Malgre Dènye Menas Ofisyèl Kanadyen yo, 'Real Crypto' oswa Byen Desantralize yo pa ka jele.
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 envoke 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 fèmen 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.
Dapre to a number of financial institutions and crypto companies, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) did in fact send the letters. Furthermore, another rapòte 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.
Pandan se tan, malgre tit yo ki pale sou konjelasyon dirèkteman byen kript, li ta dwe remake ke sa a ka rive sèlman lè yo menase ranfòsman ak vize kript-a-fiat off-ranp yo.
Yè, Tribinal Siperyè Jistis Ontario a te voye nou yon Enjonksyon Mareva, ki te bay lòd pou nou jele ak divilge enfòmasyon sou byen ki enplike nan #FeedomConvoy2022 mouvman.

It is impossible to freeze a bitcoin (b) 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 b fund that raised 21 bitcoin, itilize kontwòl milti-siyati.
According to the software developers behind the non-custodial bitcoin bous nunchucks, the team was sent a Mareva injunction letter. Nunchuk ekri tounen bay Tribinal Siperyè Jistis Ontario epi li te di tribinal la li pa t kapab respekte lòd yo.
“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:
Nou pa kolekte okenn enfòmasyon idantifikasyon itilizatè pi lwen pase adrès imel. Nou pa gen kle. Kidonk: 'Byen itilizatè nou yo pa ka enfim.' '[Nou] pa kapab "bloke tranzaksyon yo." Nou pa konnen 'prezans, nati, valè ak kote' byen itilizatè nou yo. Gade kijan defans pwòp tèt ou ak kle pèsonèl travay. Lè dola Kanadyen an pa vo anyen, nou pral la pou ou.
Direktè Jeneral Kraken a, Jesse Powell: 'Nou pa ka pwoteje ou - rete kole ak reyèl Crypto'
PDG Kraken a, Jesse Powell, te eksplike sou Twitter ke si moun yo enkyete pou jwenn lajan kript yo nan frizè Lè sa a, yo pa ta dwe kenbe kript sou platfòm santralize. Reponn yon moun kòmantè sou echanj kriptografik konjelasyon lajan, Powell te di ke sa a te "100%" ka a.
"100% wi li gen/pral rive ak 100% wi, nou pral oblije konfòme," te di Powell. “Si w enkyete w pou sa, pa kenbe lajan w ak okenn gadyen santralize/reglemante. Nou pa kapab pwoteje ou,” Powell Yo. Nan yon pita tweet, Powell te diskite ke ale sou-chèn nan tèt rezèv tokens tankou stablecoins ka pa an sekirite tou.
“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 nan USDC after getting a mande from law enforcement. Tether has blacklisted hundreds of USDT addresses and last month, the company te jele $ 160 milyon dola vo 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.
Ki sa ou panse sou kòmantè Jesse Powell sou echanj yo pa kapab pwoteje ou ak li rete soude ak deklarasyon 'vrè kriptografik'? Fè nou konnen sa ou panse sou sijè sa a nan seksyon kòmantè ki anba a.
