Topic: Bitcoin as Ransom - page 5. (Read 3133 times)
This question is fun! Well if this is the only way for me to ransom someone who is important to me, that's fine. Life is more important that Bitcoin. Bitcoin can be always earned. But Bitcoin should not be my life.
Before I pay, I make sure there is no other way I can take back my love one without paying ransom. I do not want to negotiate with criminals but if it involves my love ones, I'll give away my bitcoins in a heart beat. Bitcoins I can earn again but loves ones only have one life. They are more important than any form of money.
For me,At first life,then money. so i will easily exchange with them(ransomer).
If the close-one is not kidnapped, then may be I won't. I can get a hell lot of security for a fraction of bitcoins I have. Any moving to another country can also be an option
If the close-one is actually kidnapped, still maybe not. Unfortunately, professional kidnappers don't like to keep traces. I would inform the law enforcement along with exchanging the money.

Bitcoin would make an excellent thing to use for ransom seeing as it is pseudo-anonymous if the perpetrator was smart enough he could potentially hide his identity and never get caught. 
absolutely yes because life is more important than bitcoin. you can still earn bitcoin but life of that important person you cant bring it back.
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?
I that case there many possible things that you able to do, calling a police for proper decision for that case, the the question is would you make bitcoin to exchange maybe if there no other option I will do this things because what is the value of money if your love-one will die, I`m sure that no one can denied that you cannot do the same thing.
It is a logic and situational analysis we must to set the priority, what is the most important.

That's just crazy. Of course if somebody I loved was in danger I would pay it. That's just sitting there trying to come up with something to say on the floor I'm to create traffic. 
That would be a much prize being demanded I can't even have a solid 1bitcoin in my wallet then they demand by that, it's really a big amount it worth billions. There is no case if they want a ransom for a bitcoin but I think it would only be a matter of choice by the demander or the one being demanded.

That someone knows you very well that you have that amount of Bitcoin because Bitcoin is decentralized and unless you flaunt it, there's no way they can trace who owns those Bitcoin, I would have to cross the bridge when I get there because right now I don't have that amount of Bitcoin not even 100 bitcoin.

Apparently this must have been a crazy move by someone close to me. Let us even assume the person is just demanding 5000 bitcoin randomly, I am sure he must be stupid enough not to know that 5000bitcoin isn't a small amount of money to come by. Nevertheless, I can't fall for stupid pranks of such. I'd rather let the feds do their work. Even if my mum was kidnapped, she would tell me first not to be stupid enough to fall for such demand.
suppose it's like that and ask for a ransom to me then I will pay, what else is at stake my nearest person, because in my opinion the most valuable property is the family

Well first, how the kidnapper know that i have huge amount bitcoins without telling him nor see the bitcoin address where the BTC5000 at secondly how can i identify who the victim was which he used as a ransom against me? well if that is my family i will definitely give him the 5000 bitcoins.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?
Of course, money is for living and without life, it does not need money.

Your question was not realistic pal, 5000BTC is a huge amount if I am going to convert it into my currency. In the first place, all of us here if you are deeply knowledgeable in bitcoin individually we have our own password and private into our wallet addresses. Probably all of us here also are not sharing our password and the private unless you tell your private to anyone to whom you din't know it personally.

The first question here is how did that kidnapper knew I have a lot of Bitcoins. Second, I don't need to exchange my bitcoins because he is demanding for bitcoin and not for fiat, either way, I will not find any exchanger that will be exchanging that massive number of bitcoins.
But one of my family get on trouble i think i will ask to kidnapper that i want to him in person including my loved ones.

When it comes to kidnapping, it's a matter of life and death and this is something I don't toy with but from where I come from, I don't think anybody can kidnap and then ask for bitcoin becuase I doubt if they know what bitcoin is all about and how functional it could be of they are to ask for it. If I have the amount, I would pay for a loved one.
Everything is digital and bitcoin can be used as Ransom as it happened a few months back when a few people introduced a virus which locks the computer and ask for some money in the form of bitcoin and those who paid, on their computer was unlocked.
That Virus was named as "Ransomeware" and it was the first virus of its type which really attacked the whole world and even the world biggest multinationals we not saved from this. No one would have though this could have happened and those who made this and got a lot of bitcoin from this, remained anonymous as all the transactions were in bitcoins and no intelligence agency can track them or sue them.

The first thing is why do they know you're holding a lot of bitcoin like that ? So the area will decrease down to your family or maybe your friends. So if i had that much bitcoin, i would save it for myself man. Even if you have to do that to save your family or close friend, by looking at the bitcoin price at the present, dude no one can handle that much money for you in one night. So i think it's a hard thing.

I will negotiate if they will accept some altcoin instead.
Kidding aside, I will give it to them. Money can be earned but life is not.
Cheers
