Slightly tangential question but what’s with govt seized crypto assets? I had a bit of Litecoin a while back and went to check my wallet one day to find an FBI landing page instead. Is that just theirs now? Feels a bit like the gov seized control of my savings account.




Same - lost 500 LTC and 5ish BTC to fbi raid of an exchange back when BTC was ~$12. Sure would love to get that back at current prices!

That's not how wallets work.


I mean, it kinda is if all your crypto is held at an exchange.

An exchange is not a wallet. You don't call your bank a wallet either.
