Governments could easily use private data to blackmail or silence you, even if you’ve done nothing illegal.

Governments could also easily freeze bank accounts, even if you've done nothing illegal.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin directly mitigate (if not outright prevent) that risk.

Governments can also violate all your other rights as well. But this completely irrelevant to the post I responded to.

I did not imply that it was.
