As a financial and cryptocurrency practitioner, I'm intrigued by the role Bitcoin plays in the mysterious and often elusive realm of the Dark Web. Can you provide an overview of how Bitcoin is utilized on the Dark Web? Are there specific trends or patterns in its usage? Are there any notable cases where Bitcoin has been used for illicit activities on the Dark Web? And lastly, how does the anonymity of Bitcoin transactions impact its popularity and usability on the Dark Web? Answers to these questions would greatly enhance my understanding of the intersection between cryptocurrency and the Dark Web.
