If even one single UTXO is frozen, burned, confiscated, or -a more appropriate term- stolen as a result of a BIP and, post seizure, a person can produce the rightful keys to claim even one of those UTXOs

It should be within that persons rights to sue in civil court and/or press criminal charges on the individuals who were participatory in that outcome

Hard to find grounds for legal enforcement. But I agree with the sentiment.

Agree

In reality, though, it should never become technically feasible.

Agree

The US government seized Silk Road and prince group bitcoins… they auctioned the Silk Road coins off.

Should Ross Aldricht get his coins back?…

lots of my friends from my died from fentanyl overdoses. Purchased with bitcoin/silkroad.

Should someone get be “sued”?.

This was not the result of a BIP

But, yes… civil asset forfeiture is theft

Holy shit my typing is bad. Sorry😂

I guess my point is- how do we expect a court system, based on fiat debt slavery to inflict punishment on a decentralized system?.

So we pay tax on our bitcoin and that pays for the court and prison system?. Or we just continue to perpetuate a fiat system that imposes justice for blockchain crimes?

(In my opinion) the military, cops and courts are convenient levers to extort and intimidate the population. These are the people you want enforcing crypto “law”?.

Not sure I agree

Personally, I think we should have no government enforcing anything

In which case the rightful heir could choose violence against the thieves

I am ready to accept this alternative. Are you?

Get real. You may not care about a central government, but they sure do care about you…

Who decides who the “rightful heir” is?… without a court system.?.

I could “choose violence” against my “thieves”. Or I could just lie and say they are thrives.

Without a government to enforce anything.🤷‍♂️…

I hope you have enough $ to afford private security in a world with no government. I don’t really think you are ready to accept the alternative…

I disappear into the woods for multiple days at a time. For fun…computers are toys.

I don’t need computers to live.

Your cyber punk fantasy kinda disappears without electricity and central government protection of your tech assets. We are entering an age in which human rights are being devoured by technology.

You seem more like a lever than a hammer. I love being wrong thou.

Okay?

1) I already pay for private security at event WITH a government

2) the heiress in my hypothetical is decided by who can sign with the appropriate private keys - no government necessary, whole point of bitcoin

3) I’m going to start billing for these conversations

Hardware? Electronics?. We don’t make it here. Controlled by real world governments with nuclear weapons.

Billing?.😂 “sats”. 🤓.

Your awesome. Such a cocky douche bag thou. Stay cyber pony girl.
