OK, say you built the next great private online market. How do you get it known by enough of the people and used by enough to get good network effects? How do you do that and retain enough anonymity/pseudonymity for all involved to be reasonably safe since actual free markets without seeking government permission or giving government a hefty cut are illegal? It is not at all an easy set of problems to solve. How would you say make a remote work software consulting house that paid only in say XMR and completely under the table/ off all government books work? How would you guarantee payments and find businesses, especially those not in gray/black market that would take a chance getting some of their software done through you? How will you handle disputes? Where are the underground DROs, attorneys, detectives to make these things work at any real world business scale?
