Former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan believes that large tech companies pose a threat to crypto-asset owners.

According to him, giants like Apple and Google can leak sensitive information to the authorities.

"They can simply scan your hard drive for private keys and then confiscate crypto-assets at the behest of the government," Balaji believes.
