Real World Violence

Definition

Real world violence, in the context of digital assets, refers to physical harm or threats directed at individuals to coerce them into surrendering their cryptocurrency. This extreme threat vector targets individuals possessing significant digital wealth, forcing them to reveal private keys, wallet passphrases, or access credentials. Unlike cyberattacks, this method bypasses digital security entirely by exploiting human vulnerability. It represents a severe and tangible danger to high-value digital asset holders.
