I don't understand the intent of this discussion.

Sure, it's possible to "kill bitcoin" by strangling network connections. You can also attack piracy and kill p2p by fundamentally changing how networks work. Does this seem plausible?

It's probably possible and much easier to move bitcoin to a seedy, underground marketplace by outlawing bitcoin, putting the squeeze on exchanges, etc.

what do you mean with "strangling network connections", it mean you close the connection? ddos them?

I was trying to paraphrase what the OP said (and what slaveforanunnak1 described as horse shit):

First, create laws requiring interception of all traffic at the ISP level.

Second, lets give it a fictional name, like 'No Shitty Attacks' or NSA for short.

Place 'NSA Killbox' between ISP and the world. Switch to record mode.

This means A box between YOUR isp, and the rest of the world. Nothing you can do about this.

Linux users probably think they are cool and can bypass this.. no they cant. They think they can use TOR or some other ip spoofing method.. THIS is an illusion. Yeah it hides your ip from other end users, but YOUR isp has YOUR ip, period. Notice we are all given static ip's now? These are postcoded. Geo tagging is applied to ALL packets leaving YOUR pc at the ISP level, they can now decide where to send ALL packets using strict filtering rules.

When it's decided bitcoin is a threat to the security of any MAJOR country, they can force the isp to re-route p2p traffic to a dns dead end. At this point they can be clear and say, you want passed here, your paying for it.. This is how to tax bitcoin.
