A Ledn co-founder shares a stark lesson: when his family's mining rigs were seized by authorities, bitcoin became their only portable wealth. While they lost physical assets overnight, the crypto holdings they could carry across borders remained untouchable. It's a real-world case study in why decentralization matters. Beyond the personal story, he also questions the feasibility of the claimed $60B "shadow reserve"—the numbers simply don't add up under scrutiny. When governments can confiscate tangible assets but can't touch your private keys, the choice between traditional wealth and digital assets becomes crystal clear.

Wow, this is true financial freedom... The government can't freeze the private keys in my mind.

The mining machine is gone, but the private key is still there. This is the meaning of decentralization, right?

Ha, this is what you call theoretically feasible, and in reality, it really works. The private key is the true portable wealth. Their mining machine was confiscated, but Bitcoin is fine. Now they truly understand what decentralization means. That 60B shadow reserve, huh, has locked itself inside again, and the numbers don't match.
