Seriously? "Fake wallet/password"? What kind of cockamamie, spaced-out/space cadet concept is that? Have the top cryptos implemented such absurdity? Implementing an absurd feature that sounds cool for the sake of being cool and different does not really make it cool nor practical.

Just because a feature is useless to you does not mean it's useless for everyone.

The government has seized a minimum of 125 000 bitcoins in the past - this is the minimum that I was able to count from just this one source: http://businessinsider.com.pl/international/people-are-making-a-fortune-buying-government-seized-bitcoins/7rthxkk

The total confiscated over the years is probably significantly more than that, especially when you include other cryptocurrencies. At least some of those coins would have been saved with a sensible Plausible Deniability incorporating an Emergency Withdrawal. Whether the owners of those Bitcoins "deserved" to have their funds confiscated or not is entirely irrelevant to this discussion. What matters is that there are most definitely use-cases for such a feature, and many of them will extend beyond illegal activity. (Hint: oppressive governments.)

My statement is a matter of fact and stating the obvious though in a rhetorical manner.

Your statements do not constitute facts, only your personal opinion. The same applies to me. Your opinion is of course welcome, as is everyone else's. I would perhaps suggest that you try to be more polite when addressing others, at least if you would like to be treated seriously. Up to you though.

Your thinking seems to be that the only way for a cryptocurrency to become widely accepted is to focus entirely on features and design philosophies that make the coin easier to use. One doesn't have to look far to see that this is false: just look at Monero. What was the main reason they become more popular than most other coins? They focused heavily on privacy. Did focusing heavily on privacy make the coin easier to use, or more user-friendly? No - if anything, the extra privacy made the coin somewhat less user-friendly.

The basic premise of your logic is flawed. User-friendliness is not the only way to adoption, even if it will definitely help tremendously.

No one really knows what needs to happen for cryptocurrencies to become widely adopted, since it has never been done before and so, by definition, we can't be certain of what needs to happen for it to become reality. We can speculate on what would need to happen, but at best we're looking at educated guesses, no different than trying to predict whether the stock market will be up or down 5 years from now. This means that we would all benefit from a little humility.

tl;dr

You are splitting hairs in order to justify your cockamamie ideas.

Based on your statement, you intend to skirt the law/buck the system by way of your proposed implementation of such an absurd/silly concept. That's the fact that I'm referring to. Try rereading my post until you comprehend it before twisting my words and split hairs to suit your agenda...or to save face.
