governments freeze currency all the time.

Only the shithole countries freeze currency trading. That doesn't happen with actual reserve fiat currencies.

That's different. They freeze individual accounts subject to legal orders. They don't freeze the whole currency.

Well maybe it could happen with actual reserve currencies, but it certainly doesn't happen with platinum level, diamond tier luxury fiat currencies.

Oh you didn't know? I bet you trade in "dollars". That's cute.
