Reply to comment by yourwifes3rdboyfrend in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87
Now that the value has fallen do they need to pay the government 300k euros? Once the payment is settled there should be no back and forth, the value changing two years later should not be relevant. I also wouldn't expect the government to say "Hey you owe us 80k more euros because we decided to hodl and it turned out the value fell."

Charge them with stealing 100k of assets, and seize the bitcoin with them not seeing profits or losses from the change of value later.

Why cannot it be on it's self? One molecule of water is atop a second molecule of water. Both are now on eachother, both are wet.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that Fahrenheit 451, a book about a distopian future where books are banned and burned, was banned and burned by the apartheid regime in South Africa with other tens of thousands. by open_closet
Democrats don't really do book bans. Republicans often try to ban lgbt books.
