I was listening to a news that one of the relatives of a person kidnapped him and asked him for bitcoin in ransom. This happened because that person showed his bitcoin holdings to many of his relatives and news spread among them that he has lot of money invested in crypto. Though, finally funds were recovered from that guy but he could have even lost his life in the whole scenario. Thus, you should be careful with disclosing about your bitcoin holdings to everyone.

It's like this is all I can think of—your most important treasure. Of course you keep it and don't let others know about it. Do we think that if this is told to others, especially those we don't know or who are close to us, you will tell them where your treasure is? Of course, the logical answer is no.

Can anyone do that to a rich man in this day and age? Isn't there already? Now, in the topic made by Op, maybe the one who holds the bitcoin told the one who asked for the ransom, so that is the condition that was asked of him. In short, the lesson is, if you have holdings, don't talk; just keep quiet. Here on the forum platform, it's okay because we're all anonymous.
