>>60508186 (OP)I'm not finding any articles on this (Google actually turns up this thread if I search for info on it).
What's your source? Also, what country did he live in?
>>60508527>See this is the major flaw of funny money, there's no physical security in it.It's a problem with any sudden inflow of "unearned" wealth -- there's a certain segment of sociopaths who think that they're entitled to rob you of it. There was that famous lottery winner in WVa who had even been a successful and rich businessman before he won hundreds of millions. After he won it, everyone around him started scamming him, his granddaughter got murdered, and IIRC he got murdered too.
I myself made the mistake of telling a coworker about Bitcoin in 2015. During the 2017 runup he suddenly started pretending to be my best buddy. In 2018 he tried to drug me at a bar. During WuFlu in 2020 when I was stuck at my parents' place taking care of them, he burglarized my apartment. In 2021 he tried breaking in again while I was there. Unfortunately, where I lived at the time, the police were fucking useless and refused to listen to the crazy foreigner about his foreigner drama. I ended up 3D-printing some weapons to deal with him in case he tried again.
Do keep in mind that in 2015, it was at $250 and I don't think anyone sane was predicting $20K, $69K, $111K, or the current $107.8K. At the time, Bitcoin was just a useful way to buy things online from a country where us stupid foreigners weren't allowed to obtain credit cards.
Anyway, a little basic physical security means that my BTC stash is still intact (other than what I've spent on living expenses).
