Civil asset forfeiture is purely evil. That said, the whole point of bitcoin is P2P and permissionless. They can call my coins guilty all they want, but they can’t actually seize them without my consent.

Actually this would indeed affect almost every fucking UTXO, even from exchanges, because the majority of tx could be linked on its way from the coinbase to your wallet to a "crime".

If an exchange by chance ever accepted tainted coins, ALL coinjoins out of that tx will be considered illegal.

This would be a nuke.

Sure. And guess what happens when EVERYBODY is guilty of a crime? It’s nasty and dirty and corrupt and they arrest you just because they want to- which happens already, or it’s unenforceable. In any case, they can’t get cold storage coins without consent. If the goal is protecting my assets, Bitcoin fixes this.
