1) the number of dark market tx that Bitcoin is involved in does not define whether Bitcoin is a black market mechanism… but let’s just concede your point and say it did… are you the saying the recent Iran + Straight of Hormuz situation was a white market situation?
2) now that I’ve let you have your point let’s dismantle the very idea that allowed it to flourish… Bitcoin is a black market mechanism by the nature of its decentralized, rational marketplace that serves the function of its permissionless, censorship resistant design
When a miner attempts to censor a tx the fee on that tx rises and a value prop is created in that moment… the user is faced with “either I value this tx enough and I pay the higher fee and prioritize this push through or I slow roll and eventually another economically rational miner pushes the tx through and it eventually makes it into a discovered block” - either way, the tx WILL EVENTUALLY verify SO LONG AS it is not a double spend
A permissionless mechanism (like Bitcoin) cannot both be a white market mechanism AND permissionless… these terms are paradoxical thus it is black market money by its very inherent technological function
I didn’t make the rules but the people I’m near directly quoting actually did… ask your boy who created most of the monero darknets 👀 I’m sure he’s watching
3) if you’re still using the darknet to make black market tx in 2026, you’re playing with fire and probably are operating on borrowed time
Again, I didn’t make the rules… the panopticon did
