I don't think the DNMs existed prior to Bitcoin/bitcoin, but I could be incorrect.
So are you saying an argument is that a gov created Bitcoin/bitcoin so that they could facilitate the creation of DNMs?
I doubt the term "DNM" existed before Bitcoin, but there was plenty of criminality on the web. It was dispersed and a pain to track. There were also IRL drug dealers, running around all over IRL & making LEO get off their fat butts & get exercise.
Then we got TOR (US gubermint product), Bitcoin (at least SHA-2 is verifiably gubermint) & the unholy spawn of the two, DNMs. Suddenly tracking became much easier. Instead of IRL-roaming LEO minions, just a couple of pasty doughnut-munchers -- sit on their butts, log, and process.
Licking their fat chops, waiting for the go-ahead from Teh Man to spring THE TRAP!!!
