Since we're ignoring the geo-political climate (like Russia would just watch West tear down Bitcoin without trying to counter it seems unlikely since Russia is the wildcard in this story), generally making lots of leaps and other things that should have been considered, I have a simpler solution: - The US proclaims a "War on Mining" - Using a bitcoin full node to track IPs, drones to find locations and warheads to "disable" mining operators, bomb every mining location once found Approx cost of operation: less than "$100m per day"
