There have been several high-profile kidnappings of crypto executives or their relatives in France, showing there is now a pattern of organized criminals targeting those thought to possess cryptocurrencies. While other countries have had similar incidents, for now France appears to have taken the lead in some of the boldest attacks. Recently, two relatives (a mother and child) of a crypto exchange CEO endured a bold kidnapping attempt in broad daylight in Paris.
So what can France and other countries do to stem the tide of such attacks? If this is not brought under control, this potentially may drive away everyday people who will have to fear a kidnapping attempt if they hold Bitcoin. These attacks should thus be understood as terrorism being committed against bitcoiners and their families.

The bad thing on here is that even into those small-time holders will be that getting included as a target even if they arent that holding up that much. This is why on personal approach on things then its always been that recommended that you should be that making yourself that low-key when it comes into your crypto holdings. For those who do own big exchangers or any companies that involves crypto, then as a father/husband/family man, then you do know on what you should gonna do on which trying out to secure your family as much as you could even if it means on hiring up securities or bodyguards. We dont know ointo those people who are around on which they are just that observing and watching your move. For those who are just that ordinary people then it will be just that recommended that you shouldnt be that too flexing with your current holdings because you dont know on whose watching you. Its better to be safe than sorry or simply dont wait that there's something that do happen into your loved one sor even into yourself.
