Re: How do you stop someone forcing you to hand over your private key and taking allIf they know for sure that you have a lot of Bitcoins and are willing to torture you to get them, you are pretty much screwed.
This kind of thing happens to bank managers/rich people where they are forced to withdraw money from banks etc, it's called
tiger kidnapping.If you're worried about something like this happening. Step up your personal security. Get a gun etc.
The government has more guns than you do...no, you will not be tortured if you own BTC
Will you guarantee that no one will be
imprisoned/tortured for "financial crimes"1 if they fail to comply with government orders to turn over their private keys?
I want you to make an asshat for yourself so we can enshrine your post later when it is proven that you were incorrect.

Re: Trezor security
Regarding the privacy I believe that unless there is a way to detach/decouple the physical world with the cripto world there is no way to protect you against being tracked on block chain.
in the end of the day if you spend your bitcoin you connect yourself with somebody else. Tumblers/Mixers do not help. TOR has been hacked by the NSA so what for.
There are ATMs but as long as I can see they have all sort of tracking for your real Identity (even finger tips) which in my opinion is completely insane.
