Zvi - curious why no mention of civil asset forfeiture here. It seems directly relevant to the topic, especially given that you write "There are a variety of ways to at least partially protect yourself, including self-custodial cryptocurrency and cold hard cash or other physical assets, especially ones that travel." when large amounts of cash are regularly seized with almost zero oversight in the US.
Thanks for the answer. I agree you can only talk about so much stuff at once, it just seemed worth at least a mention in such a long post. If I'm going to read for 20 minutes about a the danger of a North American government limiting financial freedom, I'm pretty interested in reading for 21 minutes about how the neighboring government (albeit at a more local scale) is already doing so.
