if we're talking a full-on adversarial " we are disintermediating the trillion dollar rent seekers who run the world" then I don't think it's absurd to suggest they would just throw you in a cage until you cough up your Bitcoin.
the current crop of new coiners seems to believe they're just going to quietly fade into irrelevance.
that is incredibly naive.
