5 Assets Governments Can’t Seize During a Financial Collapse

What really happens to your money when a government runs out of it?
History shows the same pattern again and again. When governments face financial collapse, they don’t disappear. They take what they can reach. Bank accounts are frozen. Savings are converted. Gold is taken. Property is hit with new taxes. Retirement money is redefined.

This has already happened — many times.

Germany in the 1930s. The United States in 1933. Argentina in 2001. Cyprus in 2013. Greece in 2015. Lebanon and Venezuela more recently. Different countries. Same outcome.

So the real question is not “what is illegal for them to take.”
In a crisis, laws change.

The real question is: what is hardest for them to take at all?

In this video, we look at five types of assets that governments struggle to seize, not because of loopholes, but because of how they exist. Some can’t be frozen. Some can’t be tracked. Some can’t be touched.

You’ll learn:
Why money in the bank isn’t fully under your control
How governments take assets without using force
Why skills and knowledge survive every collapse
Why owning something is different from just having access to it
Why location and control matter more than value
Why community and trust matter more than money in hard times

This is not financial advice.
This is a look at history a

Correct. And that might (kind of) work in person, assuming you can verify the quality of both. But it’s a completely incompatible with payments in the internet age, obviously.

Today I responded:

… thank you for reaching out and for explaining the review process.

I have to be honest though - I’m a bit disappointed to see a Bitcoin-only company treating standard on-chain privacy practices as something suspicious. Using privacy tools is, in my view, a legitimate and important part of Bitcoin self-custody, and something every Bitcoin user has the right to do.

That said, to clarify the context:

The Bitcoin sent to my Ledn account is entirely my own Bitcoin stash.

JoinMarket was used purely for privacy reasons, not to obscure ownership or origin.

The purpose of the transfer was simply to add additional collateral / autofill volume to my existing Ledn setup.

I don’t see a reason to justify why I value privacy, but I understand that you are operating within certain compliance constraints.

If this particular UTXO is an issue, I’m happy to offer practical alternatives instead of going through an extensive justification process:

I can withdraw the most recent transaction and resend BTC using different UTXOs, or

If needed, I can withdraw my funds entirely and close the loan.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed, and which option causes the least friction on your side.

The Bitcoin-only lender lend.io asking for explanations, screenshots, and signed messages just because coins passed through a privacy tool says everything.
When permission and proof are required to use your own money, decentralization isn’t a buzzword, t’s a necessity.
Bitcoin was built to remove intermediaries, not recreate them.
Self-custody. Privacy by default. Avoid centralized companies at all costs. #ledn #centralisation #sovereignty
