Make a DoomCoin! It would keep 12 difficulty counters, one for each proof of whatever, and getting farthest ahead in one of them lets you mine a new block.
That way it can distort the prices of (sorry, "effectively allocate") CPUs, GPUs, disks, ASICs, RAM... anything else you can come up with.
Sounds like a good project for a comic book villain.

Yes, but it may be very slow the first period, as it would be used to the pre-collapse difficulty level.
