“Fuck you! What is this now?” shouts Everts (video: see below). “What is it?” Someone outside the screen yells: “Bitcoin!”, to which Everts responds with: “I have no bitcoin at all.” He says to his interlocutors: “Someone is standing here now, someone is walking with a, um…”
Gun to the head
As soon as Everts has disappeared, Maurice de Hond asks if he should call the emergency number 112. Everts returns after a few minutes and says, visibly moved: “They pulled the camera away, put a gun to my head and said: Bitcoin! Bitcoin!”

Everts told RTL Nieuws: “We are okay now. Three boys aged 20 or younger came in, one with a DHL shirt who pretended to deliver a package. They had a gun and demanded bitcoin. I refused, they pulled the camera out of the laptop I was live streaming with. I refused to cooperate and after a while of yelling they ran away.”
‘Shoot’
After he returned to the live stream, Everts told his interlocutors that the robbers also threatened his children and his wife. “At one point I said: shoot if you want to. I clearly wasn’t going to cooperate and then they ran away. Then I called 911.”
He says it’s “really insane” to have a gun pointed at you. “I’ve heard many times that people have been robbed because of bitcoin. I can’t reach that at all.”
