This is a stupid idea, but what if there was a large theft of crypto, and everyone was upset about it? Then the government makes an announcement: "If you want to get your crypto back, then download this exe (elf/w/e) and run it on your computer." What does it do? It connects everyone to a mining pool that will reverse transactions if it goes above 50%. Extort some big mining farm owners, trick a bunch of people (kids with gaming rigs, I dunno) into running it. I don't know how practical that would be because it would probably need to be an international act, and also would help to have a new exploit released to go with it to build up a large botnet if some people can't be persuaded. I'm sure the 3 letters could help. Just say it's to remove crypto from Russia or something (doubt that would get China's help though unless they got something out of it).

I would call it the Spirit Bomb and name the pool Goku. I'm autstic.
