This point is a tired falsehood. There have always been phenomena with physical rules that supersede any human decision. The legal system recognizes and works with such boundaries - some even end up codified in our highest laws such as the 5th amendment.

We're only in this present quandary because of professionally irresponsible "web 2.0 services" that siloed up user data for their own surveillance goals, creating enticing targets for governments' desires of control.

When everything is decentralized, it's going to be much harder to enforce any rules about no-crypto. For now things like social networks are cenetralized, leading to all these temptations to mine the data. It's not just government who wants youd data - it's every organization!
