I've been sharing author's view for quite a while now, namely that there must exist a market of goods to give a currency real value.

But I must contradict the author, because there is a market of goods, and bitcoin is indirectly involved in it. Namely the dark web market of drugs.

People love drugs, and they use a lot of them, drugs turnover a huge amount of value. And right now people are buying bitcoin, because it's often safe to buy, and exchanging it for monero, that they then use to buy drugs.

I'm very much interested in this market, and how it affects crypto.
