Most banking and transaction history has been trackable and can pretty much be accessed by the government when and if they do please. I'd argue that such searching into personal property records should require a warrant, but alas with evil shitheads in control, they'll do what they want.
"Money" is simply a representation of value, and that value is based on trust. Gold, silver, clamshells, tulips, "digital accounting notes", doesn't really matter what "it" is... all just mediums.
In concept, crypto is essentially universal gift certificates, similar to prepaid Visa debit cards for instance. So long as the issuer of the "gift cards" are backed by legally recognized currency and merchants are willing to accept said "gift cards" then there's really nothing the government can do to stop them. This is why governments are trying to move away from paper and move to digital currency. Blockchain technology is far superior to any other security measures.
