    I was talking about crypto and blockchain in general

    You can achieve relative anonymity by getting BTC by swapping with a better crypto like Monero

    At least your money is safe, it’s what I mean by control. They can’t take it from you.

      I disagree.

      The specific methods, be it crypto or some offshore fake company scheme, don’t matter.

      If you are a nobody and you give the government reasons to prosecute you, they will crack your scheme no matter how convoluted your crypto setup. This is basic common sense.

      The whole “crypto = freedom” is a ruse promoted by various scammers and criminals to attract marks.

      The scammers figured out that some low effort copytext about “freedom” is an easy way to attracts marks in context of a crypto scam, especially north american ones who like to believe they understand the meaning of freedom. When in reality their knowledge of such matters is extremely lacking; and I am being very diplomatic in this.
