The quantity and dollar value of drugs sold person to person in the US is orders of magnitude greater more than that of global darknet markets, and the amount of money being transferred by Venmo and Cashapp is growing, people are becoming more trusting.

I know one person who runs tens of thousands of dollars via Venmo and other apps selling weed and hard drugs in SF. Of course, in SF I doubt they even have a law against selling drugs.

Bad news travels fast, so there's lots of criminal subgroups. Bitcoin and crypto are dwarfed by financial speculation and DeFi.
