The wild thing to me with this "unseizable" fantasy is that it in practice opens the door for far more property loss. Scams, phishing, hacking, market manipulation, fraud, corporate malfeasance (e.g. SBF), ransomware and other sorts of fraud and theft are rampant in the cryptocurrency space.
Your government may not be able to seize your property from you, but they also can't seize your property back from criminals. And they still know where you live and have guns, so I'm not sure how much unseizability is gained.
- darth_avocado 4y agoSomething can only be “Unseizable” if it’s not real. Change my mind.
- adolph 4y agoAre ideas in your mind real enough?
- darth_avocado 4y agoIdeas can be seized.
- adolph 4y agoMost often I am seized by an idea rather than vice versa

- khuey 4y agoI would go with "not tangible" rather than "real" but I think I agree.
- geysersam 4y agoMaybe "more or less" unseizable is the better concept. Try to "seize" the belief in the death and resurrection of Christ from one billion believers (or even from one sufficiently devoted). Even if the story isn't real, it has very real and tangible consequences. A painting is seizable. But if it is simple enough, it can be recreated from memory. How could you seize it? Ultimately it depends on what you care about. Often we care about seizable things. But not everything is seizable.
