By not revealing their own identity and try to as private as possible.

Let's get the definition of influencer.


There are many influencers in this forum and they never reveal their identity, although theymos likely have their IP address. Still, I don't know who're them, their face and so on.

o_e_l_e_o is one example of Bitcoin influencer, he taught me many thing about decentralization and non custodial, he influence me to use non custodial wallet in order to support decentralization.

You are right, but what about people that are well known. In France, Ledger co-founder father was kidnapped two or three months ago. The hardware wallet company, Ledger Nano is located in France. So people there know the person and kidnapped his father for a ransom which should have been in crypto payment if not that they were found and arrested by the police.

If you are exposed, not have power to  full anonymity as Satoshi, you have no physical safety. Everybody can be reachable, enforceable.
And if you are in crypto work  business, do not scam, or sanction other people's money if he had done some job for you. Nobody is  invincible.
The blockchain doesn’t forget. And neither do people.

You can still be an influencer without revealing your wealth, right?
Of course, yes!
You can be influential by providing consistent, informative, or educational content without exposing yourself to unnecessary risks or turning your wealth into a public spectacle.
Revealing your wealth publicly can attract scammers or kidnappers.

However, the incident involving kidnapping and ransom in France was a different story.
It seems the kidnappers were well aware of the influencers and their wealth.

Here in Brazil, there's a very popular YouTube channel called "Bitcoinheiros", and on it there's an influencer who uses a pseudonym and a bear image as a kind of avatar. I think that's the only way to maintain privacy and security, especially for family members who have no idea what Bitcoin is and don't understand the risks they face just by being related to someone who is supposedly wealthy...

Here's an example of what their videos are like:

Unfortunately the downside of being pseudonymous when you become influencer is, you might not get the best results.

Just like the channel you mention above, he having 100K subscribers and his video only get 5K views in average. Nowadays, people are prefer to watch the creator instead of the content, even better if the Youtuber have a personality which liked by people and he's passionate to create high quality content.

I think when someone want to be influencer without show their identity, they can, but make sure to not achieve money as the goal. But, use it for popularity, increase your relation with new people etc.

This is one of the worst things for crypto holders. For various reasons we might need to disclose that we are crypto users, such as crypto influencers. Because everyone knows about him, he is holding crypto, and something wrong would happen. Even we have seen that there was a kidnapping that happened during a face-to-face crypto deal. Though we can't prevent such incidents, we can try to minimise them at least.

We shouldn't disclose our holdings and where we are holding funds. We have to maintain different wallets, like one regular and another for storing funds. Shouldn't hold a big amount of funds with us on regular wallet; storing wallet should be secure in some secret places. General crypto users like us shouldn't disclose ourselves as crypto holders. As much as you share the risk of increase for kidnapping or extortion. For influencers, they should move carefully and manage their safety.

Inasmuch as bitcoin is concerned, anyone who deals in bitcoin is assumed to be wealthy and rich, which sometimes is not the reality. Most of these influencers are just hustling for their daily bread online there and they too do not take their safety seriously when it comes to publicity; their family and friends are always at risk because of their public display, and sometimes having them kidnapped for ransom.

In my country, once a person is seen or heard talking about bitcoin, they just conclude you are wealthy and that's the orientation here which is wrong it is only those who are into crypto that would understand but others wouldn't and sometimes they kidnapp relatives and family members for ransom which has happened several times with them being caught. With this occurrence, people have started taking their safety seriously, avoiding public events that would attract publicity to them. No disclosure of your assets publicly, and where they are kept, to avoid attacks and unwanted harassment from the streets.

Only public figures who move about with security that we can say are a bit safe, but outside that, anyone who goes public about Bitcoin without security tends to face danger because they would be attacked and this has been the challenges faced here which has made lots of crypto enthusiasts to go solo and not come out publicly anymore.

The so called Bitcoin influencers should be anonymous in public if they deal with Bitcoin publicly in such a way that people know they own it.
If you must use your real names, don't use them for Bitcoin in manner described above unless you are sure about your security.
This is one of the reasons your bitcoin address rather than real name is tied to your bitcoin assets on a transparent/public Bitcoin ledger.
It's part of Bitcoin standard that should be practiced
