I became worried and found it difficult to answer after my friend asked me scary and ridiculous questions about Bitcoin ownership.
he asked. If friends, new acquaintances, or other people find out that you have a sizable amount of Bitcoin, and you don't tell them. Then you are kidnapped with several people covering their faces, with the aim of getting your wallet address with the risk that if you don't give it you will be killed.
And another reason, you have given your wallet address to members you trust, such as family members or your wife and children.

And I want to know, what are you going to do.
Aren't you going to give the bad guy your wallet address, and you let him get killed. However, your Bitcoins remain safe because you have given your wallet address to someone you trust.
Or you will give it away because you still want to live, and you don't have any more Bitcoins.

And it was just a casual conversation with a friend of mine who both owns Bitcoin, and I was just wondering what other people's answers to this dreaded question made me want to create a thread.

I don't agree with the people, who just say "give them your BTC, your life is much more important". OK, but what if they get your BTC and kill you afterwards? Never give anything to your kidnappers, you are valuable to them as long as you have BTC. The moment you give them the BTC, you become a burden and they will try to get rid of you.
The same situation applies when you have cash or gold and you get kidnapped, I don't know why everyone thinks that owning BTC changes anything. BTC transactions can be tracked and the police can find the kidnappers.
