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.

Citizens should be allowed to store thier money however they wish without any government access to view.
@B4ND9T91wk1W
This is a conflicting question. Yes, citizens should be allowed to secure their money. No, the government should not be able to monitor. The government has more than enough ways to track criminals that do not infringe on citizens' rights.
@B4D8N483wks3W
There should be regulation of these markets to ensure that nobody is investing in a currency that is a pump and dump
@B45XZ6W4wks4W
Yes, but digital wallets should be taxed if they are not approved currencies of the Canadian government
@B35Q7K52mos2MO
Private for low and moderate values, similar regulations on higher valued accounts to prevent money laundering/illegal bribes, etc.
@B2MJQM83mos3MO
No, the citizens should be allowed to secure money in self-hosted digital wallets thay the government can't monitor nor control.
@9ZNZZY85mos5MO
No, but government shouldn't be allowed to freeze assets unless there is undeniable proof of wrong doing.
@9WQ5HHK6mos6MO
yes, but if something illegal is happening in said wallet the government should be able to take control if they can prove that something illegal happened
