Ethereum

One man’s problems are another man’s greatest asset. Ethereum (and other blockchains) is a network where adversaries such as US and North Korea can operate at the same time. This is a feature not a bug. Taking this a step further, alliances and treaties should involve skin in the game: ie you stake a percentage of your federal reserves to guarantee you will keep your promise (weather this is a military alliance or any time of state level agreements) if you don’t, you lose your stake and tank your economy.

That's the beauty of those networks, on the one hand you can perform the biggest heist in history and launder the proceeds with a tumbler, but on the other, your on-chain footprint will be there forever to haunt your reputation. I don't think anyone should get away with this, hence why I alluded to having skin in the game.

no, thank you! this is exactly the type of reply I was hoping for!

I guess I was trying to find a parallel to PoS networks. But now that I think about it, sanctions are kind of mimicking the slashing part. And they're definitely not an effective deterrent.
