bitcoin in dark web

in steemit •  7 years ago 

 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.The darknets which constitute the dark web include small, friend-to-friend peer-to-peer networks, as well as large, popular networks like Tor, Freenet, and I2P, operated by public organizations and individuals. Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as Clearnet due to its unencrypted nature. The Tor dark web may be referred to as onionland, a reference to the network's top level domain suffix .onion and the traffic anonymization technique of onion routing

 

Bitcoin services

Bitcoin services such as tumblers are often available on Tor, and some – such as Grams – offer darknet market integration. A research study undertaken by Jean-Loup Richet, a research fellow at ESSEC, and carried out with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, highlighted new trends in the use of Bitcoin tumblers for money laundering purposes. A common approach was to use a digital currency exchanger service which converted Bitcoin into an online game currency (such as gold coins in World of Warcraft) that will later be converted back into money

Personally, If ever I will be able to start earning bitcoins, I do not know where to invest it. My current plan is just to earn some every week by joining signature campaigns, convert it immediately into fiat, and use it to buy some stuff that I want. I am still a college student anyway, so it is more like an online job for me. But I am hopeful that someday I will have more knowledge about bitcoin so that I will be able to invest too.
