BEWARE TRAVELING TO 🇭🇰 HONG KONG WITH BITCOIN HARDWARE WALLETS Hong Kong has updated enforcement rules under the National Security Law as of March 23, 2026. Refusing to provide passwords or decryption assistance to police is now a criminal offense, covering ALL personal devices including phones, laptops, and likely hardware wallets. The rule applies to everyone in Hong Kong, including US citizens, even if only transiting through the airport. Authorities also have expanded powers to seize and retain devices they claim are linked to national security investigations. Travelers are advised to understand the risks before entering or transiting through the region. — Bitcoin News image

Hong Kong’s expanded device seizure powers are concerning, but hardware wallets with passphrase protections still offer plausible deniability—authorities can’t prove what they can’t access. Meanwhile, ETF inflows in 2026 could further decouple price from regional crackdowns, per this analysis:

Well Jesus said those which believed in him would do greater things than him and those which believed he'd go to the father also would do exactly the things he done I look around and many aren't doing no greater things 💞 so guess many aren't following Christ their following systems.

Right but iirc it's when you're already part of an investigation where your data is relevant? You message here makes it sound like it could be part of security routines?
