Bitcoin is money and therefore thieves will try to steal it because it is money and they can easily exchange it for cash, and it is MUCH easier to launder than paypal. Paypal can just freeze account if reported stolen.
Since NY citizens don't have the same rights as normal people (and can't carry the tools required to protect themselves)
Despite popular redneck belief, having a gun on you does not render your soft, fleshy body immune to tiny bits of metal accelerated to deadly velocity.The only way to be safe(r) from gun violence is to wear one of these everywhere you go:
Some relevant facts:
In other news, angels aren't real. Surprise!
Easy fix. Open carry and trade in a public place with lots of cameras.
There is no open carry in new york city, nor will there ever be. Easy fix, trade in a public place in Manhattan. No one is gonna do a stabbing in public and get away with it there. You don't need to transact at a bank, any busy Starbucks is fine as there will be loads of people around. There are 9 million people in NYC, and hundreds of in person bitcoin transactions per day.
This isn't a "wave of bitcoin robberies", just a good headline for clickbait. Don't feed the "news"-trolls.

Yeah that is pretty scary. Thieves will try to take advantage of any opportunity they can.
If you sell Bitcoin to individuals in person, be very careful! People are being mugged for their Bitcoin at gunpoint. http://observer.com/2015/02/bitcoin-crime-wave-breaks-out-in-nyc/
Well this has been from the very beginning. Always best to have a trade in a public area, and try at all costs to be as secure as possible.
