iF you store your coins on a storage device not connected to a computer, maybe. As long as the government does not have access to the computer/phone the storage gets connected to, at any one time.

With state actors, you have to assume they have access/backdoors to most modern computing devices, and that device has to connect to the internet only twice - feds activate the backdoor and give it instructions, and have the device send the requested info back to the fed.

Minix being the most popular operating system, thanks to Intel-backdoor-on-a-chip, is only the tip of the iceberg.
