> So you think people will prefer to use worthless plastic/paper currencies that are continuously deflated by governments to fund war and oppression?

The currencies are continuously inflated, not deflated.

But either way, do you seriously think that governments won't simply use cryptocurrencies to fund both war and oppression if those cryptocurrencies ever become popular? Can you possibly be that naïve?

At best you'd decouple currency from government to make the concepts orthogonal, but Bitcoin won't get rid of oppression or war, let alone crime like theft and murder-for-hire.
