A recent phenomenon that cannot be ignored has attracted attention—personal attacks against cryptocurrency holders are continuously increasing. So far this year, there have been 65 such incidents, and the situation is becoming increasingly serious. Even more concerning is that these attacks themselves are showing a trend of escalating violence.

For traders who have been navigating this market, this is not just a matter of numbers. When wealth and risk are amplified simultaneously, the real threats that come with them also become more tangible. Whether you are a long-term holder of Bitcoin or an active trader in ecosystems like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and others, protecting your safety should become a priority. This reflects a serious but often overlooked issue within the entire crypto market ecosystem.

Starting from 65? Brother Tian, these numbers are a bit scary, gotta stay low-key. --- The days of holding coins are becoming more and more dangerous, not only is watching the market exhausting, but you also have to watch your own life. --- This is hilarious, which is why I never mention my HODL position in the family group... really hard to guard against. --- The violent escalation is indeed outrageous, it feels like the crypto world has become a target now that there's more money. --- It should have been taken seriously earlier; if not, the next one could be someone around you. Scary. --- So, brothers, staying low-key is the way to go, don’t post everything online. --- Starting from 65... what kind of data is this? Why did no one mention it before? Or have they been hiding it all along?

Is it really 65 cases? We should double-check that number; it seems a bit exaggerated... But on the other hand, we really should be more cautious. Making money from trading cryptocurrencies easily attracts attention, and there's really no foolproof way to prevent it. If there's something in your wallet, you need to be careful. Staying low-key is never wrong. Why is it always this kind of news? We just want to earn money peacefully. Brothers, you still need to be more vigilant. Don't flaunt your wealth online. This trend is indeed not very good; we need to think about how to protect ourselves.

Has it started at 65? Damn, how crazy does it have to be? Violent escalation is really no joke. Hodl Bitcoin also needs to be cautious of being targeted; can this market still be played? Honestly, the more coins you hold, the easier you become a target, right? Actually, the crypto world is missing one thing—security awareness. Everyone is thinking about making money, no one is thinking about protecting themselves. I just want to know how many of these 65 cases were truly due to exposure of holding status. Living as a crypto user in the real world, you need to learn to stay low-key, everyone. Is this pushing the retail investors out of the country or what? Self-protection awareness cannot be neglected. Keep silent in your social circles when necessary. What does violent escalation indicate? It shows that this circle is being watched, which is normal. I dare not ask if the number of holders is also surging... Otherwise, why are the attack numbers catching up?

Damn, starting at 65? How crazy is that? Is having money really worth making enemies? Being low-key about holding coins is really necessary now, this is no joke. Wow, when did the safety of crypto enthusiasts become such a big issue? So many people earning millions a month but not even daring to leave their homes—it's tragically ironic. Hodling Bitcoin has become a high-risk profession... Honestly, now I have to think about the size of my holdings every time I go out—this ecosystem is really sick. Still rising at 65 per year? Our circle is even more dangerous than a marketplace. Wealth freedom has become a threat to life itself, can't even smile about it. This is the real lesson in risk management—protecting yourself is more important than protecting your assets.

65 cases? How shocking does the number have to be to make the news? I haven't been targeted before, but I really need to be cautious. No wonder everyone is now keeping a low profile; flaunting wealth easily attracts trouble. This is the real risk in the crypto world, more painful than the price drops. Holding coins also depends on the place; if you're not careful, something really could happen. By the way, has anyone around here actually experienced this? It feels a bit unbelievable.
