An year ago from today, this place used to be so much more full of positivity and happiness. There was immense competition in the market and very few scammers. Everyone was so happy including sellers an buyers. There were well known vendors, quality reviews were being published, people had access to more information.
This year turned things the other way around. It is like a dead place now to be very honest. Sales have dropped, there are more scammers in the market now, people are losing their money or assets, most of the good vendors are gone, people are scared as fuck, creating alt accounts to hide their activities. lol. The only thing which I can speculate that grew is the number of potential buyers.
Alphabay forums were such a great place to discuss things, this sub too was way more interesting with better threads compared to what is being posted these days.
With all due respect, LE is doing their job. People will continue to trade, there is no solution strategy as of now at least to stop this.
Today I smoked a spliff that came from AB, I was saving it all this time. It still got me high. I officially said RIP to Alphabay today. I lost the great vendors too. Some are still there, but as I said, people are scared.
Anyhow, I wish to see this place as it was before. With good reviews about the few good guys that are still out there, as well as the new ones who created their name in the market I don't wish to see a scared community, I hate to see bullshit dnmthrowaway accounts, specially when they are named like that.
Be resourceful, don't come here asking information which you can find easily elsewhere. Acquire the necessary knowledge it takes to reach your objectives and always keep your heads high!
I don't think thats the case at all. The community has been at even more dissray before. Evo exits and the sub is uproar then mega bartard drama and everyone complains for weeks (not to mention astrid drama).
The community is much larger now though so its more disbanded, less tight nit and more randoms. It's not a bad thing it just changes the dynamics of the sub. With that being said, this whole thing that we have is a battle. Theres no winners, only people who are currently winning and people have already lost.
