You don't have to make it illegal for everyone. Just make it illegal to build out data centers to mine crypto.

For those at home, if you want to jack up your electricity bill, then go for it.

Like Drug Wars? Have the armed people raid ware houses containing crypto miners instead of drug labs or plant farms...
