But crypto is untraceable and can't be frozen, it's your money!

most cryptos are pseudonymous. so, nobody knows who you are until you inevitably tie that pseudonym back to yourself somehow. like if you attempt to cash out, or use that pseudonym (wallet) to pay for something that could be linked to your real identity.
