What makes you think that?
Outlawing Bitcoin holdings for regular citizens would be a heavy blow and IMO massively set back adoption.
IMO the people who're arguing: "But there's no (easy) way for governments to enforce/seize."
Regular citizens usually don't want to be doing illegal stuff, regardless of how easy it is for the government to enforce.
Just making it illegal - even if they can't immediately identify all violations - will give them a legal lever on everyone who might sometime later be identified.
I think regular citizens are not only important in this issue, they're key. My current view is that Bitcoin only has a chance if regular citizens have (enough) Bitcoin and will thus vote against 6012 policies/politicians.
