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.That says it all.

This happens with all the news, not only with this one. When your mom watched on TV that a young man was stabbed at the entrance of a disco, and didn't sleep in all the night until you arrived home on Saturdays, it is for the same reason. It doesn't mean that these events usually happen, but once you've heard about them your mind does the trick. So these stories are not very "informative", but news portals have a business to run.
