If they had control over Bitcoin they would not be taking measures like this.

Doesn’t look too good with news like this:

Their crypto is safe and fully accessible, they just can't easily convert it to fiat without access to bank accounts. If crypto was mass adopted, they can easily use it.
Is it really FULLY accessible without access to bank accounts? How does that work?
The crypto is accessible, yes. But converting to fiat is not. It's like being in Ottawa with an ounce of gold. The gold is worth $1,900. You have the gold. No one is taking the gold away from you. But little to no stores in Ottawa will accept gold as payment without first converting to fiat.
So the options are to have stores start accepting crypto as payment. Or to find peer to peer sales of the crypto to fiat. Just like if you had an ounce of gold on you.
Yes, no one can takeover your BTC private key - the only option is to coerce it from you.
Truckers can always transact BTC as a peer-to-peer system. Nigerians did this last year when their government outright banned it.
Nigerian prince?
And there's ways around that, could always trade it to someone else who uses fiat to buy stuff for you.
Exactly. Adds another step, but still some options.

Thanks for the link. I sure hope people here is the US are paying attention. The enemy has been wargaming these scenarios for years. We must do the same. It will start by finding ways to operate while reducing digital footprints. There are people in Sweden that have been finding ways to get around an almost cashless digital society. We could take a few lessons from them.
This ongoing struggle in Canada is showing us exactly what they plan to do here in the US if the need arises. They already have their next moves planned and are ready to implement them. The very same financial choke points will be used here that will stop any means of exchange in order to control us. That means the banks, crypto, and any other digital means of transferring "money." Don't think for one minute they are not already tracking the flow of money here to know exactly where they need to target and who. That is why DHS and others have been releasing statements labeling us as terrorists - because they are already in the process of building their dragnet. There were plenty of Americans that had their information hacked along with the Canadians. Patriots need to start thinking outside of the box if we are going to harden ourselves for the maneuvers they are sure to use against us.
Thanks for your informative reply—always glad to learn more.
