Bitcoin players, beware! Casa co-founder Jameson Lopp recently revealed a disturbing truth: physical attacks against Bitcoin holders have exceeded 100 incidents!
This file records the increasing number of attack cases, including the painful experience of early cryptocurrency pioneer and ALS patient Hal Finney.
Violent threats triggered
In December 2014, Bitcoin pioneer Hal Finney and his wife Fran experienced a nightmare. At the time, Fran was caring for a seriously ill Hal when she suddenly received an emergency call stating that a SWAT team was heading to their home due to a false report of a murder-suicide. The rapid police response triggered by a nearby shooting forced Fran to hurriedly leave Hal, who was reliant on a ventilator.
