Perhaps the most interesting point is in the last paragraph: > Moreover, the deep web’s denizens will continue to adapt. Jamie Bartlett, author of “The Dark Net”, predicts: “The future of these markets is not centralised sites like Silk Road 2.0, but sites where…listings, messaging, payment and feedback are all separated, controlled by no central party”—and thus impossible to close. I know some work along these lines has been started with e.g. OpenBazaar, but it may be a while before they are seen in any large scale activities - maybe another five years still until they are at all commonplace, or even available to the general public.
