Re: Another example on why we should be quiet and not flaunt our crypto in public
Here is another example on why we really need to be quiet in our social media and not tell about our crypto investment as we might be the next target.
In this case, streamer and content creator Kaitlyn 'Amouranth' Siragusa has been the target by this criminals as they force her to reveal where in the stash of his crypto. It's good thing that she has the presence of mind to bring the criminals to his husband who is waiting for a ambush as he was able to hit one of the assailant and husband and wife escape and the criminals was caught later.

I think this story about criminals targeting you just because you have Bitcoin is just one of many FUDs meant to scare normies ,spreading FUD to prevent hyper-bitcoinization FUD like quantum computers destroying Bitcoin or Bitcoin polluting the environment is also nonsense. Interestingly, these FUD stories are spread by mainstream media
Think about the difference between having 2 million dollars in Bitcoin or having it in a bank. Either way, you can become a target for criminals who might try to kidnap you or someone close to you and demand that you bring them cash or transfer money to their bank accounts in some offshore locations, and so on. Bitcoin gives the advantage that no one needs to know how much money you actually own. Often, those who help criminals with such information are employed by banks. But regardless, if you have big money, you can be a target no matter where you keep it.
