In case you were unaware, cryptocurrency built its back amongst mules. While bitcoin gained value through 2008 and 2012 it became functional based on the needs of addicts. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has done its job well since then, but in 2010 black markets operating on "onion servers" controlled a shit ton of the drug market. For those that are unaware, Onion servers must be deciphered through TOR browsers. The nickname of "onion" comes from the determination of these servers to shed their skins and hide their IP addresses simultaneously and automatically. Without a "Tor browser" the merchant is unable to follow its market. 

       There are several black market sites that can be found to meet the needs of its users. For example, if you need 2 pounds of mushrooms, or 4 grams of Ketamine delivered to you in a timely manner, the dark web is your best friend. But at the same time, you can easily be scammed by these sites. The discretion that is offered because of these currencies is the same discretion that keeps you from being scammed by its perpetrators.

        Where cryptocurrency has come in to play is in concords of the discretion of where your money has gone. Using blockchain technology dealers, distributers and suppliers have maintained a decent bit of discretion. Behind the walls of Bitcoin's blockchain, officials have been able to determine the blockchain addresses of procurers and the simultaneous distributors blockchin address. 

          Allow me to apologize for the techno mumbo jumbo while explaining that with properly secured devices, the FBI can only determine (for example that 4.234 Bitcoin ((currently $210870.14)) was transferred to one anonymous address to another). You can easily understand the frustration of the authorities. And, if you are like me, you also understand what kind of airwaves cryptocurrency has opened amidst the drug trade. 

     My own research has concluded that dealers (god knows where) have assimilated several blockchains into their operations. Mainly, drugs as well as fraudulent devices are purchased through these blockchains :

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Monero (XMR)
• Verge (XVG)
• Dogecoin (DOGE)

   Investors in Monero and Verge are especially excited in the use of the currency for ill-gotten gains, as they offer an extra layer of protection that causes the wallet addresses of these currencies to be undetected altogether.

      It should be mentioned that drug dealers, users, collectors and developers are not the sole means of illegal entrepreneurs that have gained from the dark web and its newfound means of currency. Meanwhile, frauds post credit card info, bank info, as well as mass merchandiser info for users to buy at very competitive prices. 

      Honestly, if your wish be to learn more skills to physically lift items from your neighborhood market effectively, the dark web offers its shady hand. 

        People of all walks of lives, interested in any crime can find manifestos dedicated to their lines of work for next to nothing. * (or 0.000322 Bitcoin, or 0.004235 Litecoin)
