If you were a government with the world’s most valued currency...and the desire to crush these folks trying to build an alternative, it would be so friggin’ easy.

Buy unlimited crypto at an unlimited price with printed digits. And keep buying to draw as many in as you could.

Then one day put it all on sale to the highest bidder. All of it. On the same day.

You would never be able to own it all. There are many who will never sell.

I don't really understand cryptocurrency, but I believe that one of the defining characteristics is that the supply is artificially finite, at least for BitCoin.
