? “You’ve got Bitcoin? Then we’re coming for you.” — said Tone Vays, commenting on a possible BTC confiscation in the U.S.
He believes the U.S. government may repeat the 1933 gold seizure, when citizens were forced to exchange gold for paper dollars. Now the same fate may await “digital gold”.
“These companies hold BTC ‘for the people’, but the U.S. could seize it all over a single weekend. That’s very risky,” Vays warned.
2033 Scenario: The Dollar Crashes, and Bitcoin Is “Voluntarily” Surrendered
According to Tone Vays, by 2033 the U.S. will face a major economic crisis, including a dollar collapse. In this situation, the government may “ask” large companies holding BTC to share their crypto reserves to “save the economy.”
He drew a parallel with Changpeng Zhao (founder of Binance), recalling that he was released from prison under rather strange circumstances. Vays suggests that this release might have involved partially handing over assets to authorities.
BTC in a Trap: Who Might Be at Risk
Today, a significant portion of Bitcoin is concentrated in the hands of American companies:
- BlackRock — around 1 million BTC via iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT);
- MicroStrategy — over 600,000 BTC, stored on Coinbase.
- In total, according to Vays, 3–4 million BTC (15–20% of the supply) are controlled by major players.
The key point: all of them are under U.S. jurisdiction. Vays believes this makes centralized holdings vulnerable.
“First — voluntary donations to pay off the national debt via Venmo and PayPal. Today it’s optional, tomorrow — mandatory,” the trader jokes.
Price Forecast and Advice for Beginners
Despite the bleak outlook, Vays believes Bitcoin could still rise to $145,000 by 2028, followed by a correction to $90,000.
He advises beginners not to enter the market right now, but to wait for the next cycle — in 2028–2029.
“Bitcoin May Not Survive 2033”
“I’m not sure Bitcoin will survive 2032–2033. I think by then the government will confiscate it. The U.S. might collapse, the dollar could crash, and Bitcoin would become target number one. If you hold BTC yourself — maybe you’ll be safe. But if it’s on an exchange — goodbye,” Vays concluded.
