According to this excerpt from the book, the U. S. government could "shut down #Ethereum .
That is, it could simply ask Amazon Web Services (AWS) to shut down its cloud service.
The book also suggests that a terrorist group could kidnap Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and force him to release as much Ether as they want.
Interestingly, both theories outlined in the book were immediately refuted and Balchunas removed the post from the online space.
First, Ethernodes claims that AWS, as a hosting provider, only serves about 28.4% of Ethereum nodes. Therefore, even if AWS shuts down its cloud services, it will not be enough to shut down the entire network.
the takeover, Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano expressed his displeasure. He called Balchunas' post "absolutely blatant misinformation and almost complete propaganda.
Mr. Sassano said that Mr. Balchunas' actions were extremely irresponsible, saying I should be very ashamed that I shared it (and deleted it only because I didn't want to communicate with people who criticized me).
Bartunas' post drew criticism from all sides, and Jimmy Lagosa, product manager at Consensys, had something to say. In Lagosa's opinion, the excerpts shared by Balchunas reek of propaganda in its grandest form.
As noted above, Balchunas deleted the post. Meanwhile, Ethereum developers will continue to use solo-stacking and low hardware requirements to further decentralize the blockchain.
