So I love Bitcoin and what it stands for; unfortunately, I don't believe it will be humanities savior as some of us hope. I was having a discussion with a buddy of mine about Bitcoin of why it could or could not succeed. One his major arguing points was that governments couldn't do anything about it since its a decentralized service. In my opinion governments could still shut it down if they truly wanted to. Couldn't governments just fingerprint all the Bitcoin nodes and just go to ISPs and tell them to block any traffic coming from such IPs. So even though they can't tell Bitcoin itself to stop they could stop underlying technologies Bitcoin uses. I just want to fact check my self to see if that is something that could actually happen and I'm not just spilling none-sense.
