It is hard to make a definitive statement either way. For example: > Analysts estimate that underground economic transactions account for one-third (33%!) of the total economy in developing countries and slightly more than 10% of the total economy in developed countries.

Of course, I would argue that cryptocurrencies are still in the experimental phase, trying to figure out where they are going and how.
