Bitcoin Forum

Are you afraid that someone will find out that you have bitcoin or altcoins on your wallet? I understand that this is not forbidden.
But some bloggers shut their channels after people started to recognize them on the street and ask how much money they earned. Hell, I watched these bloggers. And now they went as far as possible in the shade. Are you afraid that someone will find out that you are interested in the world of crypto currency?

Don't be panic like Elon's Tesla :D you create a paranoia nobody can't doing anything.i don't give a shit..

This has happened before: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/28/britains-first-bitcoin-heist-trader-forced-gunpoint-transfer/

Maybe it's a good idea not to tell people exactly what profits you've made. Keep it secret. Just like you wouldn't post on Facebook and Twitter about the millions you have saved in a Swiss back account that you're visiting to add a new deposit at 3pm this afternoon :D

Why? Because am I smarter than these alienated people who only listen to the big media? No one has anything to do with your life!!! Be happy man...and, if its possible be rich!!! ;D ;D ;D

The fact that you have bitcoins or altcoins in your wallet is not something you need to hide. No one goes around posting their profits on social platforms.

As long as you don't shout how much you have and how much more will you get - it's ok. It's common sense not to disclose amount of money that you have imo

I am not really paranoid that people know that I own Bitcoins. The people that I told about my Bitcoins are mostly friends and family, I trust these people for not telling everyone about it. At first I tried to hide the fact that I have Bitcoins but this turned out to be very hard, because nowadays everyone knows about Bitcoin and therefor is a regular subject in a conversation.

well, the main reason is when you expose yourself and tell everybody you are rich. Its normal you will get robbed showing such information.
Even if you earn millions, you won't shout out to people telling them you have this much and its easy to rob yourself.

You can see the same analogy working in a typical workplace. The internal information is to keep secrets your salary toward your colleague and avoid jealousy and envy.

A blogger can say it has invested in great coins but never tell the amount.

I'm not paranoid myself but I like to think I take good precautions. Bloggers etc will always be targets because there is so much information about them in the public domain. If you're not a blogger or such just be careful not to disclose too much about your earnings or your location. All you're really doing by doing that is painting a big target on your back.

I'm not a paranoic about that but I'm sure that money love silence. I believe that even if somebody envy to your success it could be very harmful for you. I prefer to keep silence about my wallets and profits even for best friends.

I used to tell many people about cryptocurrency, and that I'm making money on it.  But since the network has become a lot of fraud, and some people lose all their money, I stopped talking about it.  Since information can be heard not only by honest people.  And some of my friends do not want to understand themselves in the cryptocurrency, but they want me to do everything for them - registered at the stock exchange, told them what coins to buy.  And they only want to make a profit without effort.

I don’t particularly fear that people know that I hold bitcoins. But there is this sense of anxiety when people can find out how much your earning by looking at your accounts.

 It's common sense not to disclose the amount of money that you posses. At least my parents told me this. Stay Humble i the best solution for this.
