Bitcoin will never free us from governments, or even help alleviate poverty anywhere. It is supposed to be used as a supplement to existing financial framework that we have, which is fiat. It was never meant to topple fiat anyways, and those who think otherwise are completely delusional and straight up tripping. Also, in the aspect of 'control,' it simply means that we have the freedom to keep our assets somewhere without financial institutions and governments trying to influence it.
