No one really used Monero on the darknet. I think there was statistics like 3% of vendors accept Monero, and of those people, maybe 1% of buyers actually place orders with Monero. They just use bitcoin... What you see right now is a pure speculative bubble, with little to no real occurring usage.
This is the impression i was getting too.
Just wanted to back up what you said.
Good or bad ..all i wonder is what now ?
I see a fairly certain amount of drama in the future for Monero.
And no reason to think mass adoption is coming.
If people think it's good to bag hold Monero coins because it's ohh soooo innovative they may be HDOL'ing for the next decade waiting.
What is it people think will happen if DarkMarkets dropped BTC and only used Monero ?
What would that mean ?
I'd guess that would do far more damage than good to it.
