Crypto was supposed to be a decentralized means of payment, to escape banks and governments regulation, now it seems governments are trying to take control of crypto and the internet.
[...] Remember the '90 s internet ... that was a free internet,remember bitcoin 2009 ,that was true crypto...

It's like that with anything, though, it's inevitable. For so long as a thing remains small and niche, governments aren't bothered. As soon as the money starts to build, governments get interested. Mainstream adoption of crypto can't happen without running into the regulators. Your example of 90s internet is relevant... it was smaller, didn't pervade society, and wasn't so lucrative... and so could remain freer.
