Again, any nation could kill BTC by creating a state subsidized transaction network with a touch of pseudo-anonymity and other desirable features, thus resolving the the environmental concerns.
]]>Summery :
Almost all your concerns are addressable by nation states simply accepting that BitCoin like currency represents a reality check on their corrupt central banking, law enforcement, etc. policies though. There is however an enormous problem with BitCoin's Gini coefficient and the inequality large scale adoption would create.
We should therefore create a "lefty coin" that encodes progressive ideas about inflation, etc. into the currency structure. In this way, nation that eventually make their national currencies emulate bitcoin, except without the wasted electricity, etc., will have a progressive model to follow rather than a crazy libertarian one.
