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.That says it all.

One thing is anything associate with bitcoin because a news for media houses, that’s how they have been spreading the negative propaganda or streotype about bitcoin. This cases are not so uncommon if we are been honest with ourselves. This isn’t too different about other cases of theft or robbery attacks on people who flaunt their wealth but since it concerns bitcoin the agenda from the media is usually loud, because they don’t treat bitcoin as a currency or even the regular asset, our many news have read of someone been robbed off his gold assets or accessories.

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.

I don’t have to blame the media for always bringing this. Seriously if there was any currency or asset that would have actually stopped or even reduce the number of attacks or robberies like this, it’s bitcoin. My reasons are with other currencies most especially fiat you’re never anonymous because third parties like banks knows how much you have with your identity attach to it, then taking physical cash is another risk on his own. But with bitcoin been pseudonymous, you can go complete anonymous without anyone knowing what you own. But yet people still don’t want this freedom and prefer flaunting their wealth yet.
