Governments and central banks could kill Bitcoin for weeks with pocket change, just to ensure it never provides a better value than SWIFT, ACH, Western Union or whatever. A tiny fraction of the War on Drugs Budget and the War on Terroism budget could make Bitcoin as unreliable as a third world power grid.

They want to paint a big, fat, ripe target on the current centralised bloated financial systems, well tit-for-tat may not look so pretty for centralised bloatware coming out the other side.
Run your "nash equilibrium" BS up that flag pole?
