My point was that there's nothing stopping the government (or anyone with guns really) from seizing your crypto assets. With fiat currency, it's a given circumstance. With crypto, it's a false selling point. Not to mention how laughable it is how much centralized crypto has become over the past decade.

The largest and most sophisticated holders of crypto assets would be using multi signature wallets with a protocol between multiple private and secure participants. How does a gun allow you to seize private keys? We are back to they can threaten to kill you? But there is a problem, if they do they lose the keys also. Guns and weapons are massively less effective against crypto assets in comparison to traditional assets. If one owns a factory and doesn’t pay taxes, those guns work very well in comparison.
