This caught my eye:

> Outside the darknet, the hidden part of the internet used for criminal activities, it is hardly used for payments at all.

I assume that they know about the lightning network, but because it is not on the WWW, it is TECHNICALLY part of the dark web. There are plenty of bitcoin related stores that take bitcoin, but I guess the payment itself happens on the dark web.

But wait, isn't visa, MasterCard, all of that, isn't that also part of the dark web? Anything that is not accessible publicly is dark web, if I put a password to an admin section of a web platform, that is the dark web. If you need a password to access Facebook content, that is the dark web.

Hmm, well criminal activity is everywhere, including the WWW. I guess it also happens on the dark web too. 🤔

Okay, rant over, time to read more.
