So im literally a curioused person which wanted to have more informations about Deep Web and its wierd and creepy videos and stuffs. So I recently streaming youtube for a couple of hours, so basic compared to what deep web has, but after about 10 videos,i found this gem.

https://youtu.be/rEtGb4Eenp0

So for those who have no time watching a 14:27 minute video, ill make a summary for you.

So theres this youtuber who wants to access deep web, just a curious guy like me. Then after a boring introduction, he finally opens the site. So to make the story short. He finds all illegal stuffs like hacking, buying other peoples account including paypal and even bank accounts perhaps, steps on how to do illegal things and a bunch of drug dealers all for suprisingly low price. Whats surprising is this.

MOST OF THE DEALS ARE CAN ONLY BOUGHT BY BITCOIN !!!!!!!!!

WTF. I really stumbled that even the dark webs and illegal organizations only accepts BTC because of its anonimity.

Heres an interesting topic for you guys. Lets discuss about this and maybe you have a lot information than mine.

These are happening a long time ago. Actually bitcoin first takes place widely in deepweb. It was obviously used for illegal transactions like what you have mention, drugs, bank accounts or other stuffs related to pornography or gore. I think the reason why bitcoin was the major currency in deepweb because a lot of people are interested to it for the chance that it will rise its value soon. Also, transactions using crypto was somehow secured or anonymous compare to some currency.
I have read time and time again that Bitcoin isn't as anonymous we thought it to be, because of that most of that most of the deep or dark web users have started accepting monero if their main issue was anonymity. But to those that accept Bitcoins am sure it has to do with the fact that they know it will rise in value so that they can have some profits.

Bitcoin is pseudo anonymous, which means partially anonymous but not really. Governments can find out who owns your Bitcoins in your wallet. However, in the early days it was attractive to illegal dealings because the government's were not savvy to the new technology.

These illegal transactions was done even before, even for the brutal videos can be bought at deep web using bitcoin. the main source of payment thru there was bitcoin. Its the digital money which is popular only to deep web before. its no surprise.

There is nothing surprising. But it doesn't mean that bitcoin is evil. Everything depends on a person who use it. Bitcoin is just another means of payment for thieves, ransomware or even terrorists. Theft, robbery, extortion, blackmail have always been and will be. Independently of bitcoin.

I've never checked out dark web, but I'll use some common sense / logic. There are more directions here:

1. I expect that some of those "deals" are fake, like everywhere in the world. So obviously a mean of payment that's not reversible is preferred by the sellers.

2. Since the things sold/bought there are usually (?) illegal, linking them to somebody's name, address, face.. are clearly avoided.
And then the next question arise: how comes they don't use anonymous coins and risk (just a little, I know) to use Bitcoin?

I hate to say this, but you are wrong. Deep web is the place where all of the things are true, the Government's secrets are even there, lots of confidential and unimaginable things you can't picture out in your mind. Deep web is just a mask, the most interesting things are inside. All of the deals and transactions there are legit, because the word "respect" are valued there, unlike here in the internet (you know what I mean).

They respect each other because not all of the people have guts on diving down in the deep part of the web yet there are some, and that's what I like about in deep web, their system and the people.

Would you buy something illegal with your credit card? Of course not. People use BTC or ZEC to keep anonymity.
Its a big no. Why would you use CC to do illegal things.
People use digital money to do it. Deep web was full of illegal things, including piracy movies, they sold movies for cheaper price. They cracked games with high value. Thats why using btc is the best way to become anonymous, having transactions to anyone without knowing your true identity will make the life of their business long.
