- One of the advantages of blockchain is that we can roughly calculate how much money went into scams involving cryptocurrencies, because everything is on the public blockchain. Can the same be said for taxe evasion, bribery, corruption, drug trafficking, and other stuff that don't involve crypto?

Friendly reminder: never keep your seed together with your device, it makes it useless
Prob talked about it unfortunately. She knew enough to go looking for the hardware wallet + seed. Everything else she took was just extras. Physical altercations almost always involve prior knowledge of the victim's possessions..

BTC noob here, Cashapp question.
The level of security you employ should correlate with the amount of BTC you have. Would you leave your US dollars on Cashapp? If so you are probably fine leaving a little BTC on there. But long term your best option is cold storage, either buy a device (like Ledger NanoX) for $50-$100, or go to bitcoin.org and download the Bitcoin Core GUI, where you can create your own cold storage wallet. You can generate your own seed phrase with no third parties or extra costs.
