"Legal ownership" is the person or entity that exists on the Government/State's register of asset ownership (eg: Land titles for property) "Beneficial ownership" is the person or entity that enjoys the rights of ownership and use .. often but not always the same as Legal owner Bitcoin has no state register of ownership Ownership of bitcoin is control of the private keys Very literally: Not your keys, Not your bitcoins The surveillance companies have unaudited black box software suites that can suggest the probabilistic *beneficial* owner ETFs and Corporate treasuries have legal ownership of the right for the return of the asset custodied by third parties .. who (hopefully) retain control of those assets Capital Gains Tax is triggered by a change of Beneficial Owner Not everywhere .. but definitely within the G20 countries Thinking about borrowing on your bitcoin? Understand the above!

Third parties are security holes Originally noted by Nick Szabo, it has stood the test of time and applies equally to *privacy* Whilst peer-to-peer bitcoin use avoids third parties (one of Bitcoin’s super-powers) which helps protects your privacy, introducing third parties such as centralised exchanges, custodians and collateral managers undermines that The recent case allowing unfettered access by the US Govt to all US exchange customer records emphasises this https://cryptoslate.com/supreme-court-confirms-irs-right-to-access-customer-data-from-crypto-exchanges-without-warrant/ “But I’m not in the US” i hear you say .. yes .. neither am i .. but .. Although the US is only 3% of the world, they’re the guiding force behind the expanding surveillance state globally .. if these expanded surveillance powers are now a free-for-all in the US, you should assume they’ll be implemented in your jurisdiction too Plan accordingly Choose privacy Protect yours.

“Weapons of mass destruction” We’ve all heard that line before Some of us have figured it out: They’re the clowns you voted for
