It's not always easy to hide wealth, someone close to you will know your worth even if you are quite, a neighbor or relatives might set you up for this kind of attack, the instruction maybe to take your Bitcoin and never kill, but the victim might want to self defense and then result to something that wasn't part of the plan.

Self defense might be the cause of these Bitcoiner's death, it's be painful to see your coin leaving your wallet because attacker will withdraw the coin before victim's death,

That's so painful news, it's painful.

Just merely having some things people struggle to get makes you a loving target but however you can be out of reach based on how you protect yourself by guiding the information you put out in terms of wealth or how rich you are whether in bitcoin or crypto at large or general assets, the world is cruel so you don’t expect people to be as good as you are.

Perhaps people who talk more about their assets on media are mostly on a business mission to sell their personality to people who will believe them to get their desired audience so if you want to follow such steps without having business models like them then you are prone to attacks. So be guided about what you put out, total privacy may not exist but to an extent you can protect yourself.

This one thing I don’t see my self doing telling folks about my assets or even posting about it on social media , like the way most influencers do just to gain engagement. This is why privacy plays a vital role here in this space , because any slight mistake can go further in endangering one’s lives . Same reason many do avoid going to public casinos , it sometimes goes against privacy because there usually other folks there buying ticket and placing their bets . Even keeping the screen short of your asset in your gallery is not safe either some one can see it , and you may  endup targeted .

This is not really something new, a lot have fall victims and become target of killing because they don't exercise proper privacy and 24/7 security. Overconfidence is good, but its always bad for bitcoin because you are putting yourself in a dangerous situation. The whole world have already known about bitcoin, its expensive value and the associated riches and wealth that people gained from bitcoin, so you can't stop the bad guys around from eyeing people who are silent bitcoin holders.

The best thing you can do is just never expose yourself as a bitcoin investor, and get rid of social media where people advertise their bitcoin. Bitcoin requires privacy so you protect yourself from all the bad guys around.

I have come to realize that a few years back when I was starting, there's a point of time that I have posted some charts and of course Bitcoin too. I think way back at that time, there was not that much interest at all with Bitcoin.

People don't understand what it is, that it is money and something valuable in the future. With those news about these attacks, killings and kidnappings. I have stopped sharing anything about it.

While being active in the forum, there's anonymity and that's why let those social media influencers do their thing. However, we're not going to do what they do.

Holding bitcoin can make you rich in the long run, but it also comes with threat and danger especially if you are new to privacy and high security. Don't be too proud and show to the people that you are holding bitcoin, but instead save it for yourself. People don't deserve to know whatever hidden wealth you have, be it bitcoin or fiat, or else your life and your future will be at stake.

Invest in bitcoin and never stop holding, but do it secretly. Live like you are struggling with your life, and live lowkey. Celebrate your bitcoin, but never celebrate it with the people that you aren't sure of their intention to you.

Why do bitcoin thieves or criminals spot someone who loves and talks about bitcoin, and then just assumes that such a person is very rich and wealthy. Could it be from the way the bitcoiner carries himself? We really need to understand how these bad guys feel about us and the things we do differently that attract them to us.

Already I know that one of the easiest ways to draw their attention is by making your bitcoin identity public, letting everyone know that you invest in bitcoin, or that you trade or mine bitcoins. Apart from this, what else? Because I know that some persons who keep a very low profile are also being targeted.

I will advice every bitcoiner to know who they trust. Sometimes the worst enemies are not far away from you; they are your friends, neighbours and members of your household.

It is getting scarier, but do the little you can do to protect your privacy and true identity online. I look forward to the day KYC will successfully be defeated.

I just want to express my condolences to that one family that they had to go through such a tragic fate. No one wants to suffer like that, nor did they realize that the person they trusted was the perpetrator of the attack.
But this also serves as an important lesson on why keeping your Bitcoin private is so necessary, especially when you live in a place with higher crime rates. You can't expect everyone to have good intentions when they know you own a significant amount of Bitcoin. Whoever it is, you need to be aware that they could potentially take advantage of your carelessness and attack you whenever they want.

People nowadays wanted to become popular and reason they keep flexing their money on the internet and there are a lot of eyes nowadays even you didn't make an interaction with them there are people get envy what do you have they wanted to take it from you and now imagine life taken instantly and stole their crypto assets.
This is the reason why being stay vigilant and lowkey in the internet make sure no one knows what you have or what you wanted this will prevent to you get vulnerable with these attacks.
