It is funny because I am thinking which Monero holders will now buy drugs on Alphabay.

The best move for the Monero team right now is to set up more infrastructure to buy XMR easier for those people who are interested. It would be better for more shapeshift type of service where the buyer can be anonymous. So maybe a service like localbitcoins for the darknet is a good idea.
As a longtime XMR holder, I can tell you this was never about drugs or DNM's, it was about true digital cash/fungibility without repercussions.
Thanks.
BTW. I am trying,see my sig!?
I agree, most that have been here years were for loftier goals.
