You may have been privy

to the massive chatter

around Bitcoin about a

year ago when people

cottoned onto the “crypto

currency”. Basically, just

like you spend Australian

dollars in Australia, you

spend Bitcoin on the dark

web after converting from

whatever conventional

currency you have.

“It is the largest and

best mode,” says Ormsby.

“There’s nothing illegal

about Bitcoin. There are

even Bitcoin ATMs in

Melbourne Central. You

can use it to buy a lot of

legitimate things and it’ll

translate without passing

the banks.”

WTF IS

BITCOIN?

From Gawker to

guns, a small

selection of what

I found on the

dark web.
