Awesome point.

With all of the talking about anonymity, crypto, etc, which are all ephemeral things, one of the strongest things that you have going for you as a US resident is an object inside the perimeter of your home.

I'd trust strong crypto more than the law. I don't leave piles of cash in my house despite the law against taking it.

Generally speaking, the law wins.

That's true. But good crypto can also protect you in the outlier cases. If someone is taking your stuff they either disregard the law or they are the law. Crypto protects you at least a bit in both cases.
