The point of crypto is to you from making rules about other people’s money. The state sponsored looting stunt the canadian government pulled off last year would be impossible with crypto. Likewise would PDT laws and similar regulations governing what other people can choose to risk.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoRandom, unsourced, singular examples do not an argument make. Try again. Btw how invested are you in crypto? Valid question, y'know, enumerating biases.

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoThis is mostly about tracing crypto transactions. I don't see how the government can't just seize your keys, or freeze/seize your exchange assets. I can think of ways around key seizure if you literally just memorise your keys, then only storing them encrypted. But now we're talking about some intensely tech and security savy antivax truckers here...
