This story is pathetic, the man who introduce me to bitcoin, his kid sis was knapped 2 weeks now and the kidnappers are asking for a huge ransom of N10 Million Nigeria currency but the whole thing looks like a plan work from some people close to him because many people know him to be crypto dealer. Now this money is never available anywhere, the man's only option is to sell his bitcoin and even if he does is not up to the amount. Do you advise he sells and bail his kid sister? Everybody is confuse.
Wow. Your friend's story is very tragic like in the television series that I often watch on weekends. How bad is your friend's condition? Let's say everything you said is true and I will choose the option to sell my bitcoins, because nothing is more important than the safety of my family and bitcoins are useless inanimate objects when compared to the safety of our family.
Then just thought about the amount that was not enough from the sale of bitcoins that he had. To be honest, this is a ridiculous question and you or anyone should already have the answers you need.
Many things happens this days, putting you on a test! At what situations did you think you can sell your bitcoin and forget about bitcoin like it has never exist in your life. Knowing well the situation you're into many must have passed it and scale through without selling. What then will make you to sell even if the price is against you?
To hell with bitcoin if faced with problems like those of your friends, no matter how hard you try to hold onto the bitcoins you have, family safety is far more important than anything. What makes you treasure blind and why are you so considering not selling bitcoins? To me this question is very funny and my statement now is what happened to one of the families you told us about, did you wait for the advice of the people on the forum and only then tell him this?
Very hasty and statements that put you in one place as someone who has no heart. How could you consider bitcoin, when your family is in big trouble and his safety is at stake just because his brother doesn't want to sell bitcoin. LOL
