I'm just saying that the scale of those cuts matters in the analysis. How many billion dollars of paychecks have been frozen?

Scale doesn't matter. Control matters. Who controls this controls me and that's not OK at any scale.

When I want protection I put my money in my bank, when I want ownership I do crypto.

I’m aware that not every crypto would do that. I’m quite sure the BTC won’t get frozen.

Just saying. A non government controlled currency would help to a fairer less corrupt place, but that’s not what crypto is used for.

Imagine a world where governments can’t just print money to save reckless companies.

We would probs have less oligarchy

I'm lost, are you arguing against Binance or against freezable crypto? Both "control" you! There are like three billion dollars out there in presumably-north-Korean-hands that their owners thought they "controlled". They didn't.

So given the choice, yeah, I'd like some safety please.
