I like more of PoS Coins.

Technically killing Bitcoin is possible, this could be achieved by simply forcing ISPs to block the 8332 port, this will kill Bitcoin, even if you would change the port this would create two forks and confusion and incompatibility between the new and old software.... it would be a whole mess and the end of Bitcoin as you know it.
Sure about that? I ran a full node with port 8332 blocked for about a year with no problems.
blocked... and full node!!! I will assume that you don't know what you are talking about.
You can buy a static IP and have the port open on your host.
Edit: where will you buy it from? what part of force ISP don't you understand ?
1. Nodes using tor that wouldn't be affected.
2. Easy to change ports in the conf file.
1- nodes that use tor are connected to the internet through ISP that eventually block the port.
2- changing the port (I have to check if this is possible though) in your config and everyone's config will result to a dead network, got it ? think about it
But what if we add a random port to client (like torrent)?
And how to make all ISPs in world collaborate for blocking the port?
