Great piece as usual, Anthony. I totally agree with everything you say.
IMO the one thing that would prevent nation states from ever wanting to attack Ethereum is their own interest. The more banks, corporations, and nation states use Ethereum for settling financial, commercial, and bureaucratic transactions, the more interested nation states will be in preserving Ethereum's health.
I am not sure that nation states have the monopoly of power (or not for any longer).
Some private companies can have more than nation states.
In the future, some communities might also have more than nation states AND private companies (although the concept of nation state may have diverged at that point).

This is a great point and I agree - let's make them all rely too much on Ethereum to attack it ;)
