The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets, overlay networks which use the Internet but require specific software, configurations or authorization to access. The dark web forms a small part of the deep web, the part of the Web not indexed by search engines, although sometimes the term "deep web" is mistakenly used to refer specifically to the dark web.
Every affair in the dark web will use Bitcoin as a method of payment. In the dark web there are various illegal businesses such as the sale of illegal firearms, drug trafficking, assassins and hackers.
What are your thoughts on this Bitcoin abuse?
The dark/deep web is using not only bitcoin, but also other cripto curriencies, in the majority bitcoin
It is normal, because bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are without tracking, so you can buy all, like drugs and arms, and don't have any risk that police can bust you I think this isn't a abuse.
The idea that the dark web or the people into dark web can be abusing Bitcoin is a good topic to discuss actually as certainly there are pros and cons to the said issue. However, we have to notice that the dark web had been in existence even before the advent of Bitcoin and they used other means of exchange back then. When Bitcoin came into existence, they realized that cryptocurrency afforded some level of anonymity (though not absolute as we now learned). It is not just Bitcoin actually because I heard that Monero is also very popular in the dark web (can be the reason for its recent surge?). So far, whenever I heard some news about the dark web and about how the authorities are trying their best to track and stopped the dark trades, there is no suggestion that Bitcoin can partly at fault. I guess if they would do that then that is just akin to blaming the US Dollar for some terroristic and hijacking incidents.
