I can write anything i want into the bitcoin chain for $1 and all the computing power in the world wouldnt be able to undo it after a few days.
Even quantum computing can't touch it (though can trivially work out my private keys).
Many people throughout history can and have been censored, don't see that changing soon.
The bitcoin blockchain is a modern technological wonder without anyone really appreciating the power at their disposal.
Using it only for transactions now is like hiring a tank so you can go get money out from an atm. Predict eventually use cases will come into their own.
