How do they seize it? Say I’ve got a 256-bit number memorized and I live on a farm in El Salvador.

Is the US sending seal team 6 to interrogate every person trading bitcoin on earth? Or, is that maybe a bit unrealistic?

If you're a foreigner you're not violating US laws by selling your fraudulent securities. If you sell to a US citizen you aught to stay away from places with extradition treaties.

None of this is new or invalidated by magic coins in my computer.
