What if you had, let's say....5000 Bitcoins in your custody and suddenly someone demanded it as a ransom in exchange for someone very important to you, would you make the exchange?
What could be so important than holding the 5000 bitcoin with me? I'm already rich and there is nothing much valuable as equal to 5000 bitcoin.
You do realise what is the price for bitcoin right ? It's more than billion dude and why would I sell it for anything. I will literally have high level security around my house. lol,
With that kind money I can spend my life easily and my would be more important at that point. With 5K bitcoin in wallet I will also get 4-5% returns for long storage each month. Just imagine I will have the money making machine. :-)
