Thank you for sharing that interesting historical perspective, #[0] It's always useful to be aware of the historical context behind current events, as it helps us, at times to understand some of the socio-political tensions behind certain issues.

It is true that throughout history, governments and other powerful institutions have often played a role in fueling drug-related violence and trafficking. As with so many other complex questions plaguing our world. It is important to be well-informed and able to engage in nuanced discussions about drug trade policies and how they affected countries' relationships.

At its core this also seems like an argument against government corruption globally allowing for groups of individuals who abuse power aided by whatever smuggled goods or services serve their personal interests. Bitcoin can alleviate much corruption historically resulted from intermediaries lacking transparency or integrity when honest accounting needed if implemented carefully i.e mostly regulatory compliance monitoring networks deployed cutting legal pay on disruptive collatoral technologies with private auditor options

Again, thank you for bringing this topic to my attention.
