"they'd have to personally kill me to take the money" I mean the cops could just pull you over and take it. Unless you were willing to make the cops kill you over $9,800?

I think you are confusing state sponsored violence and street violence. The state can always get you, unfortunately. Crypto does try and address this, to varying degrees of success.

I think you are misinterpreting what I am saying. I was actually on your side. I'm saying the state works to take what you have and if they want it they will take it. I'm agreeing that they use banks, etc. to keep track of you and tax / seize what they want.

" I'm not much interested in being baited (whether intentionally or not) into answering this kind of legally precarious question about it being MY fault that I 'made' someone hurt me." Really not trying to bait you here at all. Seems like we have a communication issue, maybe my fault. all the best.
