takes Monero we get the price rise of the decade. Monero takes over the DNM scene little by little? Crickets. But DNMs are old news and as you are saying regular people know about them.
So what I see is one of the purest strongest use cases for a digital currency building, but fairly quietly. We could say this is already priced into Monero at the speculative level... but I do not think that is 100% true.
Also, I believe Monero may end up discounted in some ways because of this (though I think the positive firmly outweigh the negatives from a speculative standpoint). Monero is doing Bitcoin a huge favor by taking the illegitimate use stigma away for itself.
I am a firm believer that financial privacy is good for ALL, not just people breaking the law, lol. But that use case is a very valid test for sure.
Interesting times, to say the least.
(Hello FBI people. I do not advocate people take part in DNMs or drug trade etc. I believe Monero is an important project because of it's connection to the notion of free speech and privacy.)
Passing this on cAPSLOCK:
Hey Kurious, tell cAPSLOCK we're watching, and we know.
