So let me ask a question. When you buy a home with all your life savings, does it become yours? What makes it differ from the soviets? I mean, obviously they recorded your rights to the building on paper, and now they record it in digital databases. But is it REALLY that different? You don't truly own either. It's all the government's promise to let you access it and keep away whomever should not access it, until they don't.

It depends on the government policies, in my country if I won the land then it's completely belong to me but there is nothing stopping the government if they want to take it and I have no other choice and most of the time they don't even give the right compensation for it and that's almost same for everywhere even if you own both the land and house still government can take it.

The only thing you truly own is bitcoin. The rest are promises.

Gold is yours to,o right? But anyone remember Executive Order 6102, issued by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, "That order required all U.S. citizens to turn in their gold coins, bullion, and gold certificates to the Federal Reserve in exchange for paper dollars at a fixed rate of $20.67 per ounce."

So if the government wants to take what is in their citizens possession then they can take it in one way or the other but good things with bitcoin is digital so as long as you are not leaking your bitcoin possession data to government by KYCing to centralized platforms and using it on your primary wallet linking that reveals what is under your possession so if you want them not to take away wha is yours then keep your main stash away from your KYC linked addresses.
