Hey guyz! We are mentioned again lolollzlzll!
here is the link to the article on bitcoin.com
I tried to cut, paste, and format this for those who can't be bothered to click the link and read the article, but turns out I can't be bothered to cut, paste, and format this crap. Here's the meat:
...Tellingly, Zcash doesn't have much by way of deep web adoption, a realm whose users are especially paranoid about privacy.
...Monero: Like Zcash, monero has emerged as a viable cryptocurrency in its own right, even for individuals who aren't interested in privacy. Its privacy tech is highly regarded and numerous deep web marketplaces accept monero. Monero usage surged in the wake of the Alphabay shutdown, after it emerged that feds were unable to determine how much XMR the site's alleged kingpin, Alexandre Cazes, held.
A string of deep web dealers were busted this year after their bitcoin transactions were tied to their real-world identities, and it was around then that monero cemented itself as the darknet's privacy coin of choice. SHUM - Should Have Used Monero - is the default reply on r/darknetmarkets any time another vendor is busted.
