I thought the big push for crypto was to keep governments from touching it? So what are the actual benefits to it beyond buying drugs?


seized =/= froze, they never got ahold of the funds, just disabled them on the blockchain

and according to the article it's only confirmed it's 340mil but according to bessent it's "close to 1billion"
