Yes, dark web markets are booming. dark.fail is a good starting point if you want to explore them.

GameStop won't keep increasing for ten years, like crypto did, without some real world fundamentals.

Even in GME case, you have the short sellers as a backbone for its rise, not just buying and selling for the sake of it. Without the short sellers, GME wouldn't have risen up that much.

Any decent one is using Monero, which isn't necessarily the target of a ton of speculation, I think.

The on-ramp to monero is usually through bitcoin.

and the price of Monero is correlated to BTC because of that. it'll be a long time before xmr becomes independent, if ever.
