Say there are 10M anonymous user of darknets, 0.001% might
throw $100 cryptos at it for politics or lols, that's $1M or 10 $100k hits.

There's all sorts of sliders you can play with there that could
ultimately yield some form of interference in the timeline.

Beyond estimating, there's the large questions of
- What, if any, such markets have sprung up?
- If not, why not?
- When will they? What are their requirements and environment
to startup, and succeed?
