They should also make efforts to minimize their travels, because some people may already know their worth and could go the extra mile to track their movements. If such individuals get accurate intel about the routes they might take before reaching their destinations, they could attempt to lay an ambush. Desperate people can go any length to achieve what they want.

People that invested in Bitcoin at the early stage are the ones that are benefiting from the network. Just imagine someone that Invested in Bitcoin when the price was $900, this is a huge profit from them to have seen the price of Bitcoin hit $120k. This is more than 125x in profit  accumulated over these periods when some holders must have sold their entire portfolio because they saw the price of Bitcoin hitting all time high thinking it was a good time to sell and buyback later. Holding has been the secret for those that want to benefit from investing in Bitcoin.

When you are such a person, that went into BTC that early, the next best thing to do would be to stay humble about it, especially on the Web.

That would save you a lot of nerves and health in the process.

Agreed.

Some people would choose to just get what they worked for through their journey with BTC and move on, not following it afterward, some would return to it once in a while when the time of the cycle is right, but each person is different..

He did the right thing for the safety of his family, i never heard about this family before but what they did in 2017 was very risky but gladly it turn out good for all of them and now they are living the life they want, things in Thailand are not that expensive either they can live longer on whatever profit they have and they did the right thing by not posting vlogs but if the community wants to know they can still post.

They can visit a place and make vlogs and until they are in that place they should not post those Vlogs online, and when they leave the place, they can post it but they must never reveal where they are going next. Not a single hint, even this way they can remain safe too but still if they become popular they are an easy target in Thailand.

I exepcet them to be fine, if no one in the family betrays them then there will be no problem, I come from a not so good family, apart from my parents I don't trust anyone else, even small amount of money have brought hatred between my relatives.

If I find myself in a family similar to this I will advice them against relatives, they should have just keep their mouth shut instead of announcing to the world about their Bitcoin success but it is too late already and they claim to adjust their security which I expect of them, but if anyone is still on that ladder trying to climb up it is better to avoid this all together, build in silence and don't let anyone know how much you are worth.

Privacy is powerful, people can't distroy or plan evil of what they don't knows anything about, people should know how to keep their good things to themselves, let not use our own hands in setting our life's in danger,  however we should try and be more secretive in our personal affairs not even more to just bitcoin matters but in extend to every area of our life, the world is very wicked nowadays people go extra lengths in putting other people's in pain.

According to the story from the op, investment that took him and his family to build that almost cost them their entire fortunes if not all has become an object of threat to him and his family all because of their inability to keep secrets.

Furthermore, the underlying lesson in this whole story is just any folks that has feel blessed to keep low key thus is putting his or her life on the line.

No matter how you tried to cover your wealth, people will still know. Either in your dressing or the property you have , because you must definitely own some investments to your name.  Your friends and family will shy on you even if you don't tell them about your source of fund.  People don't really mind their business these days, crazy things are happening in the society, both the poor and rich are not even safe anymore, the insecurity and desire for quick money is now threat for everyone regardless of your class in the community.

The only way to be safe, is to stay in an environment that fit your class, if your rich in crypto stay in a rich neighborhood, don't stay in a place where you are the only rich person in the environment, it's risky, that's not a smart idea to cover up your riches.  When you stay in an environment where others are wealthy and won't feel insecure. You can buy and live life style you wish. But then, always shut your mouth, don't let much people about your crypto life no matter where you find yourself.

By making these comments the family is directly telling kidnappers and robbers that if they abduct the family that they won't get a lot, I think that it's a smart move from them. I'm also happy that they decided to keep their family's luxurious lifestyles out of the public space because there are haters everywhere that might want to harm them, by posting family locations frequently they are making it very easy for any attackers to easily locate them. From the negative experiences of crypto holders who flaunt their worth and lifestyles publicly it is clear that crypto holders should maintain low profiles about what they are worth.

I think Didi’s approach is both cautious and realistic. When you decide to live entirely on Bitcoin, security naturally becomes more complex. Splitting the seed across multiple continents and mixing analog with digital storage shows he understands that physical attacks are just as dangerous as digital ones.

However, no system is ever 100% secure. The key lesson here is operational security (OpSec) — keeping a low profile, limiting exposure, and never revealing more than necessary.

For regular Bitcoin users, we might not need such an extreme setup, but it’s a good reminder that self-custody also comes with self-responsibility. Protecting privacy and minimizing traceable patterns are just as important as storing sats safely.
