> I definitely do. If a part of bitcoin's chain of usage requires enough trust to ask the government to intervene to protect me, why not just trust the government?

I am not sure I understand the question, Bitcoin does not require trust or intervention from the government.

Your original comment is objectively incorrect in two different ways. It's not even remotely a surprising event[0] and most importantly, self-custody does not require running a server. Therefore I maintain my suspicion but enjoy your upvotes.

I disagree and have made my case elsewhere. Anymore and I think we'd be going in circles.

>You can't make this up": used to express great surprise.

I think I used it correctly, but agree to disagree on this as well.

Sorry for confusing your suspicions with something more conspiratorial.
