> Why would I have any reason to believe they'd stop after I told them the truth? They'll probably keep hitting you if you talk. The will surely do it if you stay silent. What use is your crypto once you’re dead?

Let’s actually try to grow up a bit. All these comments are basically written by Nocoiners who hate crypto. In the real world there isn’t any issue like this, because not sure you guys are aware but anyone sophisticated will be using multisig setups for large crypto holdings.

  Also nobody seems to have heard of distress codes. It’s standard in home alarm systems to allow a code which disables the alarm but secretly sends a hostage alarm to authorities. Crypto multisigs will eventually have such setups. This idea that violence will be a more profitable approach when people adopt private currency is simply silly.

    Being that an absolute crapload of violence for very small amounts of money happens every single day I'd really like to know what planet you've been on. When someone walks up and points a glock in your face and asks for the pin of your debit card people tend to give it up rather than risk an extra hole in their face.

      All I’m saying is that nothing about crypto will increase that violence. If anything it will decrease it. Bank debit cards don’t have decoy designs or distress codes. Programable private money with heavy competition will bring solutions to this problem not make it worse. The idea that crypto currency is flawed and violence will be used by criminals to seize wallets is absurd and that the existing legacy financial system has better solutions! seriously what world are these commentators living in.

      I honestly wonder if you've actually ever been robbed at gunpoint. The kind of long drawn out process where you have time to instantiate a local crypto wallet and check it out and see if the story must match up is rare, and more like in the movies. And if the robber does not act extremely quickly and keep the tempo of surprise up they will quickly find out they're not the only one with glocks. Slow, methodical, systematic robbing of any significant fraction of the populace is typical an exercise done by government or de facto government. You know, the people in control of bank accounts in the first place.
