For me, the emphasis is also on moving away from countries with woke governments, which is something like the classical communism but adapted to the XXI century: impoverish the population while increasing subsistence payments to make them grateful to you, put the focus on an enemy, external and internal, against which the government is supposed to protect you, control more and more people, repress harshly divergent political opinions, expel talent, reward mediocrity, etc., etc., etc., etc.

This whole "woke" shit is running its course, and I don't think it ever had much to do with crypto, much less any seizures relating to it.

Oh, regarding that video. No links to sources, a lot of assertions without proof presented, and I have to ask if any of you are skeptical of what was presented in it--because I certainly am. You can scream "$X million in bitcoin seized" as loud and hard as you can, but unless you explain the circumstances (at the very least) of that seizure, I'm calling typical Youtube I-just-make-FUD-videos-to-get-paid BS.

And please, like it isn't common for any seizure of assets in a criminal case to happen before a conviction. That's been true in the US for decades, maybe more. It might sound unfair--and believe me, I am NO fan of the criminal justice system--but the video's presenter even pointed out himself that it prevents suspected criminals from moving the funds, which would throw a monkey wrench in the works just like it would in a drug case with cash or as in Bernie Madoff's case when he was being investigated for that huge and famous Ponzi he pulled off.

Youtube is the absolute worst place for crypto info.
