SCUD: The Disposable Assassin. Purchased over the Internet through the Blockchain along with 1000's more. Hijacked for slave labor, never complete their mission, work forever.

If you think my efforts are worth something; I'll keep on keeping on.

security exchange and ponzi were and they still are the biggest problem for this, criminal always play with those, there should be more effort to have a good cold storage for the former

and ponzi site should be take down the same way CP are take down, then you have those playing with extorsions, i doubt you can annihilate all of them

but like you said i think that if everyone use exchange only for trading and don't use web wallet, but local wallet with cold storage, it will be more hard for criminals to hit, because they don't even know that you are holding a fortune

I like very much your approach of rich people needing to stop bragging about wealth to avoid next gen kidnapping techniques. I also like the idea of Bitcoin making people twink twice before spending it on something stupid because they value Bitcoin more than fiat. Bitcoin will bring some modesty and some saving ethics as well.

Taking the example of the autonomous cars, if they are widely used and its possible to hack them:

I would prefer to have lots of criminals publicizing the fact that they are hackable than have all the sheep keep believing the official story that they are totally safe, only to get bumped off by some secret government agency crashing their car because they expressed an unauthorized opinion on social media.

People shouldn't be using unsafe technologies, and masking their problems by cutting off only their most visible manifestation is not something that strikes me as particularly positive or useful.

Taking Bitcoins instead of cash has been an idea that's been rising the last months. It's nothing new. It makes it a whole lot easier to get away with kidnapping crimes and a lot safer for criminals. Using malware and demanding bitcoins for to get rid of it is one or the more popular ways to steal BTC. Kidnappings don't always use it because it can be difficult to locate millions upon millions of dollars in coins.

Bitcoins currency have many advantages , but in recent times, some people are using it as an disadvantage by following
(1) Porn industry-- It's a secret industry and payments here are done in btc as fear of getting caught is less
(2) Drones and terrorism-- Many terrorists and terrorism groups use bitcoins for buying illegal weapons and drones.
(3) This is the most worst one, KIDNAPPING-- Many rich people are kidnapped and asked to pay in btc otherwise they'll be killed, this is not less than robbery .a few days ago, this has happened with a billionaire person in Hong Kong.

Technology can always be used for good or bad. I believe that the good possibilities that BTC brings outweight the bad.

Or as Alan Watts has said that with a bigger yang always comes a bigger yin. You can't have one without the other.
