Why Are Crypto Millionaires Always the Target?
Despite crypto billionaires not ranking high on global wealth lists, they are often in the spotlight due to their online presence and lifestyle. In contrast, traditional “old money” wealth tends to avoid attention, staying out of the public eye.
This visibility makes crypto figures prime targets for organized crime, especially since digital assets offer little physical protection. Experts warn that personal security should become a top priority for public crypto figures.
