It's been a HUGE week in Bitcoin land, as @miles 🌞, @jack and the Square team has rolled out #Bitcoin payments for over 4 million merchants 🤯 From a SAFETY standpoint, here are 2 perspectives we're thinking about regarding this news, covering both POSITIVE and CAUTIOUS bases 🧵👇 POSITIVE TAKE: Physical safety is often a numbers game. If bad guys know you're the only Bitcoin/Crypto holder in town, it puts a BIG target on your back. The higher Bitcoin adoption goes, the larger pool of Bitcoiners there is, and the lower the likelihood you will be targeted. CAUTIOUS TAKE: On the flipside, as more people/businesses adopt Bitcoin, and adoption grows as a whole, more thieves will understand the value of BTC/crypto, and seek it out as they carry out their crimes (as well as put more energy in learning how to extract it from victims). Both of these perspectives - positive and cautious - should be in your mental toolbox as these big moves are made in the adoption curve of #Bitcoin. And as always, no matter what's going on in the big crazy world around you, it's important to focus on what YOU can do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. One of the best ways to improve your personal safety is by maximizing self-defense skills, which is why we offer GROUP COUNTER-KIDNAPPING TRAININGS. This is a premium self-defense course taught by the top experts in the world. Request your training HERE 👇

Whether for a normal daily routine, or preparedness for a highly-stressful/life-threatening situation... It's smart to have a grounding procedure in place, which you can recall anytime you need to relax your nerves and optimize your decision-making 🧘‍♂️🧠

Another stellar @npub1ft69...tx3v is in the books! Huge thanks to the event team for making this awesome gathering of minds happen 🇨🇭❤️

One of the clearest lessons we've learned from our Counter-Kidnapping Training experts (more on that in a second) is that the best course of action in nearly all dangerous in-person situations is to REMOVE YOURSELF from the interaction in any way possible. i.e. RUN AWAY. Thus, it makes sense that RUNNING, and your cardiovascular health in general, is a highly important skill not just for your health and wellbeing, but for your PHYSICAL SAFETY in potential dangerous situations as well. One more reason to love what @Bitcoin Runners is doing! 🏃‍♂️⚡️ ...However, it will not always be possible to run away during kidnapping, or other wrench-attack scenarios. Enter Glok's COUNTER-KIDNAPPING TRAINING seminars, which dive deep into the topic of physical security training with the world's top experts. If you're in Lugano🇨🇭 for @npub1ft69...tx3v, our next Counter-Kidnapping Training seminar is coming up in just 2 DAYS (Oct. 26th), closeby to the conference venue.
