I think you live in Wonderland. The reason there is contraband is precisely because the government controls everything, from currency up to what gets in and out. Bitcoin means lack of control for the government, and they'll see that quickly once they see they can't stop it, issue it, or hoard it, so they will make it ilegal and call it an evil abomination of the empire. And the first thing that will happen is that your bank accounts in mercantil and other banks will be frozen.
The way Bitcoin will happen in Venezuela will be organic, it will be first out of us eventually convincing people to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment for remote work
