In the last 6 years of playing Terraria, I've only just now come across the Crimson. Is there a way to stop or slow down it's spread? Like Dayblooms versus the Corruption?

Also, Does a Crimson world negate Gold Ore? I've found 2, and they were in a Gold Chest on a Floating Island (along with Tungsten, Tin, and Led; all of which I have not found elsewhere in the world yet, and it's been a month).
