You really hit the nail on the head. It's a bit naive to think that darknets end drug violence on anything more than a street dealer level. They're still going through most of the fucked up cartel channels after all, just a little detour at the end. It's a step in the right direction for sure. And you'll never destroy Silk Road like you'll never destroy Napster. I think it's simple. Illegal drugs and hitmen? That's the CIA's job. They don't like competition. I'm not a crackpot I'm just saying the industries currently in legal control of these commodities will do whatever they can to stop thugs (let's face it the guy's a thug) from changing the status quo.
