That's around the time Blue Sky got shut down. A year after Silk Road, iirc. Always a spike when stuff like this hits mainstream news. I didn't know Jack Shit about the dnm's until Silk Rd got busted in 2013. Took about 8 days of research before I decided to by from Farmer1 and get my coins from an in-person meet-up from Localbtc
