a lot of known best practices were not followed in 2013.

Every advancement in crypto was done after the government made a move. And all subsequent moves netted the government less.

Now it takes more agencies to seize darknet markets, and most merchants and consumers get their money back because it was a multisignature transaction and the server stored nothing. Even domains have been seized back from the government.

The crypto space calls it "antifragility", as in the idea - and now history - that the asset class and infrastructure improves under pressure.
