I think he ment the price could be crashed (i.e Dumping all the Silk Road coins)
The price would quickly recover...
Agreed, but he said "Govt isn't afraid of Bitcoin at all, they can crash it (to sub-decimal levels) anytime they want"
That sounded a lot more "final".
That's why I asked what other logic he may be using, because at best, thats a temporary "attack", and they'd still have reason to fear it after.
