Ten spyte van onlangse dreigemente van Kanadese amptenare, kan 'Real Crypto' of gedesentraliseerde bates nie gevries word nie
Over the last week, there’s been a lot of discussion about Canada ‘freezing’ digital currency accounts that are associated with the Canadian trucker’s Freedom Convoy. Amid the topical conversation, it should be stressed that decentralized cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, cannot be frozen directly within the network. However, the Canadian government can flag specific digital currency addresses and take it even further, by asking centralized entities like crypto exchanges and payment processors to freeze the funds.
Canadian Officials Can Flag Crypto Addresses and Threaten Exchanges, but They Can’t ‘Freeze Bitcoin"
Last week, the Canadian government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau drie maande the country’s Emergencies Act and enacted Canada’s terrorist financing policy in order to blanket cryptocurrencies donations. Trudeau and the government did this to quell the protesters occupying the streets of Ottawa.
The Canadian government managed to get Gofundme to gesluit the Freedom Convoy’s fundraiser and it flagged 34 crypto addresses allegedly associated with crypto fundraisers. Reports had indicated that Canada’s police sent letters to banks and crypto-asset exchanges and insisted that companies “cease facilitating any transactions” with the aforementioned flagged addresses.
Volgens to a number of financial institutions and crypto companies, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) did in fact send the letters. Furthermore, another verslag details that an Ontario Superior Court judge has ordered financial institutions to freeze any assets tied to the Freedom Convoy including digital assets.
The order reportedly derived from a “secret hearing” initiated by Ottawa residents and attorney Paul Champ. “I can confirm that this is the first successful Mareva order in Canada targeting bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchanges,” Champ explained to the press.
Intussen, ten spyte van die opskrifte wat praat oor die direkte vries van kripto-bates, moet daarop gelet word dat dit slegs kan gebeur deur afdwinging te dreig en kripto-tot-fiat-afritte te teiken.
Gister het die Ontario Hooggeregshof vir ons 'n Mareva-bevel gestuur wat ons beveel het om inligting oor die bates betrokke by die #Vryheidkonvooi2022 beweging.

It is impossible to freeze a bitcoin (BTC) or ethereum (ETH) address and render it useless to the owner. The only way to do that is by using force or threats of imprisonment or death and ultimately obtaining a crypto owner’s private keys. This is why fundraisers, like the BTC fund that raised 21 bitcoin, gebruik multi-handtekening kontroles.
According to the software developers behind the non-custodial bitcoin beursie nunchucks, the team was sent a Mareva injunction letter. Nunchuk terug geskryf het aan die Ontario Superior Court of Justice en het aan die hof gesê hy kan nie aan die bevele voldoen nie.
“Dear Ontario High Court Judge, Nunchuk is a self-defense, collaborative, multi-sig bitcoin wallet,” the Nunchuk team’s letter says. “We are a software provider, not a security finance intermediary. Our software is free to use. While protecting privacy, it helps people to eliminate single points of failure and save bitcoin as safely as possible.” Nunchuk’s letter adds:
Ons samel geen gebruiker-identifikasie-inligting buiten e-posadresse in nie. Ons het geen sleutels nie. Dus: 'Ons gebruikers se bates kan nie gedeaktiveer word nie.' '[Ons] kan nie "transaksies blokkeer nie." Ons ken nie die 'teenwoordigheid, aard, waarde en ligging' van ons gebruikers se bates nie. Kyk hoe selfverdediging en persoonlike sleutels werk. Wanneer die Kanadese dollar waardeloos is, sal ons hier wees vir jou.
Kraken se uitvoerende hoof, Jesse Powell: 'Ons kan jou nie beskerm nie - hou by Real Crypto'
Kraken se uitvoerende hoof, Jesse Powell, het op Twitter verduidelik dat as mense bekommerd is dat hul kripto-fondse gevries word, hulle nie kripto op gesentraliseerde platforms moet hou nie. Reageer op iemand kommentaar te lewer oor kripto-uitruilings wat fondse bevries, het Powell gesê dat dit "100%" die geval was.
"100% ja dit het/sal gebeur en 100% ja, ons sal gedwing word om te voldoen," het Powell gesê. “As jy bekommerd is daaroor, moenie jou geld by enige gesentraliseerde/gereguleerde bewaarder hou nie. Ons kan jou nie beskerm nie,” Powell tweeted. In 'n later tweet, Powell het bespreek dat om aan-ketting na bo-reserwe-tokens soos stablecoins ook nie veilig te wees nie.
“You’re not necessarily safe just going on-chain,” Powell said. “The top reserve tokens with centralized issuance and redemption, like USDT and USDC have centralized control of freeze functionality that can be commandeered as easily as a bank account. Stick to real crypto,” he added. Both USDC and USDT issuers have frozen specific stablecoin addresses in the past.
In July 2020, Circle’s Centre Consortium blacklisted $100,000 in USDC after getting a vra from law enforcement. Tether has blacklisted hundreds of USDT addresses and last month, the company vries $ 160 miljoen se waarde USDT. So while digital currency exchanges, crypto payment processors, financial institutions, and banks can “cease facilitating any transactions” with crypto addresses, decentralized assets or “real crypto” cannot be commandeered unless the accounts’ private keys are taken by threats or physical force.
Wat dink jy van Jesse Powell se opmerkings oor uitruilings wat jou nie en sy vashou aan 'regte kripto'-stelling kan beskerm nie? Laat weet ons wat u oor hierdie onderwerp dink in die kommentaarafdeling hieronder.
