It is silly if by "escape government control" one means avoiding taxes, buying illegal substances, etc.
But if by "escape government control" one means a currency that the government cannot interfere with to censor/stop transactions, or a currency that cannot be debased on the government's whim, the public ledger is exactly why bitcoin can do what it does.
