The scheme the UK is using to seize inactive assets is called escheat, and it's use predates the Magna Carta. Indeed, it was perhaps the prime reason the Magna Carta exists, as the nobility of the day was sick and tired of kings scheming away their assets. They certainly kept their own power to escheat their people, and this continues around the world today, when states seize the assets of folks that die without heirs, for example.

Bail-ins are just stealing. Banks that take your money should suffer the relevant officers of those corporations and participants being hung.

Fortunately none of my assets are in danger of being stolen by banks today, because they were stolen by banks more than a decade ago, and I won't stick a penny in a bank today. Destroy my life once, shame on you. Destroy my life twice... can't be destroyed again (to paraphrase Shrub).

Given that exchanges are captive to banks, just how safu do you think your BTC is? I dont think there's enough of it to much bother the movers and shakers of finance, but I reckon they'll get around to the financial scraps BTC is relative to the volumes they deal with, sooner or later.

Let's hope I'm wrong.
