Because they gained physical access to the machines holding the coins? Surely you understand the difference there right?
If all of your money is being held by random companies, it's not really your money is it? Cryptocurrencies give you all the autonomy of cash, while still allowing you to send it to anyone over the internet.

- jsjohnst 2y ago> Because they gained physical access That’s the very definition of “taken” isn’t it?
- mlrtime 2y agoGet a wallet, store the phrase in your head, how are they going to get physical access?
- jsjohnst 2y agoInject you with some sodium thiopental and then further use a $5 wrench as needed for motivation. ;)
- npoc 2y agoThen you give them the keys to your other wallet that contains enough for plausible deniability.

- npoc 2y agoWell reality should know that someone can obtain any of your property via drugs and torture. But through multi-sig, time-locked contracts, multiple wallets, bitcoin is more difficult than most.
- jsjohnst 2y ago> reality should know that someone can obtain any of your property There you go, was that so hard? Bitcoin isn’t some magical panacea, the reality is it’s as easily stolen/taken/lost in 99% of cases as anything else. Sure, there might be some ultra tiny percentage of folks who are truly secure with it, but there is virtually the _same_ number who are ultra secure with other non-bitcoin stored value systems.
- npoc 2y agoI assume you haven't read/seen "The Great Taking"?
