What the fuck? Bitcoin is just going to make this shit easier, everybody's financial situation is going to be exposed once they share their wallet.
You FUCKING idiots, BTC is not secure at all!!!

how are you going to rob them?

you can look at the market cap on a stock and see how much money the company is worth.... can you steal the company?

Yeah, I don't like the idea of every balance and every transaction being public. Privacy is a cornerstone of a free society. Take that away, and Bitcoin starts to look rather dystopian.

Are you fucking retard? Tell how the fuck you can do a robbery using the store public key. The owner of the shop, owning private keys, is drinking a mojito :fucking somewhere else, literally no robbery can happen.
This is a rare example of 50IQ level, even monkeys understood how bitcoin works.

How the fuck would you be able to rob the store ? The cashier doesn't know the private key.
And the money would be transfered to another wallet regularly anyway.

You can say that about literally every rich / public person in the present. Guess what if you have a lot of assets and people know who you are you beef up security.

So don't tell people how much btc you have, what's the problem fag?

No no no and no.
This happens way easier with cash than BTC.
One nigga point you a knife and ask all the cash in your wallet -> easy peasy
One nigga force you to go to an atm at 3am with no one around -> medium risk
One nigga knows that you got a lot of BTC, but if you have multiple wallets and multiple priv key and you are really forced, you can use an emergency one with some peanuts on it.
“Oh look he is rich”
Go ahead and try to do a robber with Rothschild you retard

Ever heard of time delay safes? It'd be even easier to just put an hour time delay on transfers leaving their wallet.

Getting someones money out of the usual channels that they occupy now would take an astronomical amount of time relative to just hitting someone in the face with a wrench until they spit out their private key, crypto is easy to move.
