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.
This is not what we want to hear about those involved in crypto, kidnapping them could fear them out of not wanting to engage in anything cryptocurrencies. The government needs to take action and protect the lives of those that are crypto holders as they are just like other citizens in the country that needs to be protected from this armed criminals. This does happen as we have heard of such cases in the past but I’ve never for once thought about it happening in this manner concurrently in a big city like Paris. Kidnappers now know where the real deal is and it should also serve as a reminder to those flaunting their wealth online to desist from doing that, crypto holder or no crypto holder, it’s a good thing to be discrete in your actions towards how you flaunt your wealth or source of income to the broader world.
