Kidnap bitcoin
Invisible bitcoin can not only make people rich or poor overnight, but also bring people worry about their lives
According to Ukrainian media reports quoted by the daily telegraph, on Tuesday (December 26), Pavel Lerner, CEO of the British bitcoin exchange exmo, was kidnapped after leaving his office in Kiev, Ukraine, and dragged into a black galloping car by a group of masked peopleafter the above news came out, a spokesperson of exmo told the daily telegraph that we are doing our best to speed up the search for Lerner and welcome all clues from the outside world. Exmo's business is running as usual and all users' funds are absolutely safe. According to the company's official website, the platform has more than 900000 users
after the kidnapping incident attracted public attention, exmo also announced on official twitter on Thursday that it had been attacked by DDoS (distributed denial of service) with the intention of destroying platform transactions
according to Wall Street reports, at the beginning of this month, when bitcoin rose to more than US $13000, the payment system of nice hash, the world's largest digital currency mining platform, was hacked and bitcoin in users' wallets was stolen. Bitcoin millionaire, a bitcoin information website, has since estimated that as many as 4736 bitcoins were stolen by hackers, with a total value of more than $62 million
interestingly, as a foreign netizen imagined, after the kidnappers received the ransom, if bitcoin continued to appreciate, it would be OK. If bitcoin collapsed before the gloves turned, wouldn't it be a "huge loss"
In fact, this is also the old question in the minds of many investors - how long can bitcoin's investment boom last On December 2, when talking about bitcoin in public activities, pan Gongsheng, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said that it was a decisive and correct decision for regulators to shut down bitcoin trading platform and stop ICO a few months ago According to BBC news, on December 14, Andrew Bailey, CEO of the financial conct authority (FCA), the UK's top regulator, issued a warning to investors, saying that bitcoin buyers should be ready for "full compensation". Bitcoin lacks the endorsement and support of the government and the central bank, and its risk level is the same as gambling, he saidon Thursday (December 28), the South Korean government announced the countermeasures to combat virtual currency speculation, and considered closing some virtual currency transactions, so as to curb excessive speculation. In addition, the South Korean government has decided to implement the real name system of virtual currency trading and expand the investigation authority of the Fair Trade Commission, the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency
In a statement, the South Korean government said that cryptocurrency speculation in South Korea has gone too far and has become irrational, according to the report. The government can no longer allow abnormal speculation to developthe Indian authorities also issued a warning. On Friday, India's finance ministry warned investors about the risks of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, saying digital currency investments look like a Ponzi scheme, Reuters reported. In a statement, India's Ministry of Finance said investors and other participants in digital currency transactions were "entirely at their own risk" and advised that it was best to avoid such investments
but from the perspective of optimists, bitcoin is not as static as gold. As a virtual currency, its software code is constantly developing, and its functions can be constantly adjusted, improved and updated, and its value can be realized in unimaginable ways, such as, Many bitcoin fans are looking forward to bitcoin's "lightning network" (an improved way to facilitate payment). If bitcoin gets more attractive functions in the process of continuous evolution, people can even use it for convenient and fast cross-border payment
according to China Securities Journal, based on the sustainability of bitcoin development, bitcoin supporters believe that even if the market value of cryptocurrency expands to 20 times the current value, the market will not go crazy. However, as far as bitcoin itself is concerned, with more and more new technologies coming out, bitcoin's share in the cryptocurrency market will show a downward trend in the future
Hong shuning, a senior researcher of Suning Institute of financial research, recently wrote an article, imagining two situations of "truly killing bitcoin":first, all bitcoin development teams are conservative and complacent, no longer absorbing the latest scientific and technological achievements to improve themselves, resulting in the emergence of a new digital currency with all aspects of technical indicators exceeding bitcoin, It is widely accepted by the society and then replaces bitcoin. This is the failure of bitcoin, but also the success of virtual digital currency
Second, there are serious loopholes in the bitcoin protocol or wallet software, which lead to the security of the whole bitcoin system can not be guaranteed, a large area of funds are stolen, sold at a low price and uncontrollable in the short term, and the social confidence in bitcoin is completely lost
so. In this world, money is easy to use

if the threat of extortion is violence, the perpetrator claims that it will be carried out in the future; The threat of kidnapping violence was implemented at that time and on the spot. The perpetrator of the crime of extortion does not abct the victim to hide and control, while the crime of kidnapping should abct the victim to hide and control
extended information:
the constituent elements of the crime of extortion:
1. Subjective elements
this crime shows direct intention in subjective aspect, and must have the purpose of illegally extorting other people's property. If the actor does not have this purpose, or the purpose of obtaining property is not illegal, for example, the creditor uses threatening language to urge the debtor to speed up the repayment in order to repay the long overe debt, it does not constitute the crime of extortion
The object of this crime is a complex object, which not only infringes the ownership of public and private property, but also endangers the personal rights or other rights and interests of others. This is one of the distinctive characteristics of this crime which is different from larceny and fraud. The object of this crime is public and private propertyBitcoin can be said to be the ancestor of virtual currency. It was launched in 2009. At that time, the value of bitcoin was very low. One dollar could buy more than 1300 bitcoins. At that time, a programmer in the United States exchanged 1000 bitcoins for two pizzas, which is often ridiculed by everyone. A lot of people are saying that if his bitcoin had been preserved until now, he would have been a billionaire. But who knew that bitcoin would be so valuable in modern times? At that time, few people knew about bitcoin, so there was no hype. At that time, bitcoin had no economic purpose. It was just used to exchange game equipment
now the world uses a lot of electricity to dig bitcoin every year, because the cost of electricity is very high, and the market value of bitcoin is volatile, so the benefits obtained by digging bitcoin are very small

I don't think they will regret it. They will only do it if they are desperate at that time, and many people won't regret what they have done. After all, things have been done, and it's useless to regret it.
The purpose of these people is to get a sum of money and then go abroad to have a good life. If they didn't ask for bitcoin at that time, if they extorted a large amount of money, it would be easy to find out. After being discovered, what is waiting for them is the legal sanction. Unlimited stay in prison, but also some bad eyes to follow them, all people will despise them. So they will have a bad life in the future . In this way, they will find that blackmailing bitcoin is a good and safe way, so they will never regret what they have done< br />The reason for this blackmail virus attack has no direct relationship with bitcoin itself. The instry is worried that bitcoin will be "demonized". The reason why hackers want to pay ransom with bitcoin is that they only see its advantages in global transfer and remittance, and thus become the chosen means of payment
