We can never guarantee that governments will not make it illegal to use bitcoin in a pseudonymous way. Depending on technology we can make it more or less difficult.
For example, It is much harder to limit the freedom of individuals than it is to limit the freedom companies are allowed to give customers.
Further, torrenting is a good example of technology making legislation inefficient even if it actually becomes illegal for individuals.
