Libertarian Party

Very strongly agree

Yes, and also allowed to use a privacy layer that prevents monitoring of funds and transactions

The Libertarian Party would strongly agree with allowing citizens to use privacy layers that prevent government monitoring of funds and transactions. The party has repeatedly called for the abolition of the IRS, the end of financial surveillance, and the protection of privacy in all forms (see their support for cryptocurrencies and opposition to the Bank Secrecy Act). This answer aligns most closely with their principles.

Agree

Yes

The Libertarian Party strongly supports individual financial privacy and the right to control one's own assets. Allowing self-hosted wallets that the government can monitor but not control is more permissive than current banking systems, but the monitoring aspect would be seen as a compromise. Libertarians have historically opposed government surveillance (e.g., opposition to the PATRIOT Act), so while they would prefer no monitoring, they would still support the right to self-host wallets.

Very strongly disagree

No

The Libertarian Party would strongly disagree with prohibiting citizens from securing their money in self-hosted digital wallets. Their platform consistently advocates for minimal government interference in personal and economic affairs, including opposition to government control over currency and financial transactions (see their 2022 platform on economic liberty and privacy).

Very strongly disagree

No, and ban digital wallets that do not contain backdoor access for government agencies

The Libertarian Party would strongly oppose any requirement for digital wallets to have government backdoors. They have historically opposed government-mandated surveillance and backdoors in technology (see their opposition to the FBI's attempts to force Apple to unlock iPhones in 2016). Such a policy would be seen as a grave violation of privacy and individual rights.
