No wonder why crypto first thrived in the underground--in the deep web for instance--
before it came out into the open and eventually into the mainstream arena.
i disagree mainly because it wasn't that big but the media made a big deal out of it like they always do with these small stories. but also because it is harder for a shop that is legit to accept bitcoin specially in countries that don't see bitcoin as a currency, they have to jump through hoops even if they wanted to add bitcoin so they think twice and that means slower adoption but in anywhere that is not regulated like the deep web you can do anything you want.
