Seriously. The less said to border agents the better. Why would anyone bring up their btc worth is beyond me? Probably get flagged as a "person of interest" and hassled every time you cross the border. It would really be dumb to have a wallet on board showing a large amount of btc when you know they can search your devices and ask for passwords.
Yes I agree, but that speaks to reality rather than the imagined society where we have a social contract that we comply with in which we have only advantage to gain by being completely honest and forthcoming with our authorities. Of course the reality is that you say as little as possible and the more time you spend around the police, the more likely it is you'll die. Anyone not retarded and without the inclination to lie to themselves knows this.
I wouldn't bring up my BTC, but we now exist in a time where arbitrary lines drawn in our ethical codes are no longer relevant:
i.e
- combustion, cooking recipes, jokes? un-copyright-able - share away! Above board, everything is fine.
- sharing protected ones and zeros? how dare you! artists deserve to get paid for their work!
- transferring/carrying cash under an arbitrary amount? no problemo!
- exceed that amount? We're gonna need to know what you're up to!
