There you got it.In South Africa the criminals demanded bitcoins for a child who they kidnap.I don't think they know really what bitcoin is all about.You will read more and more story's about this type behavior of criminals.Criminals  will do this all over the world .I think one of these day's there  will be a program that can track your movements of your bitcoin in the way criminals  behave  nowadays.

Here is the full story 

"  Mpumalanga boy whose kidnappers demanded Bitcoin found
  46 minutes ago   Jan Bornman and Iavan Pijoos
Mpumalanga police have confirmed that Katlego Marite, the 12-year-old boy who was abducted outside his home in eMalahleni this past weekend, has been found.

Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Leonard Hlathi said he was found in eMalahleni on Thursday afternoon.

"We found him around Witbank. He was found alone," Hlathi said.

"I am on my way there and I will get more information. The investigators are with him, so they can’t speak to me," he said.

Marite was kidnapped outside his parents’ home on Sunday afternoon. Hlathi said Marite was taken by a man dressed in black with a green jacket, before jumping into a gold-coloured Toyota Corolla.

"Katlego’s friends ran to his mom and told her about the ordeal, she in turn reported the incident to the police," he said.

A ransom note was allegedly left behind demanding a ransom of 15 Bitcoin for his release. The value of 15 Bitcoin – the decentralised, digital, cryptocurrency – is roughly around R1.5m."

I like the Nano S compatibility because the devise support 15 different cryptocurrencies.The Nano S allows  user to store tokens.
It's easy to used and offers more features than other wallets.I like to keepup with tegnology because the criminals (hackers) also
try to be one step head in bitcoins.

You must always be ready for the unexpected thing.YOU can never see what's  going to happen.
So you'll  always have  to be carefull  for your goverment. They'll always  have something  up their sleeves.
I seen a few advertisements on social media  were they used government people to advertise bitcoin.
I was very surprise.

 My friend try to convince  me to buy Steinhoff shares because it's  a global  company and he is  making a profit.
 I decided not to buy shares but rather buy bitcoins  with my money.
 Meanwhile  a bom exploded in the Steinhoff company because of the dishonesty  share holders .

Currently  Steinhoff shares drop to 0.22 $ a share .At least my bitcoin  is worth  more .Its good if you follow  your gut feelings.

Can we trust the people ?

If the hardware  wallets failed, millions of people would also lose their life
savings and this would have a negative impact on the whole community and
the value of their coins.

Should we trust the people who are responsible for these wallets? Can
the technical people respond, on why we should trust them?

Forced to change

We are hearing buzzwords like, "real-time payment methods" and
"War on Cash" from people in the financial industry.

McKinsey research forecasted back in 2014 that more than 50% of
incremental revenue in almost all banking products in Western Europe
will be digital
by 2018. When we look at the trend, it looks like this is becoming a
reality.

Bitcoin might not replace these financial institutions, but they will
force them to change!

Long distance  relationship can work if both parties are faithful  to each  other.They must commicate with each other.They must make  a effort  to see each other on a regular  basic,but on the end off  the day they must decided whose  gonna  move from their comfort  zone and joined  their partner to start a fresh. If  not then it won't work
out.
