I didn't think bitcoin wasn't going to be special in that regard either, because states have shown ability to tax and regulate the finance of citizens before anything electronic ever existed, with cash, gold, cows, farmland, personal goods and more, and they would just go back to those old methods with something like bitcoin or monero. Also they're willing to add a lot of inefficiency to their economies to retain financial control of their countries.
