I am sorry to break it to you, but: 1. Politicians make the rules, and the rules can dictate the seizure of the places that offer the government-free version of Bitcoin. (Well, for now the governments may not agree to cooperate on this, but the scenario has realistic prospects.) In this way the governments gets access to Bitcoin's evolution. After this, they can in time change it in wherever way they want and make it at some point incompatible with government-free versions. Mind you, that the bulk of the Bitcoin users will update their version from the most seemingly trusting source, which may be government's. 2. Don't underestimate people in this overly-motivating subject. And the motivated people can become very ingenious. 3. I am not sure if there can be a reason for censorship (a powerful actor can act in other ways against the undesired Bitcoin users), but what it is possible is to learn to filter out Bitcoin activity in particular or everything unknown in general. What is this binary stream? Encryption? Want privacy? Here's the government-provided solution that assures you (government-surveyed) privacy! ;)
