In short, if an event such as the Great Taking takes place, Bitcoin, gold, etc, get repriced much higher overnight. In other words, little becomes a lot. Bitcoin then has explosive upside for survivors (self-custody only). Also, as I mentioned my net worth is relatively high, so 15% is not little. It's not something I've written about on here, but I researched how likely it is for the Controllers to enact the Great Taking and I've come to the conclusion that it is an (extreme) edge case. The extremely TLDR version is: The full Great Taking type scenario is technically possible, legally enabled, but extremely risky. Requires near-perfect control of narratives + timing (crisis trigger + CBDC rollout + global harmonization). If mismanaged, triggers chaos -> loss of trust in state. Hence, fallback scenario if debt pyramid collapse outruns managed transition. Also, technically, all stocks held through custodians, brokerages, and CSDs (DTCC, Euroclear, Clearstream, etc.) are legally collateralized and can be swept. However, it is more nuanced and I'm not going to dive too deep here. The Controllers usually do not "punish" their own instruments. State-embedded companies are not "capital assets" in the same way as random ETFs. They are extensions of the state-control lattice. Seizing their equity en masse would destabilize their role. Why would the Controllers burn the infrastructure they rely on? Instead, these equities are more likely to be: - Ring-fenced: carved out from seizure frameworks. - Converted: forcibly shifted to "CBDC-denominated ledger shares". You still "own" them, but only inside the CBDC matrix. - Protected selectively: insiders, elites, and aligned funds retain ownership; retail may be converted or frozen. So - yes, they are technically seizable, but practically unlikely to be targeted, because they are the command system itself. It is much more nuanced than this, but not going to dive too deep here.
