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.

Prevention is always the best when it comes to those hypothetical scenarios, if you have an amount of money which is high enough for you to be worried about being kidnapped, and in the country where you live this is a real danger, you need to take steps to make sure this does not happen to you, and this will probably mean storing your seed words in a place different than your house, this way you can reduce to zero the chances of any of your friends or family members finding out about your bitcoin holdings which could put your life at risk.
