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?
I love Bitcoin but not more than my family loved ones. Of course the person you quoted here should rescue his daughter by selling bitcoins if needed. But he must do this with the help of the police. And it is not possible to say whether this incident is real or not. If such an incident happened, I think it would have been covered by any news or media. I have a slight doubt that you made this incident a post here. But anyway if it happens to me I will definitely sell my bitcoins at any moment to rescue my daughter under any circumstances. Because I love my daughter very much. I can never lose my daughter. I will earn a lot of money in the future. But if I lose my daughter, I will never get her back.
I agree with you, that basically bitcoin is just a tool to get better financially that we use and take advantage of, and it's all for our family in essence, basically logically we will not be treated with bitcoin when we are sick, nothing who makes food and no one accompanies us in old age other than family, solely to meet the needs and happiness of the family, I will also sell my bitcoins when a very bad situation befalls my family and it is stupid if we keep the bitcoins we have , even though it's the only way to save.
But maybe this kind of thinking is only in us who do everything we do for our family, starting from investing in bitcoins, studying bitcoins and so on, this is done in order to get income to support the lives of the people we love, even though my bitcoin buying price is much higher than the selling price .
