no good. beyond using a VPN and dnssec, how can end users protect themselves from this?

no. physical currencies have a more complex formula on a good "cost vs use" ratio. it's usually many years of use to justify spending any amount of resources on a physical currency, otherwise the currency would collapse under its own weight of having to create itself
