Cracking down on DNM sites is currently a low priority for the Russian government. The result of this has been proliferation of Russian language DNM sites that largely operate in the open and on an open blockchain.

How do you think things like global-scale shifts in power or protocol updates will affect the blockchains these DNMs operate on?

a huge chunk of any userbase will never care about opsec until bad things start happening all the time

Even then adoption seems slow. There are so many stories of people getting their accounts frozen for suspicious or forbidden BTC use but the same mistakes keep getting repeated.

I rest easy knowing that my crypto assets are private but I guess most people don't seem to care because they're not spending them? Idk
