How do they know the occupants of any particular residence even have crypto?
Like, how many times would they beat me with a wrench before finally believing me when I say "I don't have any crypto! It's fucking stupid, and I want nothing to do with it."
Only thing mentioned was a Coinbase account, so I'm assuming that's how?
Everyone that I work with that owns crypto brags about it non stop. Like it’s some sort of dick measuring tool. I assume it’s the same everywhere. They just cannot resist bragging about how much or how little they own of it.
I’ve never had an interest investing in it and never will.
If someone doesn't brag about it how would you know they don't own it? I know a lot of people who brag, but that doesn't tell us anything about the rest. For that matter I've known a few people to brag about something that we latter found out they never did/had.
True. Could be they are all liars and just trying to one up each other. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The exchanges get hacked. Passwords are encrypted but not contact info and current balances are not. American exchanges are forced to collect accurate KYC info for every customer.
Exchange accounts, word of mouth, and possibly some data breaches here and there. A lot of crypto people aren't quiet about it.
Lmao I don't know how you'd handle getting that back if you got robbed like that. Or if you even could.
Imagine hating crypto so much that you lmao at people being attacked and robbed.
A lot of their targets are public people. For instance, targeting the employees of a defi company.
