its pseudonymous only if you use non kyc coins and transact to non kyc addresses as well.  Everything else is a surveillance paradise.

Only that it isn't, it's pseudo-anonymous and only ever being able to adhere to a surveillance states "wet dream" by forcing the whole thing into a centrally enforced environment which would defeat any reason for using it in the first place. 

You can break Bitcoin, but you can't enforce and mold it into a central actor's wet dream (IMHO) without making the whole thing obsolete, and thus, the whole undertaking pointless in the first place if you're not trying to break it.

Can Bitcoin enslave us all?

Yeah, and in China there were cases were people have had their doors welded shut as a means to keep them in. 

If Big Daddy gov wants to, it can take the air out of Bitcoin's tyres, but IMHO not without some immensely hard to back-up laws and moves on their citizens - All those efforts for a big "*nothing burger*" like Bitcoin?

I Doubt it.

IMHO They'll make some moves, but nothing quite strong enough to really make a dent - and suddenly it's too big to ban, pushing them to work *with* it, rather than *against* it.
