California just passed a bill to seize #Bitcoin left idle on exchanges.

After 3 years of inactivity, assets can be taken by the state under 'Unclaimed Property' laws.

Bill now heads to the Senate.

Note: The TFTC account later posted a "correction" that once more gave out what looks like questionable info: as far as I know, escheatment gives the state the right to sell the property. Yes, you can claim later, but only the cash value at the time of sale.

Maybe someone with more experience in property laws can explain this better than I can?

I don’t even know if I should laugh or cry! But I gotta admit, it’s a pretty smart move to push people into self-custody, and honestly, that’s a good thing.
