Have cryptocurrencies retained their popularity as a payment method on the shadowy corners of the internet known as the dark web? With the evolving landscape of digital currencies and increased regulatory scrutiny, has the use of cryptos for illicit transactions on the dark web diminished? Or are they still the preferred choice for those seeking anonymity and privacy in their transactions? Could there be a shift in trends towards alternative methods of payment or does cryptocurrency still reign supreme in the underbelly of the web?
