An ultimately shows that Crypto is in fast still under governmental control, negating the last remaining advantage it had.

Definitely the large volume on-ramps and off-ramps yes.

I think their biggest mistake was believing open ledgers were anonymous. They're clearly not.

Still, eventually you need to swap it back to FIAT. And, as mentioned in the article, these crypto exchanges are under governmental control.
