 Rare sat extractors salivating at the prospect of tracking Trump Sats. I'm guessing that channel is going to remain open for a long time unless it's force close?

 Neither are bitcoin. There are no wallets, no addresses, you can't "own" bitcoin, you can't send bitcoin from one wallet to another. All we have is  proof of ownership of a private key and a really long chain of digital signatures. 

But saying that, as soon as you close that channel, the hunters are ready to extract those sats that don't exist.
