>>why would anyone want to immediately lose 20% of their investment?...

They are not buying Bitcoin to gain x% a year. That's what Dow Jones or AT&T stock are about. They are buying bitcoin hoping it goes to $100K a coin, and having a coin that has been used to buy/sell drugs or women...well you get it. Feds can take it or no one refuses to buy it.

Most paper currency is contaminated with cocaine. Can the feds seize that too?
