The only time that you should be talking about your bitcoin is if someone starts it and they're also a hodler, even at that point, you still need to be vague or maybe even the best thing to do is not talk about it, that's probably the best thing that you can do. There's this meme that I've seen in my social media feed and it talks about how you're the one that's funding most of the food in the family reunion because you keep bragging about your investments, it's a funny thing to happen but there's times that things can get worse for you and it's something that's preventable. Minding your own business will always be the thing that you'd have to be thinking about.

Does this mean that a person who accidentally bought a T-shirt with a Bitcoin logo at the market or a figurine that he placed in his closet in the shape of a coin is putting himself at risk? In this case, do we harm ourselves? It seems that someone is interested in and participates in the popularization of Bitcoin, but on the other hand, he takes on the risk of being caught in the dark corner of people who decided that he has Bitcoin.

Vicious circle?

For some beginners, of course, it will be very difficult for them not to tell about the success they are getting from using Bitcoin as their investment and there are even those who are arrogant about the results they get by telling everyone they know, of course this will be very dangerous for life. and it could even be that someone who doesn't like them will certainly have evil intentions towards them so this will be very detrimental if something happens because of their own fault.

In investing, of course it is very important for us to be able to control our emotions so as not to make decisions that are detrimental to ourselves when investing. Of course, this is never desired by every person who invests and it is true, as you said, we often see those who brag about themselves, of course. Such people are so difficult to control their emotions that they cannot make any profit from their nature.

When someone wants to discuss their finances or their plans for the money they have, of course it would be better for them to choose not to discuss these matters with people they cannot trust, because they will not necessarily give the best advice regarding the plans we have with them. these funds and they could give advice that is detrimental to us.

Some people with considerable assets deliberately show off to the public and their friends, aiming for flexing, and that will make them interested in following suit.
It's quite dangerous because there will be many dangers lurking, but if the destination is not included with their main wallet address, it may still be safer.

The purpose of flexing is to increase followers and there will be many who follow some of the projects that are done, so it will also provide benefits.

Sound advice but what about advocating for the use of bitcoin or cryptocurrency though? I assume that it's going to be difficult to talk about it if you don't say that you're a hodler or hinting that you're a hodler, I know that it might not make sense but the only way to move forward in my opinion with bitcoin adoption or just more people to adopt cryptocurrency is for us to start having more faces than anonymous ones talking about how bitcoin or crypto in general changed our lives. I don't know if this doesn't sound logical to you but to me this makes sense to some degree. But of course, you need to be vigilant about your bitcoin and crypto holdings when you do this since it definitely paints a target on your back, maybe this is a good time to be splitting your assets in different wallets so in the worst case that this happens, you're mitigating the problems.

Don't brag about your investment or how much you have, it is like asking for someone to target you for a quick cash.
Some might understand that flexing what you work hard for or achievement is so satisfying, but at least minimize it don't show everything that doesn't need to be shown in public.
Make sure that you and your family is always safe.

As from someone who has been this scene for a while now. That doesn't quite help. Even if you downplay it and say you own only $4000 worth of it. And you, think back saying that back in the year 2015 at the bottom. What do you think those people thinking now? Even if you actually sold most of it ages ago, you would still have money left, and when ever you accidentally gave impression that you have money, and those people will remember you speaking about it back in day, and they probably think you just got more of it during these years. And then they do the math.

And seriously, with hindsight, i was stupid when i bragged about btc back in time. Because why would i even ever need to brag about money? It's tacky, in poor taste and serves only people with low self esteem.

but we know some people cannot help themselves to make them looks ahead of others this is why

actually most of the time it is not flexing but that is something to make them look richer than their friends

And this is correct, we are not just making ur self vulnerable from bad people but also our family
so try not to lure hackers/scammers/robbers to enter your system .

A lot of posts underestimate the lengths that a criminal would go through to get what they want from you, if you're held at gunpoint/knifepoint, don't risk goading or aggravating the person by saying shit that would lower your chance of survival in that encounter, the best thing that you need to do is to comply and do what it takes to survive it. Don't be a hero and try to wrestle with them, you don't know if there's other people that's involved or is with them. Although you can't really prevent your bitcoin from being stolen during that traumatic encounter, there's ways that you can mitigate or prevent the damage that you'll get from them before that encounter, having your funds split in different wallets and only having one wallet available in your EDC phone is the best thing because that way you're complying but at the same time, you're not losing all of your bitcoins or whatever crypto you have all at once.
