According to the South China Morning Post, the promise of financial liberation offered by cryptocurrency comes with a necessary challenge for the industry: accumulating wealth can render its owners more appealing targets for violent criminals. The publication asserts that focusing solely on safeguarding digital assets while treating the physical security of asset holders as an individual concern is an insufficient method of financial protection.
