THE SILK ROAD The Silk Road is the ancient trade route between Asia and Europe.

Secondly but more importantly, was the exchange of information and ideas, enlightening people both East and West. And although dangerous to traverse allowed those with the guts and good luck, a chance to strike it rich. More recently The Silk Road is known as the notorious Darknet Website trafficking in illegal goods. Run by Ross Ulbricht, who called himself The Dread Pirate Roberts (from the book and movie “THE PRINCESS BRIDE”), it sold mostly drugs to clients around the World and used Bitcoin to help insure anonymity. Ulbricht was arrested by the FBI in October of 2013 and his marketplace closed, not that it doesn’t resurface in various forms from time to time.
