People want such an asset, but it absolutely can viably be stopped. Governments outlawing it will lower the price and utility. Governments doing a 50% attack or similar will end it. What's interesting to me is that Proof of Work competes with government's Proof of Force. I wonder, is this a choice between running the world on math (or profit) versus running the world on democracy (or force)?
