First to someone force you to give your private key they must know you using bitcoin, and well they will know only if you expose yourself trading or buying and selling with atm, outside those as i know there is no way to know who is with bitcoin or no.
Well, someone who don't have a deep knowledge in computer is vulnerable to hackers and threats. The in and out of information and your IP addresses can be traced, not mentioning when you are in a social media campaign where you will use your personal fb account, you have a lot of personal information there. Well it won't happen to you when you are going like low on how many bitcoins you have.

If you could be helplessly forced to hand over your private keys then you can as well be forced to hand over your car keys, your house keys, your bags, ATM cards and any valuable item, so in such an instance what will you do? I guess you should be able to apply the same solution if you're being coerced to hand over your Bitcoin private keys.
The Krav Maga motto: “It's better to avoid than run; better to run than de-escalate; better to de-escalate than fight; better to fight than die.”

Forcing you to tell your private keys is a very personal matter indeed. It will just happen when you are boasting about how rich you are or when you scammed a lot of money in a big groups or association. But as we foresee in the future where cryptocurrencies will be the mode of payment, these instances is possible. Just value your life more than your wealth and fight if there is really no choice.

It would be damn tough. With 2 copies paper wallets in 2 different safety deposit boxes in 2 different banks.

Neither less then 100 miles away. And need my brother to be there to open them as well.

If they can do that ..their evil skills are epic ...walking us thru a bank etc...

using a wrench don't help much in that case...( I suppose it is possible...but I mean really)

The likelihood of my 'hot wallet" being hacked is possible however..but keep that low on btc and you are golden...cost of doing business but

Actual Hoarded BTC not likely. I mean go after the facebook twins if that is the case. They

keep same in safety deposit box with a usb, too boot.

No more work.

Much more profit Smiley

(re-direct that is my plan) Smiley

Only someone able to track you and/or know what your person addresses are will be able to threaten you. With everyone else, feigning ignorance or a decoy web wallet is the way to go.

If an attacker has done their research, it won't be hard for them to point a gun to your head. What you do then is decide what is worth more, your life, or the amount of money the person is demanding.

looking for a signature campaign, dm me for that
