A violent incident occurred in San Francisco early yesterday morning—a certain encryption investor was home invaded at gunpoint and had $11 million worth of digital assets stolen. This "physical attack" method is becoming a new threat in the encryption circle.

Unlike traditional hackers, these criminals come directly to your door and demand your private keys at gunpoint. No matter how advanced the technology is, personal safety is the first line of defense.

High-net-worth holders really need to reassess their security strategies: avoid exposing assets indiscriminately, consider multi-signature solutions, and even physical security measures. After all, decentralization does not protect your personal safety.

One word, fear. 11 million just disappeared, this is worse than a rug pull. --- What’s the use of contract auditing, getting robbed at your doorstep is the real loss. --- Private Key is life, and now even home isn’t safe. --- That’s why I don’t have a penny, I’m not afraid of being robbed at all. --- Multisig can't save you, Cold Wallet can't save you, in the end, you still have to rely on bodyguards. --- Web3 security has upgraded again, now you need an armed defense skill tree. --- No wonder those pros have all moved to the UAE, it’s a game you can’t escape.

Wow, now it's really like a knife to the neck demanding the Private Key, even with unbeatable technology one has to kneel. There's no way to do anything when the gun is pointed at you, it's truly the most heartbreaking vulnerability in crypto. Did 11 million just disappear like that? Bro, how low-key do you have to be, it's totally a social death level. Indeed, you really have to hire bodyguards, otherwise, how can you live this life? Multisig, multisig, multisig, it's really not a joke, everyone. In this day and age, having money is actually dangerous, laughing to death, Decentralization can't save your life. But speaking of which, how brainless does this guy have to be to expose his asset location like this? No matter how good the Wallet security measures are, it's useless if the person is gone. Will the police make it in time, or has the person already run away? Just having a camera at home isn't enough; you need to install bulletproof glass level protection. No wonder some Large Investors have already emigrated, turns out such things really happen.

There are too many issues, 11 million USD just disappeared like that? The key point is that even unbeatable technology can't withstand a gun, that's awkward. I mean, why must you live in San Francisco? Being high-profile in this circle = asking for death. Multi-signature can't save your life, you still need to find a bodyguard... or just go incognito, pretending to be poor is the strongest defense. Now I believe it, true private key management is actually physical management, do you understand what true self-custody means? I feel like in the future, large investors will have to learn counter-surveillance, blockchain security is useless, personal safety is the real Pay to win.

Damn, this is why I never show my wallet address on social media, so scary. I've seen too many people targeted for flaunting their wealth; no matter how good the technical protection is, you can't stop a bullet. Now I understand, the real private key is something you have to protect with your life.
