I agree. How do you successfully enforce a seizure then forfeiture?

Most will cave when claims are levied. Most have not thought through what it means to have a broke sovereign knocking on your door.

Can people be forced to give keys? Or just threatened with prison and fines?

The latter. A proper self custody setup makes it impossible to seize Bitcoin.

Keep in mind that the gold 6102 did not force seize anyone's gold; it was an edict that NPCs simply complied with en masse. Fear is a hell of a thing.

In practice, is there any store of value asset easier to persecute its holdings than KYC coins?

Fiat in the bank - has no chance passing; not a SoV = not necessary

Real estate - too much hustle with logistics; same for gold.
