It seems like Crypto can be taken away by the government. If the government orders you to give up your crypto they will just throw you in a cell until you comply. Or as it happening more and more often, a guy with a wrench persuades you to give it up.

They can't actually do that at a mass scale - they don't reliably know how much crypto any given person owns.

Ditto, if someone beats me with a wrench and I give them a password accessing $500 of crypto, what % of my stash have they just claimed? Do they stop or continue with the wrenching? What is the stopping condition here?

It blew my mind they did that with Gold in the US. It's really scary what were are capable of.

Only if you are "legible" to them.

Maybe barter should be better, then.
