It doesn't defeat it, it merely underlines that bitcoin platitudes evaporate in the light of practical use of "crypto".
Related sayings: "Feet of clay", "Emperor has no clothes". etc.
Moving cryptocurrencies around barriers such as custodial exchanges freezing/losing/stealing it is one of the “superpowers” that makes real Crypto valuable.
Any thief dumb enough to deposit their stolen goods onto someone’s exchange deserves to have it frozen — heck, if they deposited it into my wallet, that’s what I wound do!
Explain again how this defeats “code is law”?
