The point of crypto is to you from making rules about other people’s money. The state sponsored looting stunt the canadian government pulled off last year would be impossible with crypto. Likewise would PDT laws and similar regulations governing what other people can choose to risk.

Random, unsourced, singular examples do not an argument make. Try again.

Btw how invested are you in crypto? Valid question, y'know, enumerating biases.

If you want to climb down an antivaxx rabbit hole, go waste someone else's time.

As for dollars, I hold zero. Same for bitcoin, ethereum, ScamCoin, and RugPullCoin. Your turn. Defensive are we?

I don’t care what you think about vaccines. It’s a question of whether or not you believe force is only justified in response to force, which you clearly don’t. So as I was saying, crypto does a great job of keeping your fingers off of other people’s wallets.
Do you think crypto is somehow immune to use of force?

And how about those holdings?

Not immune, but close. Hear it from the government themselves:
