By CCN Markets: With all of the crypto attention currently centered on Facebook’s Libra cryptocurrency, bitcoin could be gearing up for its best run to date.

Don’t Trust Bitcoin Mixers and Other Opsec Lessons From the Darknet

There’s a day of press at best, and then the media moves on to bigger stories, leaving the fate of the DNM operators unreported as their case grinds through the courts.
