Bitcoin addresses for darknet marketplaces are easily available - e.g. https://www.walletexplorer.com/

Perhaps Coinbase will turn you away if they see you depositing money on a drugs market?




It is ironic that Bitcoin is thought of as the criminals currency when it's one of the most trackable in the world.


It depends on how it is used. Any darknet that has addresses associated with it could be run a lot better.


Bitcoin allows more to know of those criminal actions.

With untrackable currency (USD, et al.), you get HSBC's and all the others, who may commit crimes in secret and destroy the evidence.
