Separately from the rest of your comment, I think you should look into how crypto was used in the trucker situation - it did not work at all, iirc a lot of money just vanished

I'm certainly interested, but a source would be helpful. If they're using an anonymous crypto I'd expect all the money to vanish.

    You should be aware that Coingeek is a propaganda site for a known charlatan. Any claim that Wright invented bitcoin should give it away immediately. His claims have been repeatedly, cryptographically proven false, for close to 10 years now: https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2015/12/11/bitcoin-creator-satoshi-craig-wright-lies-hoax/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2015/12/11/bitco... https://www.vice.com/en/article/jpgq3y/satoshis-pgp-keys-are-probably-backdated-and-point-to-a-hoax https://www.vice.com/en/article/jpgq3y/satoshis-pgp-keys-are... He is trying to use courts around the world to bully bitcoin developers into writing code that gives him 1.1 million bitcoin for free. So of course he'd like to spread the idea that governments have control over it. Jesse Powell's point was not that governments can control bitcoin - it was that governments can control exchanges under their jurisdiction. Kraken cannot seize your coins if you keep them in self-custody. Kraken is not responsible for you - you are responsible for yourself.
