On Friday, Red State<\/a> posted an article about how two bitcoin companies responded to Trudeau’s deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, talking about freezing financial accounts of people involved in the truck protest and the people who are supporting them financially. Many of the major banks instantly cooperated, but two bitcoin companies had a different response.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Bitcoin wallet company Nunchuk announced that they\u2019d gotten a request to freeze accounts from the government, \u201cYesterday, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice sent us a Mareva Injunction, ordering us to freeze and disclose information about the assets involved in the #FreedomConvoy2022 movement.\u201d But Nunchuk explained to the clueless government that they don\u2019t hold any money like a custodial financial institution, they don\u2019t collect user information apart from emails, and they don\u2019t hold the keys to any of the wallets \u2014 that it\u2019s all private to the user, by design.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cPlease look up how self custody and private keys work,\u201d the company chided the government. \u201cWhen the Canadian dollar becomes worthless, we will be here to serve you too.\u201d Now, that\u2019s gold. They even learned a lesson from this experience with the government, and now will be making it even more private by not even holding the email information in future updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also reports the response of Edge Wallet, another bitcoin company:<\/p>\n

In the wake of ongoing turmoil taking place in the Canadian capital of Ottawa, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has requested, via the Emergencies Act, that various financial services companies freeze accounts of those linked to protesters occupying the region, as well as those providing funding to the protests, but not present physically.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regardless of whether the protests resonate with individuals or not, financial seizure is an unprecedented action that must be taken seriously. It\u2019s with great consideration that we would like to share our official response to the request that Canadian users\u2019 Edge accounts be frozen:<\/strong><\/p>\n

They finished with this meme.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wish the major banks had that kind of courage.<\/p>\n
