Uprkos nedavnim prijetnjama kanadskih zvaničnika, 'Prava kripto' ili decentralizirana imovina ne mogu se zamrznuti
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 pozvao 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 ugasiti 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.
prema to a number of financial institutions and crypto companies, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) did in fact send the letters. Furthermore, another izvještaj 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.
U međuvremenu, unatoč naslovima koji govore o direktnom zamrzavanju kripto imovine, treba napomenuti da se to može dogoditi samo prijetnjom provedbom i ciljanjem kripto-fijata van rampi.
Jučer nam je Vrhovni sud pravde Ontarija poslao nalog Mareva, naređujući nam da zamrznemo i objavimo informacije o imovini uključenoj u #FreedomConvoy2022 pokret.

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, koristiti kontrole sa više potpisa.
According to the software developers behind the non-custodial bitcoin novčanik nunchacks, the team was sent a Mareva injunction letter. Nunchuk uzvratio Višem sudu pravde Ontarija i rekao sudu da ne može da ispoštuje naredbe.
“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:
Ne prikupljamo nikakve podatke o identifikaciji korisnika osim adresa e-pošte. Nemamo ključeve. Dakle: 'Imovina naših korisnika se ne može onemogućiti.' '[Mi] Ne možemo "blokirati transakcije." Ne znamo 'prisutnost, prirodu, vrijednost i lokaciju' imovine naših korisnika. Pogledajte kako funkcioniraju samoodbrana i lični ključevi. Kada kanadski dolar bude bezvrijedan, mi ćemo biti tu za vas.
Izvršni direktor Kraken-a Jesse Powell: 'Ne možemo vas zaštititi – držite se prave kripto-pošte'
Izvršni direktor Krakena, Jesse Powell, objasnio je na Twitteru da ako su ljudi zabrinuti zbog zamrzavanja svojih kripto sredstava onda ne bi trebali držati kripto na centraliziranim platformama. Odgovaranje nekome komentarišući o kripto berzama koje zamrzavaju sredstva, Powell je rekao da je to „100%“ slučaj.
„100% da jeste/dogodiće se i 100% da, bićemo primorani da se povinujemo“, rekao je Pauel. “Ako ste zabrinuti zbog toga, nemojte držati svoja sredstva ni kod jednog centralizovanog/regulisanog čuvara. Ne možemo vas zaštititi,” Powell Tweeted. U kasnijem cvrkut, Powell je raspravljao o tome da odlazak na lanac na vrh rezervnih tokena kao što su stabilni novčići također možda nije siguran.
“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 zahtev from law enforcement. Tether has blacklisted hundreds of USDT addresses and last month, the company zamrznula U vrijednosti od 160 miliona dolara 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.
