Plausibly. If you were under investigation, You would go to court, And explain how you got said coin. If you did get Bitcoin that came from say, Russian hackers, They would probably just take it and you would get no compensation, Thank god for bureaucracy. If you got it in some “legitimate” business dealings you could probably sue whoever gave it to you and find compensation after a long litigation process, As fun as that sounds. It is really a hard double standard to walk. Most hardcore bitcoiners value their privacy for this reason. I entered the market when exchanges went live well after the FBI did their thing about Silk Road and realized they could make money by selling “dark web” coins. The rare individual who was financially literate enough in 2009 to realize the potential of bitcoin, And technologically competent enough to watch how the network progressed through all that time probably was already rich from a job in Silicon Valley. I think the majority of wallets with 1btc + have some kind of cybercrime attached to them. Working and saving up to 1btc is a pretty pathetic and pleasure averse experience. Foregoing any useless spending excludes you from about 80% of the western economy. Most of the influencers in the bitcoin space would be considered criminals by government standards.
