From murders to kidnappings, it seems criminals are targetting Bitcoin hodlers these days. Now why is it that individuals are more careful with fiat than they are with crypto. This is money and more people (even crooks) are realizing that. I read this analysis of Bitcoin related crimes and think we should think of ways of keeping our crypto safe and our lives also. https://cryptoinfowatch.com/cryptocurrency-crimes-surge-as-industry-strives-for-greater-adoption/

Here is what can be done for this :

1) People should be made more aware for using crypto technology carefully and wisely so as to avoid scams.

2) There should be separate laws and departments to deal with crimes related to crypto.

i don't think we need a "separate law enforcement department" for dealing with cryptocurrency related crimes because these crimes aren't actually a different category of crimes!
for example hacking an exchange is a general crime called "hacking"!
or robbing someone's bitcoins at gunpoint is the general "armed robbery" crime.
so is everything else you can think of.
