I suspect I'm going to be saying "I told you so" a lot more frequently in the coming years.

Numba go up = risk growing
That’s why it’s best to be anon right. I mean besides home protection what’s stopping someone from Killing you if you don’t keep your crypto at home
What's to stop someone from killing you for any arbitrary reason?
Few folks actually want the heat of a homicide investigation.
It’s prob best to have a “dumby” hw so that they think they got you. I mean anyone willing to break into your home and hold you hostage clearly isn’t reasonable
how did thieves know these specific people had "crypto"? home addresses, etc.?
Fairly easy if they used exchanges, services, or bought products that were involved in prior hacks like the Ledger list
Crypto Bruh's are very good in doxing themselves. From posting their MetaMask balances on X all the way to their location. Then there is data sets being sold on the dark web from hacked/defunct exchanges. Etc etc
KYC creates these situations
What’s your so solution?
KYC should be outlawed

Good thing we can't protect ourselves in Europe.
you can
I may have overgeneralized, but owning guns is much more difficult in the EU than in the USA.
You don't need a gun to protect yourself. You need good opsec, being humble and perhaps not wear your wealth around your neck in form of a Ledger. I've travelled for most of my life. I've lived in many countries and I've experienced some tough situations. Not having a gun handy was never a problem.
Though I do know some Aikido and Muay Thai, I rarely hat to apply the knowledge.
What's the best way to combat this? Multi Sig? Feel like USA constantly closing doors so you can only buy sats that are KYC'd which these companies later get hacked and then we are all vulnerable. I got multi Sig set up but if home invader comes he not going believe that will definately torture me to death. So Multi Sig and guns I guess are the only way to combat this.
I'll post an essay in a few days.
I'd caution against conflating your personal security with the security of your funds. They are separate problems that require separate solutions.
In general it seems home invaders don't want to murder their victims. They just want the money, and even if they fail to get it they tend to just leave.
"in general", BEFORE the satanic MS-13 invasions are about to set the new standard, to be mimicked by the blacks soon after...
#totallyfucked
Thanks I look forward to reading the essay.
I'd love to hear more solutions for people that live in countries where owning a gun to defend yourself is almost impossible.
KYC is one huge threat that can't be ignored.
