weaving spiders come not here
The client and the p2p network is not dependent on domains
but all the exchanges, forums, bitcoin casinos are dependent.
What would be if the domains bitcointalk.org, mtgox.com, bitcoin.it, blockchain.info, bitcoin.org and another 20 bitcoin domains would be seized ?

Then they would open up under non-US controlled domains.

Yeah. Or people can start using IP's. The internet would find a way.

Or we could all start memorizing random 9 digit strings, that could work too.

Yeah, this would be a problem... If Bitcoin relied on domain names.

Everybody is so scared about a 51% attack on the Bitcoin chain, but that would cost a lot of money for the attacker but there is another attack possibility from the authorities without any costs.
