It's good to consider the possibility. I don't think the government will attempt this, though. BlackRock and Larry Fink have too much to lose, and Larry is practically a cabinet member at this point.
I hope you're right, but I fear it might just mean that BlackRock will enter the mining industry and few others will be allowed to operate. It's the closest a nation can get to being able to censor transactions.
