People are being kidnapped, tortured, killed.
And most of them made the same mistake you are making now or will make.
How to stay safe before it's too late 🧵
Do you want to brag and share your crypto profits online?
You need to think about this twice, no, ten times.
Criminals have become aware of this - and those who used to flaunt their influence are now targets.
Real threats to digital assets are no longer rare:
1. The game has evolved.
It’s no longer just about protecting your wallet.
Crypto founders and traders face real threats - kidnappings, assaults, and even torture - just to enforce access to their wallets.
It’s not rare, it’s global, and it’s now.
2. A warning case from Paris:
Three masked attackers tried to kidnap the daughter and granddaughter of the CEO of Bymeum - armed with fake guns and pepper spray, in broad daylight.
Neighbors intervened just in time.
It wasn't random.
"They wanted my dad's wallet passwords."
3. David Baland, co-founder of Ledger, lived a nightmare.
In January, he was kidnapped. His captors cut off his finger on camera while demanding $10 million (€ in local currency).
The ransom was paid, the funds were frozen, and he survived.
But this was not an isolated case; it’s part of a growing pattern.
Thailand: A Chinese businessman is tortured for $500,000 in cryptocurrency.
🇨🇦 Toronto: A couple was robbed at gunpoint after their trading gains were posted.
🇺🇸 California: A trader is tracked from the airport - $1.3 million spent.
🇬🇧 London: Home invasion targeting a Bitcoin miner - $800,000 stolen.
This is not a trivial theft; it’s organized crime in the cryptocurrency world, brutal and real.
It’s not limited to a specific area; it’s everywhere.
Social media is a hunting ground.
Most victims had one deadly trait - they flaunted their crypto wealth online.
What was once just a right to brag has now become a beacon for criminals.
It’s not just about the e-wallet anymore, it’s about people's lives.
Data leaks have heightened the threat.
From Ledger to Coinbase to Kroll - breaches have given criminals carefully curated target lists.
They know your name.
They know your assets.
They know your address.
Now it’s no longer just phishing, but it’s appearing in real life.
What should you do now?
- Kill pride and boasting. Fame is not worth your safety.
- Don’t store all your money in one full wallet. Be cautious. Keep safe.
Digital wealth has a new price - your safety.
Cryptocurrency promised freedom from the system, but by 2025, it turned some of its holders into moving targets.
It’s no longer just about breaches.
It’s about who knocks on your door next.
Take your security seriously.
