I think this is not development or technical but bitcoin general discussion.

nevermind.
You can place 2 passwords on a Trezor and disclose only one.
But there is still the possibility that they kindly ask you about "is there more"

so best is, do not disclose your bitcoin.
Its like do not disclose if you won in lottery.

There are directions for setting this up passphrases: https://wiki.trezor.io/Passphrase

Ledger also support passphrases, with instructions here: https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005214529

The security of these second (or third, or fourth, etc) hidden wallets depends not only on your additional passphrases, but also in the attacker not knowing they exist/plausible deniability. This obviously means not publicizing them, but also making sure they aren't obviously linked with your other accounts via blockchain analytics.

This is the most sane thing to do, however there is a problem: If you become rich, you are going to want to buy a nice house, and owning a nice house puts you a target as "someone that has money", so you are at risk already. Of course if the thieves don't know you don't own no BTC the wouldn't typically ask for it, but what im saying is, there is no free ride, unless you decide to be rich while having a poor lifestyle to not become a target, but who the hell wants to live on a shithole when you can just move into a better neighborhood. Hire guards to protect your property, what can I tell you?


As for having 2 passwords that disclose different amounts, I haven't looked into that, but it's possible. Then there's also perfectly possible you have passworded stuff that you legitimately forgot. For instance I have some encrypted hard drives that I cannot access because I forgot the passwords, so if someone wanted to access and was hitting me with a wrench it would be useless since I just don't know the passwords.

So basically, either keep a low profile or hire physical protection from criminals trying to steal your money.

I had to stay very low to avoid such attack. Disclosing your real identity to these mafias will not yield anything good except bad, having security guards, watch dog's, security alarm among others will not save that individual who could not hold his/her mouth in the public about wealth of any sort. The best security is living a secret life void of friends either good or bad. Just my own opinion anyway.

I would prefer to not telling anyone I have btc. I will keep it secret from anyone except my family.

Use a separate wallet and split your btc in each wallet but save the most btc you have in a very private wallet like ledger or trezor and if necessary you can rented safety box in a bank but don't tell the banks what you save

Your btc is your responsibility, don't make it easy to tells anybody you don't know as you don't know if you are the next target of the crime.

Not telling anyone that you own btc is the best possible option.The onwer of QuadrigaCX will most likely killed,because some criminals knew that he had the private keys for the entire QuadrigaCX crypto exchange.
I still don't know wether or not QuadrigaCX was an exit scam and how this guy disappeared,so I'm just guessing.

I'll keep myself lowkey for this and if ever I'm on that situation, I'd tell that I already sold all I've got.

As long as no one knows your worth or whatsoever you're holding, then you may be free from this attack,its just the same way people who are rich in fiat are attacked
But with cryptocurrency,it is different as you can afford to stay anonymous easily and not give away much,some people are loud mouted and give themselves out.
As long as your attackers aren't sure you've got some BTC, you can always deny it

And How about a wallet stored in a decoy system on a dummy partition, hidden at boot and encrypted?

Considering such sophisticated and convoluted process, separate machine should be used, at least for testing and setup training.
If we can provide some obscurity for the transactions of our hidden wallet, then this should do the trick.
I was using this feature for quite some time back in the day, it was a pain in terms of ease of access, although safety first right?
Good for security paranoiacs, rather not an everyday solution.
