Incident before EthereumDevcon! Participants encountered armed robbery, please be mindful of safety if you are attending

The annual developer conference Devcon hosted by the Ethereum Foundation has grandly opened in Bangkok, providing technical exchanges for Ethereum ecosystem developers. Devcon, which is held in different cities every year, allows developers from around the world to engage with each other's cultures, making it an academic and humanistic event. Unexpectedly, some developers were robbed on their way to the conference recently.

Developers were robbed, pay attention to your own safety!

Rooch Network CEO Haichao Zhu tweeted that he was robbed by two knife-wielding thugs and lost his phone. Zhu recalled that the incident happened in an instant, with a motorcycle riding past him from behind, and one person quickly jumping off the bike until he was close enough to notice that the other party was holding a knife. In desperation, he raised the hand holding the phone to try to block it. Fortunately, the other party only scratched his hand, took the phone and left on the motorcycle.

Zhu reminds everyone to be especially careful when traveling to Devcon or various project Hacker Houses. Try not to go out alone, even though Bangkok is a safe and interesting place. Like any city in the world, there are still dark corners. Zhu urges all developers to pay attention to their own safety.

Block chain annual meeting frequent violence incidents?

This is not the first violent incident to be reported at a blockchain conference. A similar incident occurred at EthCC in Brussels, Belgium in July this year, when KILT Protocol's growth lead, Oelassar, was robbed near the conference venue, with many criminals targeting people in the cryptocurrency community. Other developers also reported being robbed in Brussels, resulting in knee injuries.

"encryption City" reminds you that the crypto world event is crowded and chaotic, and there may be lawless elements taking advantage of the situation to commit robbery. While joining the event together, you should take good care of your belongings and be vigilant at all times to avoid accidents as much as possible.

Research shows that trading coins may lead to a darker personality? It could potentially reduce the quality of life!

A personality study on the crypto world in Canada shows that 30% of Cryptocurrency holders are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories and exhibit four dark personality traits known as the 'Dark Tetrad': narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism. This may be because people in the crypto world are accustomed to using social platforms such as Telegram and Reddit, leading to a deviation from mainstream media. However, some scholars have pointed out that the sampling of this study may be highly biased.

Another study published in the Journal of Mental Health Policy and Economics pointed out that cryptocurrency traders lag significantly behind their non-trading peers in various aspects of life quality, sleep condition, and stress index, which may pose a potential threat to public health.

Overall, these reports indicate that the psychological stress caused by Cryptocurrency Trading is a significant social issue. Experts suggest that Crypto Assets investors should regularly engage in activities unrelated to Cryptocurrency, such as sports, listening to music, connecting with nature, or cooking, which can help regulate emotions and optimize life and mental balance.
