Yeah but why is that unique to bitcoin? How is this different than if people started showing up at Google employee's houses because they know they're well paid? How is this different than people showing up at any wealthy person's house to kidnap them?
My point is that keeping their address secret isn't how wealthy people protect themselves, so why is this so different for the avalon team?
- speeder 13y agoBecause they are perceived as wealthy, and are not really wealthy, meaning people will target them for their perceived assets, but they are not wealthy enough to hire extensive private security (And most likely, the parents of that employee don't live in a reasonably safe city either).
- john_b 13y agoThe difference here is that they aren't perceived to be wealthy now, but perceived to have the means to generate significant wealth quickly in the future.
