It was the appearance of Bitcoin that made possible the emergence of black markets trading in banned goods online, 24 hours a day, around the world. But, as it turned out, the law enforcement agencies were well prepared for a new challenge. After several high-profile arrests of owners and customers of these resources, most of the most famous black markets were closed.


Pretty sure black markets existed before bitcoin.
Even ebay and yahoo auctions used to have some pretty crazy stuff back in the better days.
