One of the negative things when you have done something that brings out attention and it turned out that it could put you up into harmful thing. Good thing that the father or husband did made out some words or saying up about on how much they are that bringing coins or amount with them. For sure they would be that targeting out the family since the primary thing that comes up into their mind that they do have those tons of coins into their wallet and would be planning out to abduct and thats the possible thing could happen. Its a good decision for them to cut off that actively posting about their travels and spending or their route on which its understandable just for the security purposes then thats the most ideal or safest way for you to deal up with possible risks and danger. We are now living in a digital era on which taking up those informations on something that you do want then you can actually be able to obtain it out on a simple search but of course it will be depending if the said information is available.

For those who had been that making up those all in decisions wayback into those early years are taking up some attention now on which its normally be dug out because of the current price on what Bitcoin do have. Its not bad to be open or sharing up but when it comes to money then you can expect that there would be criminals that already sticking up into your face and just waiting up for the right opportunity for you to be abducted to get those precious coins since they are wary that you have tons of it. Its a good step that you are making up some clarification so that they are wary that you already made out some security measures on which with that then they would be losing up interest on targeting you.

This is the first time I’m hearing about the ‘Bitcoin family’, a quick google search shows that they are pretty famous and have been around for about 5 years, vlogging about their bitcoin experiences in different countries and also speaking at conferences. Their story is incredible and I feel it may be exaggerated, if it’s true that they actually sold everything they had to invest in bitcoin then their strategy was quite extreme in my opinion.

That seems a little bit over the top. I can't imagine being so obsessed with preserving my BTC wallets and seed phrases(and my Bitcoins aren't that much). I don't know how this guy sleeps at night.
Nowadays you instantly become a target, right after you reveal that you have significant amount of crypto. This sucks. Maybe the better option for the "crypto family" would be to just sell most their BTC for fiat and use traditional banking services. That way, when something bad happens, the possibility of the family getting back their money still remains. Not having reversible transactions is a double edged sword for the crypto community.

If it is necessary to restore access to the wallet, a long chain of quests is expected.


It's a reasonable approach: carry as much money as you are willing to lose. But the question arises, when he runs out of "pocket money" on his phone wallet, he will need to replenish it and then he will need to travel across 4 continents to access the main wallet? Probably, in his case there is a need to have 1-2 more intermediate wallets (in addition to the main one, which is the main piggy bank), in which a little more money will be stored than in the wallet for "pocket expenses".

With the rise in the cost of bitcoin, the fame and popularity of this family is starting to create an additional threat to their safety. Now they will be careful in social networks, which is very wise.

Now he repeats the same mistake for telling his privacy to public.

If he get kidnapped, the kidnappers will likely force including torture him until he share his secret where he hide the encrypted files across four continents. Why he didn't just being simple, "oh I hold most of coins in hardware wallet which I hide it somewhere" or the other clever thing he create a made up story if he has gamble all the money and went broke.

It is not good for us to share our happiness on social media because we never know what people out there will do with our happiness that they see.

It's always better to practice silence on everything we do. Keep your mouth shut on vacation. Keep your mouth shut when you're pursuing your passion, your goal. Likewise, when we achieve the results. There are chapters where we don't have anyone applauding even if there is, it's just fake. The truth is that no one wants our success to exceed theirs.

They have exposed themselves with a journey that began by selling all their possessions to buy Bitcoin. Although the initial goal was as prove, over time it backfired where their family identity could be monitored by many criminals. If from the beginning this did not share their journey, maybe we would not know their story, the decision to no longer vlog is very appropriate and can reduce the monitoring of criminals a little.

It is a smart move, especially with reducing the updates about their current travel location. It is better to post about a place or location after you have left there, not while you are still there. Posting on social media your current location has gotten so many persons not just kidnapped but killed.

I commend the family for their decisiveness.

Not absolutely because, selling your entire properties including your houses for investment is such a risky and a worse came to it in the volatile market that can't not be predicted of when the price will rise for them to make profita.

Well... I hope they had some other source of income that had been providing them the funds sustaining them all the while that could had comforted the family not to had hesitated to sell the Bitcoin all the while.
But that does not still make them smart ones.
Also, haven to had been let the public know about their Bitcoin investment and keep updating about their whereabouts have not been a good security move but at least, there were able to be reformed in realizing their mistakes and decided to then keep their whereabouts untold anymore.

However, we can imagine the amount of Bitcoin they bought at that value of $900 per Bitcoin and had been holding and the outcome of their profits after being invested on the Bitcoin despites the risks is what I would accolade them for.
