The only way you can stop the government from having this power, is to hide the mining pools so the government can't find them (the servers).
Not only is this very possible, it is our civic duty to do so. Government employees must be shown their limitations to power that are already clearly laid out in the US Constitution.
The thing about Bitcoin is that there is no moral reason to ban it. In fact, it's just the opposite. Cash is used for violent crimes because it is untraceable and anonymous. Since paper money technology isn't banned, there is no worry that Bitcoin will be outlawed.
1. How many times do I have to repeat that
the government doesn't need to ban Bitcoin, as long as they can regulate it, tax, and confiscate their desired portion of the wealth (which is the what governments are always doing, nothing out-of-the-ordinary here). When I write "government can block your transaction by regulating the mining pools", I mean if you are not cooperating with the going to be very high confiscation (ahem I mean "tax") rates. Most of the people will cooperate and comply with government regulation (many of them are receiving government aid any way). It is the
people who have wealth that have to worry, i.e. if you are in "the 1%". The masses ("the 99%") are hunky-dory with government regulation.

I was confused by your statement regarding the blocking of private keys. It is very strange that you think government can have any control over Bitcoin at all. You seem to think you speak for most people. I disagree.
2. Government has a huge moral obligation to regulate Bitcoin to protect the public from fraud, theft, and tax evasion. And please realize the government is bankrupt and has an obligation to the public (e.g. unfunded promised future liabilities of the USA government to its constituents is $150+ trillion), so they will be increasing the portion of the wealth they confiscate each year. Governments will confiscate (ahem "tax") increasingly larger share of the GDP every year for next next couple of decades, because the global debt is $158+ trillion and the debt-to-GDP ratios are greater than 200% in every western nation on earth.
While probably factual, it is irrelevant. There is nothing in the US Constitution about any of this. I think Obama's last act will be to mint many One Trillion Dollar coins to pay off all debts. But my opinion is also irrelevant. Methinks this is a troll and I fell for it.
