> block reward is the incentive for miners/stakers to operate a decentralized network. It is not a separate concept

The moment that reward becomes a currency, and is traded for U.S. dollars, it leaves the domain of just being software. Banning that is quite different from banning the software per se.

> an irrelevant comparison attempting to moralize software by comparing it to a weapon

Comparing Bitcoin to free software seems similarly disingenuous.
