I thought crypto wallets were secure?
Feds are able to simply seize wallets?
Are they saying this to undermine crypto security?

Story has hit mainstream news now.
Trump has come out against it. Dorsey has come out in favor of it. FBI has shown assets can be seized (not even the first time) and frankly, to tell you what I'm partial to, it's things I can hold in my hand. Namely brass, copper and gun powder. After that? Silver and Gold. Mentioned since you might actually be a Brit and won't have access to the former.
If you want the covid vaccine, I don't really care if you get it. If you want cryptocurrency, I don't really care if you get it. Just don't say you weren't warned when you get bitten on the ass as a result of either outcome, whether it's Pfizer brand Myocarditis or Jack Dorsey dumping Bitcoin stock overnight to devalue it when the going gets tough.
Also I wouldn't trust anything internet based to be "secure." Did you know your smartphone is a giant bug? So is your computer. "Crypto security" is bullshit, unless you're using bottlecaps lmao.
I am aware of security issues with electronics but I don't know a lot about crypto.
I thought part of the attraction was the security.
I guess that's not the case.
