Do you think the markets will go away any time soon?

Go away as in shut down, nobody uses them, no more markets?

You people are missing the one crux of our system, The mail. If one law is passed and mail can be screened, then the jig is up. They would have us by the balls. At this point You better hope to god the mail doesn't go to private.

As long as people use drugs and as long as you can't buy them legally & easily - no, markets won't go away.

Nope. This is the next evolution of the black market.

The specific markets might go away in the future, but other better ones will pop up.

Dark markets disappear? Really? Of course not. Hell, in the late 1990s, I was using clearnet sites to buy the "research chemicals" of the day: 2C-T-7, AMT, whatever. I could never have forseen today's type of full-encryption one-stop-shop market for practically any drug imaginable. Given the trends over the last 15 years, I'd expect drug availability circa 2030 will be even greater than it is now, even if I can't envision the online protocols of the future.

The dark markets benefit everyone, from various perspectives. Drug users love them because it's like being a kid in a candy store. And LE likes them because it creates more mindless busywork, more hours, and more job security (even if the reasoning behind drug criminalization is moronic).

Doubt it. SilkRoad was only shut down because of a lucky break.

The only way that would happen is if drugs were globally legal.

IF they ever go away its not going to be because of lack of customer base.

Theres like 3000+ listings on several markets, there's not a chance they're going anywhere anytime soon.
