If you hold you own private keys no one can make you give up crypto.
And you can give those keys to another person to transfer the crypto without the internet.
If you make 100 paper wallets with $100 each you could literally hand one to someone to transfer money and it wouldn't show up on the Blockchain.
Exactly, and the supply of crypto (depending on the specific crypto) is mathematically limited. Anyone that wanted to print crypto from thin air would have to take control of over 50% of the network. It's about as government-proof as torrents, more so because there are no centralized servers involved.
so it's just limited gold and silver and you lose your keys if you use it?
