Another Frenchman kidnapped and with a finger amputated held for ransom for crypto, this time the father of an unnamed "rich crypto entrepreneur" : https://www.bfmtv.com/paris/paris/paris-le-gerant-d-une-societe-de-cryptomonnaies-retrouve-sequestre-un-de-ses-doigts-sectionne_AN-202505030361.html (link in French only)

Worrying trend.

Maybe boasting about one's crypto wealth is not such a bright idea after all?

Although I am worried as well.
Someone finds out you or a family member have a few dozen thousands in some wallet, that would be enough for them to take your key from you by force, because that is way easier than robbing a bank.

Interesting you mentioned this. I was about to go out to do my shopping and had on an old teeshirt I bought years ago that has BITCOIN and the logo splashed all across the front.
And then I was like "ok wait, I better change my teeshirt. Maybe ten years ago cool... today? No way. I don't need to advertise to that dude with the 5$ wrench."
<rummages through tee-shirts> "Lets see now...oh here we go ...this MasterCam one looks cool..."

Like all these idiot influencers who like to flex online and pretend they are rich.
Anyone who does a bitcoin flex online is an idiot. You reap what you sew.
