That's true! There are lot's of incidents where people who hodl btc were kidnapped/killed/tortured for seed phrase. Even though if people own very small amount and they think what will someone do by taking these? I would say badactors cannot be convinced and will always see you as a bag of cash. You should never go to btc meetups too(if not many people know about it or not looks familiar to you).

Stay safe!

And OP I'm damn sure someone might be busy reading your posts and comments as soon as they saw your question.
