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, but only monitored in the same way as bank accounts, i.e. on requests when there is suspicion of fraud.
@9P4MYVC6mos6MO
Citizens should be allowed to secure their money in any way they choose, and the government should have no visibility unless crime is suspected.
@9PQ4Q6J6mos6MO
Digital currencies should have the same monitoring access that transitional currencies have. They should be traceable without damaging privacy to protect against terrorism and exploitation.

The rich do not need all the money they have. This is a way to keep the rich sage and to protect. The government will still find ways to steal from the working class.
@B25SFKS5 days5D
No, the Government should not be able to see what is in your bank account at all as it is none of their business.
@9ZNV5QH 3wks3W
Yes, but the government should not be able to monitor it. They cannot view my regular wallet so why can they view my electronic one
@9ZWZQ8X3wks3W
Yes as long as the government can see it and take the person to court if they suspect something etc.
@9ZWLVB33wks3W
Yes as long as the government can monitor it and if they see something strange they can take the person to court etc.
