Is the golden age over?

I wouldn't trust my bitcoins with any shitty market up right now.

There used to be a time when we could trust vendors, and had truly great sites to do our selling on. The great vendors have died off, and now the markets are all shifty selective scam operations. Tor gets faultier everyday and the FBI is getting better at finding large scale operations. We barely get good xanax drama anymore.

The golden age passed us before we even knew it. Agora was the pinnacle of the dark net market era. Abraxas and Nucleus were also good markets, but those days are over.

Now we have alphabay and a few other smaller scam sites. Unless by some miracle we get a new site that changes everything, the golden age is over.

As long as I can trade monies for drugs, the golden age will never be over.

Did you ever, though? Just keep 'em in your Electrum-in-Tails wallet and you're golden, lad.

On one hand, surveillance becomes more comprehensive and under the disguise to prevent terrorism laws will get tougher.
On the other hand, technologies are already under development (e.g. maidsafe) that will guarantee better anonymity.
The biggest problem for DNMs will be distribution.

I don't know what the future holds however I get better shit at a lower price. An "age" is only determinable from the outside.

I don't think it's that black and white. Sure the heroin game isn't what it used to be, neither is the DNM cocaine. And hey, let's just forget adderall is still a dollar a fucking milligram. But look at all the resources we do have, a sheet of LSD is now 150$, methamphetamine at 30$ a gram, not to forget the thriving MDMA market. This is an ever changing marketplace and the community will have its up and downs in different areas. Yes there are issues, but the crypto/encryption folk will always beat the wonderful criminals that are the 3 letter agencies.
