In what extreme situation would you give up the keys? Gun? Torture? Kill your family?
Honestly, this is a question I want to know your answers to

That is a great question... I am not sure, I think the better question is how can you make a setup where you cannot give them your keys but also prove to them that no matter what they do you cannot give them. For example with a geographically distributed multisig or similar setup, but how do you convince them that you really cannot get the keys easily in that moment..?
I think that’s the best security, but it depends a lot on the criminal. He probably won’t understand, and if he does, he might not believe it. Maybe if he’s smart and knows how to talk about it properly, but it’s hard to say
It's logically impossible to convince others that you don't know something, unfortunately.
The best solution is to have a provable delay during which the unlocking of the funds from cold storage can be reversed. First, that is obviously not a 100% solution against attackers willing and able to keep their threat active against you for a *long* time, and second, it really needs covenants to not be a very inconvenient construction.
Que buena pregunta, no lo he pensado

Entregaría mis llaves con tal de salvar a mi familia aunque eso no me garantize de que no le hagan daño
I train for these precise scenarios and pray I never have to find out. Ideally my training and local reputation prevents anything of the sort. But if anyone threatens my family, they will be met with violence.
It is extremely important to he peaceful but not harmless. There are many ways to accomplish this.
I will give up the keys when I decide they've got the drop on me, and I have no choice. I will not let anyone get hurt (except the bad guy if I get to my tools first).
The keys they get will be to a duress wallet.
Smart, in that case, you could buy enough time to make it seem real and then escape, but there are many variables
Coldcard makes it easy to set up trick PINs for different duress situations.
I’m with Lopp on this one, you can’t know the level of psycho you’re dealing with. Even if you give someone all your funds how do you know they won’t seriously harm you or kill you anyway? No right answer.
