This story is pathetic, the man who introduce me to bitcoin, his kid sis was knapped 2 weeks now and the kidnappers are asking for a huge ransom of N10 Million Nigeria currency but the whole thing looks like a plan work from some people close to him because many people know him to be crypto dealer. Now this money is never available anywhere, the man's only option is to sell his bitcoin and even if he does is not up to the amount. Do you advise he sells and bail his kid sister? Everybody is confuse.
Many things happens this days, putting you on a test! At what situations did you think you can sell your bitcoin and forget about bitcoin like it has never exist in your life. Knowing well the situation you're into many must have passed it and scale through without selling. What then will make you to sell even if the price is against you?
Were you expecting the man to keep his Bitcoin and go search for anyone that can lend him money? It is very difficult for people to lend money these days, I would better sell if I'm the one because the life is not a thing to joke with, Bitcoin can be bought again especially if you get lucky when it is been dump but the kid can never be replaced, I strongly advise the man to cooperate with the security agency in a low key and also do anything to follow simple instructions so that the kidnappers don't harm the Kid.
This why smart people don't disclose to public friends that they have Bitcoin in their possession, you don't know who is looking and who may want to hurt you. Don't tell people you own Bitcoin, if you must do, tell them you have a tiny piece if it to convince them to buy Bitcoin.
