Where ever you hear "sanctions" and "blessing" in one sentence just say fuck you and block it.

Dictators all around the world really love that analysis, sanctions are real blessing for dictators, they can make secrete deals and behinde the door negotiations.

An elite we call "sanction traders" rise from this theory.

They eploit this vague situation, make international deals and take a huge cut from all the sides involved.

Lack of transparency is friends with totalitarians and dictators. They thrive in it. They abuse their people on account of sanctions, and get richer and stronger.

Yes this is corruption that grows around these walls of financial barriers. Capital controls function the same way and tax the people further while the elite benefit thru round tripping, a form of arbitrage. The way bitcoin has blessed the people is by giving them their own form of arbitrage via p2p otc

Bitcoin also has blessed dictators,

All the dictatorship military have the largest bitcoin farms while bitcoin mining is banned and illegal for citizens.

Totalitarian regimes in Iran, China, North Korea, etc have amassed a considerable stack of bitcoin.

which luckily still progresses us further into the Bitcoin standard. and the further this progresses, the less violence will be profitable
