That can happen. But if we go back to the Paxos and BUSD situation, owners of those tokens still have 1 year to get rid of them.

For now. No guarantee that won't change. And there are plenty of examples - Terra Luna for example - of centralized shitcoins becoming worthless or being frozen overnight.

I see potential problems in pressuring the community of volunteers in doing or implementing something they don't want to. Arrests, prosecution, and that sort of thing.

But even then, you simply can't force people to run software they don't want to. It's like the CSW nonsense for example. Even if he succeeds in getting a developer to code a method to allow him to steal Satoshi's coins, other developers won't merge it. And even if they do, nodes won't run it. He'll just end up forking himself off to BSV2 while bitcoin will continue on unaffected.

Whereas with centralized shitcoins (like BSV), if the owner decides to start stealing coins which aren't theirs, there is nothing you can do about it.

I haven't heard recent talks about large-scale mining bans. But I have no doubt that certain proposals lie in drawers in dark offices waiting for the perfect opportunity to be drawn out.

Meh, let them try. China banned mining and the hash rate dipped for all of what, a month?
