> No, it doesn't. Its literally what every government seizure of anything uses.
Yes it does. Walk across the border of the USA and mexico with 20k in cash, and try it again by memorizing a crypto password.
Once you do that, see how both go.
The proveable fact, is that the actual examples that we have, of real life laws and governments, shows that the cash would be confiscated, and the crypto password would be more difficult to do so.
That is a falsifiable experiment that people can do. And the experiment goes my way. That actual, real life example, proves me right, in that specific circumstance.
I don't care about hypotheticals that don't exist in the real world right now. The only thing that I will accept, is real life proof, of crypto passwords being as easy to confiscate, as cash, in the real world.
As in, show me, specifically, how a random border patrol agent, in the US right now, would just as easily figure out that I memorized a crypto password, as opposed to figure out that I am physically carrying 20k in cash, as I go on vacation to mexico, tomorrow.
In the real world, right now, if you cross the US border to mexico your cash would be more easily confiscated than a crypto password, by the random border guard that you talk to.
> It’s force or the threat thereof top to bottom.
Then show me the government mind reading machines, that the border patrol, on the current US border, uses to scan my brain for crypto passwords. Because I can show you how they will confiscate cash. Because I have examples of them confiscating cash. There are no examples of the government turning on their mind reading devices, and stealing my crypto password.
> that have a strong evidentiary threshold
Oh but technical solutions change the evidentiary threshold! A person with a suitcase full of money, has much more evidence of them carrying money (because the suitcase can just be opened), than in the situation of a random, poorly paid border patrol agent, interrogating someone for their crypto password, that the border patrol agent doesn't even know exists!
That is one way how it makes it much more difficult to apply force.
