Yeah I have heard enough of how to secure your bitcoin and other crypto asset to avoid from getting scammed or hacked or even attacked physically to forcefully steal your bitcoin. And of course we should not talk about our assets publicly or in the internet and social media platform. I mean, all of these are correct and what should everyone must of follow. But, keeping it a secret even with your own family, like your wife? I think that is just overreacting and so wrong on so many levels. Why would you keep a secret to your wife? when all you have been holding onto why you get married is because you trust her and she trusted you too. That's just don't make sense to me though.

The exact amount of how much bitcoins I have and how much money I am investing in bitcoins should never be shared with anyone else as I feel it must be a secret for me. I bragged about my investment to everyone and if I shared how much I had invested with everyone, it would surely bring us bad things later. By telling others about my investment, why should I unnecessarily create jealousy about my affairs in others? I am investing and I am taking the full risk of the money so only I will know about this and there is no question of anyone else knowing. Those who are real investors keep all the investment matters to themselves and they never discuss their investment matters with anyone else. Hopefully we should follow the type of investors who don't brag about their investments but prefer to keep their investments private.

I think it's completely stupid to reveal to social media or other people how much wealth we have or how much bitcoins we have invested. If we keep telling everyone about our particular assets, we may be exposed to physical threats, making it more likely that our assets or invested bitcoins will be stolen or hacked. Moreover, now people are more greedy towards digital assets especially Bitcoin. If a person has a large amount of bitcoins, if someone finds out, that person can be in great danger because other people can covet his wealth.

Additionally, Bitcoin is not legal in most of the countries where our community members are affiliated, making it even more dangerous to disclose Bitcoin investments in their countries. I have also heard of many investors who are investing in Bitcoin but they didn't even tell their family about their investment maybe they did the right thing for their own safety. Investing in Bitcoin and keeping our investment safe requires security. When I first invested in Bitcoin then when my investment passed 2 to 3 years then I told my family but it was revealed by doing a job.

Yes we don't have to barge on how many Bitcoin we have or how much Bitcoin wey have on our wallet, it's wrong and I like the fact that you made mentioned of how someone might not be of good minded to you and the thought of evils might enters them to harm you so that they can take what's rightfully yours. There's a good purpose of using the multi signature setup, with it you can regain access to your Bitcoin easily as long as you didn't forget what and what you used in setting it up. There's always a target on every Bitcoiners in some places both 9n social media they are there, so we should be careful with who we tell our investments plans and what we have access to.

This isn't about sharing it with your spouse or your parents, this is about online and you can keep it a secret forever online. You just do not share it, it is that simple. Some people do not have anyone in their life, not many friends, maybe not even any friends, not parents, not a spouse, they are lonely and they feel the need to get that acknowledgement online so they look for social media, that is usually who social media was created for.

And when you think about that, you will realize that it is going to help with those peoples morale, but also if they share it there, because they can't share it with a loved one, they will end up with a situation that will not be all that easy for them, it should be a little harder to handle.

That could be true, but I've been mugged a couple times before (not a good thing I know, even weirder thing to brag or tell people about lol) but I've never experienced these mofos asking me to open my binance or my coinbase wallet to transfer my crypto towards them lol. I can see thig happening more in the future as we become more digitized but as of now, that's one absurd thing to happen and even more absurd to experience. Anyhow, the point I'm trying to make is the same as Darker's you gotta choose between your life and your money when you get into that kind of situation, and 9 times out of 10 you will always end up choosing your life, you may experience the sorts online when you get your shit rocked by a hacker on the net but why would they force you to cough it up when they can just steal it away from you?

Just don't go out of your own way letting people know that you have stuff that they can take advantage of, be it fiat or crypto. You won't go wearing rolexes and cuban links on a dangerous alley in a crime-infested neighborhood, and I would assume you wouldn't post your wallet's contents on social media either unless it's secured, or to farm engagements in the crypto space.

I cannot dig the thread in gambling section though this is different from your point yet the idea is almost the same when a Lotto winner claims His winning but wearing a mascot costume because She wanted to hide her identity so to the family not knowing the winning, and for the reason that she wanted to teach them how hard to earn money and this is not to spend in luxurious way.
maybe this concept comes towards your idea here.

It is very dangerous when such information is disclosed because it might even bring envy and envy will lead to plotting, That is how they end up killing innocent individuals, just because they are after that person's assets or even get kidnapped, Because of my study, most of these kidnapping cases are caused by the victims themselves because they cannot keep there mouths shut, but family is even preferable because if anything should happen, they will know what to do in that case.

when we are outside, we think people are not watching us or what we are doing, and you can never tell if this person is a criminal or not we should learn how to be careful about everything when we are outside, they can know you are into crypto but your assets should not be disclosed.


with all the advice given to people, they will still fall, victim, they never learn, if they hear about the money they are no longer concerned about anything again whether it is real or not, all they think about is how they will make money. as bad as you will want to share your portfolio with people maybe for recognition, it is better to know who you are sharing with so that you don't get mishandled or even get you your seed phrase stolen forcefully, and that is why we have to take note of our environment.

smart people won't disclose, take the whales for example you can hardly know who they are no one will want to disclose their identity not because of anything but because of security reasons, and that is how they have been keeping safe all this while.

There are several conditions in this case because trusting someone including a partner does not mean having to give all of what we have because no matter how good the relationship and how good it is sometimes when talking about material and money everything can be damaged so maybe this is a consideration that must be considered so that we still have to remain selective including to family and partners.

Maybe not everyone does that because the fact is there may still be some people who still trust their partner more than anything else but for others they prefer to trust themselves to a certain point before finally trusting someone else (partner).
That is also not a mistake because it does not mean that it does not respect the partner because after all, all forms of anticipation must always be done because even in a couple's life we must have our own privacy which may still be guarded from their partner.

Most times, I try as much as possible to avoid any scene that could lead me to talking too much, that is why I rather mentain my privacy because walking alone is far better because privacy matters.

I have seen some of my forks who made the mistake of allowing those around them to have knowledge about his Bitcoin holding and the result of that is always bad, some get rubbed while others hard their money borrowed without payback because those around them thinks and believe that they have so much money since they hold Bitcoin.
