No, his point seems to be that bitcoin can be transferred without the approval or moral judgement imposed by a third party (e.g. bank).

Try sending $1B around the world to your Nigerian uncle and seeing what happens.

Various governments will be more than happy to apply their large resources to a $1B Bitcoin transaction if they can find a hint that it's in their jurisdiction.

They most certainly will... But at least the money was sent.

Nothing they can do to stop that.
