This discussion is originally about comparing bitcoin to gold. OP is saying bitcoin's security is equivalent to the underlying crypto protocols which is clearly false as there is a finite amount of computers on Earth to render it worthless.
Nation states don't bother attacking bitcoin because there's little payoff relative to the cost. However, if we suppose there's a hostile country that held their central bank reserves in bitcoin, wouldn't that make a compelling case for the US government to invest in such infrastructure so that they can cripple them like they did with Russia?
Sure, but they could not. Watch that video above. Andreas is right on the money as always.
This was designed this way. No government can stop this. It is a force beyond that which can be controlled. Some people find this thought troubling, and look look to suppress it. It is ultimately futile.
