Self-hosted digital wallets are personal, user-managed storage solutions for digital currencies like Bitcoin, which provide individuals with control over their funds without relying on third-party institutions. Monitoring refers to the government having the capability to oversee transactions without the ability to directly control or interfere with the funds. Proponents argue that it ensures personal financial freedom and security while allowing the government to monitor for illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorism financing. Opponents argue that even monitoring infringes on privacy rights and that self-hosted wallets should remain completely private and free from government oversight.

Yes

It's your money. Nobody should have access to it except you. You don't owe anyone anything. You should be able to keep it without risk of losing it.
@ISIDEWITH9mos9MO
Yes, and also allowed to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions
@B3GK4Q92wks2W
Allowing self-hosted digital wallets to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring enables crime, tax evasion, and fraud. Law enforcement relies on financial transparency to combat money laundering and terrorism financing. Without oversight, consumers have no protection against theft or scams. A balanced approach—ensuring privacy while maintaining regulatory safeguards—is essential for security and economic stability.

No, and ban digital wallets that do not contain backdoor access for government agencies
@9T6W4G66mos6MO
I'm not a piece of **** ing property. Unless I've done anything illegal, you stay the **** away from my earned money. I don't care what reason you have, you can't take my money without permission. I don't remember you working 3 hours of my 8 hour shift.
@9S8LFZ57mos7MO
The government shouldn’t have access to your personal things
@9S4MGFHOne Nation7mos7MO
Yes, but only if governments have no backdoor access or access of any kind.
Yes, but the government cannot monitor it nor control it
Citizens should be able to secure their money however they like.
@9QY8CQ58mos8MO
No, the government should not have access to monitor or control digital wallets.
Yes, but no monitoring by the government for the balance.
@9QQ5XYL8mos8MO
What do with my money is none of the government’s beeswax
Yes, but allow for the seizure of these wallets if they are being used to conduct unlawful transactions or accommodate them.
Yes, but if the wallet has been used to facilitate illegal activity or purchases then it should be allowed to be seized under the permission of a magistrate.
@9W9Q2D85mos5MO
Yes, but the government should be able to intervene if illegal activity is found as well as if the accumulation of money gets too high.
@9SFZ4TV7mos7MO
Yes but the government shouldn't be allowed to monitor it
