Always be wary of studies conducted by people taking a political assumption and turning it into the basis of their paper. It's not coincidal that said studies either lack specifics in some areas, while being over-specific in others or

Gee, who would have thunk?! A complete transaction history for users which were attracted by alleged anonymity?! The ability to extort even if you just traded with someone who’ve traded with someone shady? The possibility to thread ceasing
