Who controlls the blacklist? A black list is essentially a tool to drain anyone's wallet

On the contrary, it will increase the value of your assets due to less coins in circulation.

Governments could easily mandate such blacklists to be used (in fact, assuming you are a US person, you are already barred from interacting with certain addresses, see the treasury link above), I think it's only a matter of time until this happens. And compared to the fiat currencies, such requirements are much easier to verify, at least in non-private digital currencies.
