This is too alarming if this kind of idea will be present in crypto space. How did the culprit know that you have a lot of bitcoin? Unless he/she know you personally that you are a millionaire through bitcoin I think.  Huh

But if the case that your family was involve here, then get my bitcoin for christ sake. I will trace you no matter what.

First i will haggle the price and i will tell the kidnapper that my bitcoin is not 5000 anymore. the maximum price that i can give to him is 2000 btc and thats all of my btc. i will show them my transactions and i will make my some alibi ex: i lose in trading btc through exchanges. 2000 bitcoins is 7 million dollars with exchange value to 1 btc = 3500 USD.

Then after that i will tell to the bitcoin community my experience and i will share my BTC address and will seek for donation on good people.

Life is more important so we will not blame anyone when someone can demand Bitcoin in exchange for the life of someone close to us. It is always possible to buy a new bitcoin to replace someone's life when it's gone.
will also try to delve into it ...
How can someone know that I have a large bitcoin hidden in my wallet ...
 If I gave someone information to close my real people and loved ones.
If such situations happen then it's safe to say that someone that I value that I even share my bitcoin amounts is doing this to me ...
 And now it is not easy to earn especially in low class society. is a walking bank account if they know how wealthy you are.

I really hate Ransomwares, a friend of mine were hacked by a ransomware a few months ago, he had to pay $1500 to the person who sent the ransom to him, he is a designer/developer, and he really needed his computer back.. I dont know why there is still people who abuse the cryptocurrency system to hack people or just steal money, i can not understand it.

I think the kidnapper know you because he know that you have bitcoin

but lets say yess it is happening .. do you believe that the assurance of your loveones when the transsaction is done will be safe?

BITCOIN is not that hard to give in fact its just seconds to send and receive right just my thoughts

But it can be a very hard decision. Suppose all of your life savings are in Bitcoin. And if you are giving all those coins to the kidnapper, then you will be ruined. So in order to save just one life, you may be destroying countless others.

First of all, if you are holding that many Bitcoins (or any other crypto-currency), then please keep it as a secret. From what I have seen during all these years, the Bitcoin sector tends to attract a disproportionate number of criminals, conmen and fraudsters. So it is better to keep your holdings as a secret rather than falling victim to any of these bad people.

In many cases the kidnappers never receive their ransom and are either arrested if killed by a police force trying to free those kidnapped. I want to let the police handle it rather than pay the ransom because you are never sure they will drop the lover.

Among the most important rules with Bitcoin to anyone is that you have a lot of Bitcoin used as a tool to ask from anyone in a ransom form. Of course, life may be more important so we will not blame anyone who can demand Bitcoin in exchange for the life of someone close to us.
The tendency is that even your family will brag about what you earn for your relatives or even some friends there. is not easy to earn especially in low class society

I think this is not possible because how would the kidnapper know that I am a member of a bitcoin community or that I am holding a bitcoin when I am not identifiable in my account. And also, it I cannot find someone who can exchange his bitcoins with mine for a big amount so I think this is not possible. Lastly, why wouldn’t the kidnapper like a true money anyway?

What if you had, let's say....5000 Bitcoins in your custody and suddenly someone demanded it as a ransom in exchange for someone very important to you, would you make the exchange?

5000 Btc is a huge amount of money, But still I would choose it as a ransom, even if it cost more than that. But I will also find another way to keep my loved ones and bitcoin/money safe at the same time. I believe there is still a way, even in the hard times. Because some kidnappers are traitor, even if we give our money to them they will still kill the person we loved, so we always need to find another way.

This is a complete side-note and slightly off-topic, but I read about the DB Cooper case yesterday and it is fascinating. The guy hijacked an airplane in 1971 and got away with $200,000. Although, they believe there is no way he would have survived. If Bitcoin existed back then he could have used that instead of the cash money. hahaha

Why do you think satoshi nakamoto or these top bitcoin miners have hidden their original identity? The sole reason is such threats. There is always one person who is a step ahead of you. So try to conceal the fact that you own any bitcoin as much as possible. It is not anything like discouraging bitcoin but just taking your safety precautions. By the way yes I would give the ransom if the person is important to me.

thats a huge amount of bitcoin well its really hard to let it go
but life vs money i would not dare take chances of losing someone dear to me
people we love are the reason why we do the things we are doing now
this is indeed very difficult, but it is true for you, because we can not possibly keep the money from letting someone go, we can ransom and lose all the bitcoin we have and reunite with our loved ones, this is the step where we can work harder to recover our lost assets

Yes i can exchange my bitcoin for the important person in my life. Its just money you can earn it again. I think they cannot  do ransom and the exchange is bitcoin because they even know if you have lots of bitcoin unless they hack your bitcoin wallet.
