I consider myself a cryptocurrency enthusiast (I regularly browsed bitcointalk forum since 2013, even if I did not buy anything until 2015), but I have no problem with, nor fear about, governments managing money: what I'm interested in cryptocurrencies on the long run is to replace banking services for individuals, which I find to be of lesser and lesser quality with the years.
But I get why you think this is "all crypto currency enthusiasts", given cryptoanarchists are a prominent group. The distinction was clear during the fail of the DAO [1] from ethereum in 2016. When ethereum core devs decided to fork to revert the blockchain and "erase" the steal, there was basically two groups of people: those who were happy that it meant fraud can be dealt with (a not-so-small minority group, which I was in) and those who thought it meant manipulation, regulation, intervention, everything they despise from governments.
Granted, the later are way more numerous, but please don't assume it's just all cryptocurrency enthusiasts :)
