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:

This is mostly about tracing crypto transactions. I don't see how the government can't just seize your keys, or freeze/seize your exchange assets. I can think of ways around key seizure if you literally just memorise your keys, then only storing them encrypted. But now we're talking about some intensely tech and security savy antivax truckers here...
