    As @schooner said ethereum uses POS which is environmentally friendly as it uses 99% less energy than the old POW mechanism.

    Also yes the account could be blocked but the crypto wallet can’t be. As far as tracking goes nothing stops as user selling on am exchange amd then purchasing more from another. Tracking is effectively stopped at that point.

      Proof of stake might conserve power but it is the final evolution of cryptocurrency into a pure pyramid scheme.

      I don’t see how anyone is ok with the value of their currency being validated and effectively controlled by the people that have the most of said currency. I can’t imagine people with more clear conflicts of interest in mantaining an honest value of the currency.
