Can anyone break down what's happened in the last 9 months with a timeline?

I was just released from jail after 9 months and it looks like the DNMs are going through a hell of a time.

Roughly what happened:

  1. Everything was fucking great, better than it'd ever been. We were spoiled for markets, vendors and drug selection.
  2. Alphabay got taken down.
  3. People flocked to Hansa
  4. Little did people know Hansa was a honeypot and was now being controlled by the Dutch Police.
  5. One month later Hansa is taken down.
  6. Dutch police gathered a shit tonne of information, so quite a few customer busts, some vendor busts and lots of vendors retired due to safety concerns.
  7. /r/Darknetmarkets started evaluating their opsec
  8. Traderoute became massively popular as refugees from Alphabay and Hansa flocked to it.
  9. Everything was good for some time.
  10. Traderoute went down, people thought it would come back for a good few days but we soon found out they'd exit scammed.
  11. The remaining markets apparently started getting DDOS'd, this coupled with the fact that they were being flooded by the refugees from AB, Hansa and TR.
  12. Aero market, which hardly anyone had heard of started getting more popular.
  13. Berlusconi market launches, seemingly not as popular as Aero judging by the number of vendors on it.
  14. Now the markets seem to not be getting DDOS'd anymore.
  15. Open Bazaar, a decentralized market starts getting more popular.
  16. OMEGA market launched yesterday.
