Word to the wise when it comes to govt actions like this:
If it's being announced that the Federal Govt, or any other govt for that matter, that they're "looking into" the feasibility or legality of forced seizures, then [they] ALREADY have things ready to launch and may even be quietly engaged in said practices.
Your crypto currencies were NEVER as safe or "fool proof" as you were led to believe.
After all, it's controlled by [them].
Happens all the time.
But it's actually not because the government has a back door or hidden control. People are just stupid and get caught because they don't understand its not private.
Not being private has a lot of its own drawbacks.
It exists electronically... it can be shut off
I don't think you have any idea how "it" works
It’s obvious that “it” will simply disappear - poof - into thin air in the absence of the internet.
LOL I don't think I have any idea how my computer, or electric guitar pickups, or DVR, or TV work, but I know if it's electronic it can be shut off
The unassailable logic of this continues to escape some people
Eletronic means it uses Electricity, but it doesnt mean it can be shut of because now it has no electricity.
As soon as you turn on your computer again, your computer works again, its still there, nothing lost.
"it can shut off" doesnt mean it'll disappear, just be... OFF, for as long as having access to ANY source of Electricity takes.
do you realize that "Internet stops" wont make anything disappear, right? ALL information, EVERYWHERE, is still on Hard Drives, and simply connection to another network would mean that everything still works?
Bitcoin isn't stored on "the internet", because "the internet" only stores information being passed along it, which arrives at the location and is either used and trashed or stored on a Hard Drive.
ALL CRYPTO ARE SAFE FROM A GRID SHUTDOWN.
Wow just think the government could end child porn just by flipping a switch.
Just shut off the internet.
Poof. All gone. All nations complied. Clean slate. Nothing stored anywhere offline.
(Are you starting to comprehend the load stupid you just excreted?)
I get that part, and it's impressive... in a fair, un-corrupt world.
But it's electronic / so access can be denied, Did you know that there a chips in just about every piece of hardware between you and everything else?
Your encryption key is a file, the coins are files, files can be corrupted
And "off" was probably a bad choice of words I could've used, gone, poof, oops, a million other words that mean you can't get at it.
Plus every .com .edu whatever is registered to the government. If the government wants to get between you and your money they will. What good is your house key or fancy security system when the building has been burned to the ground, bulldozed over and there's a army posted there?
What if every node were shut down electronically via backdoors or just plain old brute force?
Only way I can see them getting hardware wallets is if they can track who purchased the coins through an exchange .. but then how do they find out if they were moved to a hardware wallet?
Crypto is really made for web 3.0. Tjey won't be able to touch it.
Correct
Inb4 crypto shills.
They have been working overtime this week.
Or, or, the Cabal can’t control the interest, profits, deposits, withdrawals, or from what country the money is coming from. And so they neeeeeeed/want to get control of crypto as they have no control over it so far.
What do the Cabal do to get control? They make crypto appear nefarious and as public champions, they law and tax it into their system and control.
What I think as I read the Cabal’s behavior toward Crypto; it’s truly that they can’t get control of it totally. So the Cabal has decided to scare everyone out of Crypto. And they again do it by threats, bans, taxes, and legislation to make Crypto into a bad investment. They’ve used these strategies over and over, country by country with all of our precious metas and natural resources. Shoving and scaring people to stay with fist money instead of any new monies
They don't need to scare everyone out of it.
Conspire with other world governments to shut down all exchanges, and it dies. You won't be able to use it to buy food, gas, a video game, nothing, and then it becomes useless as a currency.
They have demonstrated control over said governments across the planet. They do not have to "scare" anyone out of it.
They want to tax it and gain enough control of it to ensure that it's not a direct competitor with their goals of a cashless society.
