This is one of the things that scares me about most about completely anonymous currencies and networks: untraceable kill orders and, to a lesser extent, unlimited bribery (that already exists in US). Because you know, it opens the most possibilities to people with money. Like billionaires.

I suspect billionaires and other people of high authority, especially, would be the first ones on the list. But your average everyday person is very unlikely to be on the list because they don't have enough people who hate them.

We need a black market gofundme so we can crowd source hits to keep up.

I'm not sure we would outweigh them - you know the statistics, almost half the wealth (potential kill orders) is held by top 1.1%.
