Well, their narrative that the people propping up Gamestop stock are all white supremacists is already getting roundly mocked. If the extension of that narrative is to be that these people taking out a few hedge funds is enough to bring down the whole economy, it will only be further discredited. And narrative is the primary currency in our society. If their narrative is that weak they will soon lose all money and power.

It's too secure. It's permanently auditable. If we had blockchain a century ago we could trace back everything a presidential candidate had ever bought. All we'd need us his current wallet identified and we could follow backwards through every transaction.
This is excellent for votes, which is why they won't use it.
This is orwellian for money, which is why they will.
