I match your accusation of misunderstanding human nature, and raise it an accusation of profound naivety. If blockchains actually start being used for economically or socially productive or valuable functions then they will be regulated. Suppose you sell something and the transaction is logged on a blockchain, that's immutable right? It's right there in the ledger, nothing anyone can do about it. It's immune from governmental interference right? Say a court invalidates the transaction, maybe they think you lied to the counter-party, nothing they can do, right? The blockchain doesn't lie. Except they can prosecute you, fine you, imprison you, confiscate your property, pursue you to the ends of the earth and even kill you. If the transaction was an NFT, they can just directly modify the resource the NFT refers to. If it's bitcoin, they can fine you equivalent value in real world money and assets, or if they can be bothered to care about the bitcoin at all they can legally coerce you into transferring the bitcoin back. It's like the scene in Game of Thrones where Little Finger tells Cersei that knowledge is power and only barely survives at her pleasure because presumably she was in a good mood. No. Power is power.
