Again, what can governments do? This is not merely an issue for individuals to consider. It's a society-wide problem, too.
Before the state acts, we should first evaluate ourselves, do they often show off their Bitcoin or other asset ownership?
I do not think we should victim blame. We really should offer consequences to the criminals who committed the crime. Prevention is better than cure always but we also can't just ignore such acts.

because it must be remembered that all of that is like Newton Third Law there is something that triggers it. Therefore the anonymity of bitcoin asset ownership is the main principle and is not immediately echoed if it has no benefits.
I agree that we should be more careful with who we tell our financial situations to but it is not that impossible that a criminal just randomly picks out someone and finds crypto in them. This has happened before. They could invade a house as well and threaten to do something if the victims do not cooperate so there should be actions taken before it gets worse.
