Even with Bitcoin, addresses can be blacklisted (i.e. anyone who transacts with that address with go to prison) if they are not registered with KYC.

you're wrong about that

there are many many ways to make it impossible to be sure if funds originated from blacklisted addresses, and further techniques will improve this in future

so why not extend your optimism to Bitcoin's personal sovereignty properties also? all you have to do is learn how it's done, easy

I am optimistic about Bitcoin, and I'm optimistic about the government's curent and future stance on Bitcoin.

The way things are going, it doesn't look like the main powers are going to try to go to war against Bitcoin.

These countries, UK and European neighbours, USA, China, Russia - they are too busy competing with each other to combine their forces and focus on Bitcoin.
