Yeah, you're right. Governments could do both. It's just that I've never seen a major nation actually punish the banking corporations. Iceland's move was impressive though. I don't appreciate your gross stereotype but I do understand it. It may suprise you to learn theres a minority of people that actually use bitcoin as a currency. I've used bitcoin for fun since 2011 and as a currency since 2013. I didn't get rich because I'm not an investor. I don't play around with exchanges and other finance stuff. I just pay for my dot com domains, VPS rent, and buy new computer hardware with it on the blockchain. It's fairly currency-like from my end of the elephant. I completely agree what's going on with financial style scams offchain is nasty and pretty much every "cryptocurrency" created since 2015 has been a pre-mine scam of some abstraction or another.
