>Crypto, outside of an exchange, means I can send money to anyone I want, and no other entity can prevent that. No, this is extremely false. The miners/stakers can prevent that by blacklisting your wallet address. You might be thinking of privacy coins which are a very small subset of cryptocurrencies that are hard to use because of the security requirements, and are extremely impractical for most people who aren't criminals, and they only really work correctly if everyone using them has perfect opsec which currently they don't. And also a powerful entity who really wants to stop you can still prevent your transactions just by attacking and disabling the network itself through traditional or non-technical means, such as infiltrating the foundation that manages the project.
