      > how would one go about killing Ethereum? Arrest founders, freeze exchanges and seize their ether or cash proceeds of ether sales recently completed. Subpoena their records and trace ownership to natural persons; if they don’t surrender their ether or pay a fine they go to jail. Trace IP addresses to scare a few more people; rinse and repeat periodically. Bonus points if you do it only for ether, thereby giving people an exit to other cryptocurrencies and allow people to voluntarily surrender ether for a token, capped tax write-off. The U.S. government has lots of experience thoughtlessly banning things in an overreaction, and with limited exceptions (e.g. the war on drugs) it’s more or less worked.
