I expect USG to simply destroy it at some point with a sustained 51% attack.

- ahi 14y agoProbably harder than it sounds now. Last time I checked, miners run custom made ASIC rigs. It's no longer kids with cheap GPUs and ROIs north of 100%. The network is 20 Thash/s and growing. Getting up to 51% would take a major budget and sophisticated acquisitions and ops. While the USG could do it, it would likely cost way more than the cost of letting the bitcoin network live.
