at the risk of harping on the point,
unless you keep your ownership a secret
it isn't any different than owning land or something.
because it can be taxed
and if push comes to shove
confiscated.
if an asset can be confiscated at will by force,
in what sense does someone "own it?"
except in a provisional way.
