1- Crypto is made to evade government control.

2- Government are there to ensure law and order.

Result:

Crypto is a great tool to evade law and order

Governments will have to control crypto or governments will stop working

I'd say crypto is made to remove government control on money, not to evade law and order. That's certainly doable, but you can also evade law and order with normal fiat currency (ex: HSBC laundering billions of dollars for cartels).

Yay, anarchy.

The half-life of anarchy is measured in hours. Then the gangs show up. Gangs are basically governments, except even less responsive to your needs and more openly committed to enriching their own leadership.

You got the first part right... Governments are gangs....

However I have to completely disagree that governments are responsive to anyone needs, or that they are not committed to their own enrichment
