Governments can ban Bitcoin et al but Bitcoin use depends upon 1.) a computer/smartphone and 2.) Internet access. With the use of anonymizing Virtual Private Networks, private access of Bitcoin wallets becomes possible even with Internet servers being blocked to certain websites.

Since day one people have talked about the inability of overreaching governments to stop Internet use, including Bitcoin. There will be credit card companies in other countries willing to take Bitcoin and issue fiat currency to the service provider of choice, including across borders. It's the digitization of the Muslim practice of Hawala with thousands of "brokers" in every city across the world.

Much like the "great firewall of China" and Soviet-style one-person, one-Internet-link system, there will always be government desire to control every penny of everyone's currency. There will also be those moving around such control. But the real underlying problem, the abuse of the system itself, the ridiculous laws to restrict and drain individual wealth, are still being fought against. Bitcoin is merely a step towards leaving the old system for a new one.
