> Ban cryptocurrencies.

This is meant sincerely, not glibly: How? How can cryptocurrencies be banned in any meaningful sense?

We can "ban" them in a legal sense ("Use of cryptocurrencies are illegal after 1 Jan 2022"), great. But how can they be practically banned so long as computers themselves are not invaded by governments to observe every detail of their operation and private overlay networks are still technically feasible?
