No protection against a gun to your head? That seems pretty obvious.

  That works for digital money and cash too, there have been many cases where people get forced at gun point to take out money from ATMs. Cryptocurrencies have the unique protection that _nobody_ who does not have the keys can access the funds. No system by itself can protects against violence resulting in coerced access.

    > That works for digital money and cash too, there have been many cases where people get forced at gun point to take out money from ATMs. Not with the ease with which you can transfer an unbounded amount of crypto. Completely different situation. The lack of any kind of fraud or theft protection or need to physically access cash is a great reason to not ever cop to owning crypto.

      >The lack of any kind of fraud or theft protection You call it a bug I call it a feature. It's almost like no system is perfect and are perceptive to different threat models...
