If you haven't noticed, Government is alright trying to control how we trade with exchanges now forcing people to first carry out KYC verification before using their platforms. I wasn't here when Bitcoin started, but I believe there was so much freedom trading Bitcoin back then than it is right now.
Some exchanges are also already being forced to delist certain privacy or anonymity leaning coins like DASH, Monero, ZEC. This all the same as what you just stated in the OP.
