Bitcoin's usage would go down, legitimate businesses would disappear. Legislation like this is not likely to happen, but this techno-hubris "Governments can't touch us, because we use smart technologies!" is quite ridiculous.

No, the cost would certainly go up, the price would go to shit because it has no intrinsic value to anyone unlike heroin addicts who need their fix.
