If openbazaar succeeds in creating a robust decentralised platform for trade, the portion of black market transactions done in bitcoin will grow significantly, and anyone holding bitcoin (eg. a16z) will get big returns.
- GordonS 11y agoThe black market is already well established on Tor, so I'm not sure if OpenBazaar will result in growth in such markets, or just a shifting of some existing business from Tor to OpenBazaar.
- anon4this1 11y agoIt is well established, but plagued by issues relating to centralisation - exit scammers, law enforcement infiltrating markets, people stealing bitcoins. Each time this happens, growth is damped as buyers and sellers shuffle over to new operators. OpenBazaar would revolutionize this.
