RE: The Surprising Truth About How People Spend Monero [Token Investigation 43/50]
Just an update, Alphabay has been offline for some time now. However, many stores on the Dark web accept Monero payments. And also: it is not illegal to visit the Dark web. Just use tor browser, don't download or buy anything and stay away from child porn websites.
To track what things people spend Monero on, the easiest way would be to investigate what websites accept the coin. Follow the money
Right I believe you that it's not illegal, I've never really had a reason to browse the dark web but I know people who do it. Thank you for updating me about Alphabay since I have no idea.
It would be interesting to see a super in-depth investigation of where monero is being spent, tracking it down one website at a time. That's beyond my own interest to do but I'd love to see it if anyone else ever does the legwork.
Yeah, you opened my eyes that the Dark web isn't that widely visited and visible as I thought it was. I might have to write a few blogs about that ;) It will be hard doing a complete investigation of Monero, since many sites will be members-only. I don't have it planned, but who knows what the future might bring.
