Hello, wee photo I took of an old gutter joint I replaced last year. The tenant pointed this out to me before I dropped it. I cut a foot section out for him and he kept it. It's a piece of fibre glass repair tape. You could only see it from that exact angle too

IMHO if you're against having stolen bitcoins returned, you haven't got nearly enough bitcoins...

You already have abuse of government. You can't avoid abuse of government, DAR or no DAR. That is unless you think there will be a coordinated effort to change government, which I wouldn't hold my breath for.

Again, these are silly fears. Abuse of government, abuse of skilled hackers.

Also, why do you need to redo proof of work? It's an amendment to the historical record. You can see here it was stolen and then returned. System remains intact

It was an unnecessary change that will lead to abuse by gov eventually.

Abusive confiscation is not really a reality. If it were, we'd have much bigger problems.

That's an entirely different thing than confiscation, which comes with obvious risks.

Because it can. Because it's similar but unlike everything else. None of this means you don't have an investigation.

This is no Tesla. very loud, very stiff, straight cut gears that whine like an f1 car, seating position is laying down. You get all of that experience minus the ability to shift. If you’ve ever raced you’ll know almost all your time is in 2-3rd gear anyways

The torque necessary for this car just isn’t possible with an ICE.

Anyways, there’s no need to own one, I’ll let anyone drive it next summer ;)

Confiscation isn't the only way to get your property back. You can always find the thieves, like with any other stolen property.

Once the thieves are identified, you force them to return the property. That's what we do with everything else, isn't it?

Why should Bitcoin in that regard be any different than everything else?

What is the big deal. If you are enterprise and get hacked and have no way to get your property back would you adopt? It's also childish to believe that you can live outside of law, as if because you had this exterior medium of exchange that you could put government in it's place. You resolve almost everything in dollars so how can you have this work outside of law? You want better law it's going to take a lot more than picking a coin. The thing that scares you most is precisely the thing that you will end up with. DAR or no DAR. "I'm worried about govt seizing my coins, but if it's stolen it's fair game".
