No, but only if your suitcase will only open if unlocked by a cryptographically secure key and no one can open it through other methods. They can't steal the suitcase itself either. And you can instantly teleport the contents of your suitcase to an equivalent suitcase held by any other individual on the planet. And third parties can't arbitrarily devalue the contents of your suitcase by printing more of it.

I'd argue none of the above apply to Diem actually. I'm definitely referring to traditional, actual blockchains
> [..] no one can open it through other methods

... other than https://xkcd.com/538/ ?

That still counts as using the key to open it :)
