 Listened to a bit.  Whitney, nobody can "seize" self-custodied bitcoin.  It can only be "seized" by people either accidentally or willingly giving over their private keys.  The bitcoin timechain has never been "hacked".  Can people be put under extreme duress?  Sure.  But it is ultimately up to them whether they give up their keys or take it to their grave.
