@heartshadows @JamesBaker you have that with cash too, abeit you can't steal the cash bills from the robbers back.
- Not that there ain't custodial options as well, but if I were to wire-transfer money to a scammer, I'd also have no option to recoup that money either.
Not to mention there are solutions like #PaperWallets that can act as #ColdWallets and allow securing funds through traditional means (i.e. [metal]card in a [bank]vault), so it's neither an unsolved nor unsolveable problem: My suggested options (#NowPayments & #ChangeNow) do offer a #fiat payout onto a bank account at a low fee.
- And with #Monero and it's #privacy, there isn't the risk of #kidnappings driven by #BlockchainAnalysis as unlike with #Bitcoin one cannot see the balance, thus not open up a #BlockchainExplorer and list wallets from biggest to lowest balance...
And yes, espechally Bitcoin holders of significant amounts face kidnappings at an elevated rate.
