Governments have seized cryptos, they do not give you protection, they do not help you escape taxes. In the end, they have more guns and can enforce the law, in addition to most people in society having expectations about rules around money

[ClapperHeid]

They've seized cryptos from exchanges and from impounded computers. They can't seize them if you haven't got them on an exchange and you have your secret keys well hidden.

[verdverm]

You hand them over because it's better than being in jail...
