Bitcoin Forum

Couple of days ago, I read about a thread with a background of how two friends discusses about Investing in Bitcoin but while one was unready with irrelevant excuses to put a realistic action to it, the other one has already anonymously invested and was doing well in his investment.
Later on the unready guy felt regreted on why he never invested. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5488722.msg63799458#msg63799458.

This has got me to ask, after the bull run and hopefully you hodles your Bitcoin til the ATH and then you have made enough money, are you going to go out there and let those who were in doubt about the profitable potentials of Bitcoin to let them know about your investment in the Bitcoin and how so well you are doing in the industry?

I know about some piece of minds that are only patient not to reveal what is ought to be ever secret simply because they have not yet arrived at their exploits.
I know that after this Bull-run, some of investors especially the newly Bitcoin investors would explode in towns like they won lottery after hitting huge amount of values in their Bitcoins investment. But you must remember that not everyone is worth knowing your source nor even your values and hence, your Bitcoin achievement would become a point of jealousy to those who you left behind supposing to be on the same Bitcoin categories with you.

After knowing what being jealous could result to, I hope we would keep our mouth shuts and keep up with out anonymities during and after the bull-run.
Silent is safety wise

I remember that same thing happen during the last bull run, a lot of crypto influencers goes to tiktok and flaunt their riches as if they hit the jackpot or lottery and I will say that they are really take arrogant. But for true investors or who has been in the game before, I would say to just stay quiet, no need to brag it in social media or to your friends or cousins or whatever on how much profit you made. That is the sign of humility as well as a individual. So let this be a lesson again, as we are in a bull run already and there could be profit taking already. Just be silence and just thank that you have blessings coming your way and then enjoy whatever profits you make with your families and love ones.

but the topic also gives me thinking if what if the other guy is just pretending and the fact is they are both hiding reality to themselves?  ;D ;D

All my friends don't know I am into Bitcoin not until couple years ago when one of my closefriend posted His market trading in crypto so we have talked and find out that he had been investor almost the same year I enter this market.

So Indeed Silence is better way to invest here.,safer and no pressure .

What makes people go and talk about their successful investments, and then about their capital? I think it's just vanity. In the case of the guy who invested anonymously, if you imagine his next steps, the story about his successful steps can only be explained as a search or proof of his rightness to a friend. He can show by example that you should listen to him. If we are talking about good intentions and not boasting, then I don’t see anything reprehensible.
But more often than not, we see the opposite. Recognition is not enough for people, and they want to show their importance in any way. This is not entirely correct behavior. Modesty always speaks for the better about a person, and if you do not talk about your well-being, you are only protecting your life from unnecessary fuss that may arise around you from envious people.

I consider my investments to be private stuff, and I'm the kind of a person who would never share private things with others, no matter how close or far they are, even if they are family members, you are not supposed to share and discuss each and everything with them, that's not what a mature person does.

After a certain point in life, you are supposed to make your decisions yourself and then stand by them, and whether you face success or failure in your ventures, you don't need to share any of it with others to allow them to either be sad with you or laugh at you at your hardest times because not everyone is genuinely a well-wisher even if they show they are one on your face.

So, keep such things to yourself and don't share them with anyone.

There are thigs we need to teach ourselves and never expect others to take responsibility for, part of it is the way we behave towards the market seasons, this can be when the markets is dip or when we are on bullrun as the present moment is, we must not be too hasty in making conclusions, we must not be too forward as well as being slow about it all, we must ensure that we are able to make every productivity in what we do an achievable success at the end, we need to rethink before making moves.

I don't need to prove anything to anyone about the success of my investments, even to people who underestimate me. Keep your success to yourself, people who don't like you still won't appreciate it so you don't need to prove it to them.

Especially when it comes to money, you need to consider privacy. Not everyone is happy when you are more successful than them with money, so consider that only you and your family know. This is wise advice about money, so think about it carefully before you make a mistake. Once again, keep your success to yourself.

Nope, Bitcoin hodlings should never be public, no matter how eager or tempted you are to brag about it. There have been numerous cases of $5 wrench attacks, and i am pretty sure some of the victims went about making noise that they have made money from Bitcoin and this can cause one to be vulnerable to such attacks.

I don't see why anyone should have a problem keeping their mouth shut about their Bitcoin hodlings, if you have a million dollars in your bank account, are you going to make it public.

Nope, I'll keep myself low profile and will never tell anyone outside my family or even most of my family members that I've made such profits through Bitcoin. Actually, I am trying to get broke and that's what keeps me on holding on because it's unlikely that we'll be able to sell at the top when emotions are too high but other than that, you have to take profits when it's necessary and that's what I'll do soon but retaining majority of the slice of my cake in holding BTC. If you're too vocal with your investments and Bitcoin, please be aware about the physical attacks that can happen to you. Here are just examples and few of the many.

• Pune Cop Kidnapped Crypto Trader For $40 Million Bitcoin Ransom (https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/pune-cop-kidnapped-crypto-trader-for-40-million-bitcoin-ransom-2745253)
• $5 wrench attacks appear to be on the rise in the crypto community (https://cointelegraph.com/news/5-wrench-attacks-appear-to-be-on-the-rise-in-the-crypto-community)

In this generation of showcasing wealth which many see as the only thing that makes them get recognized as a person of value I still think many will fall victim and showcase their wealth after the bull run. Do you know the people that usually start this trend? They are mostly the so called crypto influencers on social media, you will see them Showing off their portfolio to increase followers which some of them will scam later. The naive Followers too join the trend too so that they can be tag a crypto expert too.

Everyone has access to whatever they wanna do they must not depends on someone's opinion to take action and if two friends decided to go invest in bitcoin and later run one of them refuses to invest, to me is matter of choice and decision and even though the one who invest made 10x or above it's plus to him or have you also considered if that price went downside where the investment couldn't even come up to the expected or probably he lost the investment what do you think could have been the reaction of the one who doesn't invest in that time?

I think at this point he might be making gest of him for losing his investment or for not adhering to him because he thought bitcoin could do what he thinks would give him more than spending his money in something more better than bitcoin. Why on earth will someone go announcement out there about their success does this shows maturity or childishness? Of curse is a sign of amateur so why will you go out to tell them don't you know you are indirectly attracting enemies to yourself?

I would never do that, money matters are always a difficult subject to touch but many people do not realize that, as over the years many people I do not know have asked me how much I earn or how much I have saved, and while I am polite to them I do not answer the question at all, in fact I do not even tell people that I invest in bitcoin, as they may get the wrong idea and think of me as a whale, when the reality is that I am just a regular person which invests their spare money in the best asset I have available to me.

I don't see any reason for me to do that because at the end of the day, it is my investment and my finances and others don't need to know about them at all. I find this foolish if a person keeps telling everyone about where they have invested money, how much they have invested, and how much profit they have managed to get from their investment, I mean, why do you need to let them know? What do you want them to do about it?
I know that some people do this because they want others to appreciate them and feel that they are having the best life and they are great with finances and stuff but honestly, there is no need for that, and it is better to keep such things private in my opinion.

I personally always have this impression human nature is always jealous of other achievement even though there are some people that compassionate but its outlier.
pretty much majority of people out there that hits the jackpot hodling until the very end never disclose their bags to the public.
at best they only show percentage of gain but thats it people that disclose their earning might become target of jealousy and therefore some irresponsible hand might come trying to make their day worse.

I think it has become a personal and rather private matter when talking about investment portfolio for many people nowadays anyway, just asking our investment portfolio right off the bat might come out as a rude behaviour.
but at the end of the day i really like the saying that we should never talk too much about the thing we might trying to achieve, because if we fail we gonna be make fun of by many people.

Safety wise then it would really be always best that you should really be making yourself that staying low key on which you wont really be that putting up yourself on such potential risks
because we do know that people around are really just that waiting for some opportunity on abducting someone or whatever similar situations just to get those money. This is why it would really
be better that you should really be that remaining silent on whatever you have been able to earn or profit. Somewhat it cant really be avoided on having that kind of celebration or outburst of emotion
on the time that you do able to gain or earn an amount on which you havent been able to hold for the rest of your life.

This is why you would really be suddenly having those kind of approach or reactions but as much as possible you should really be keeping yourself silent or private.

Yes. Bitcoin, in conditions like today, is very difficult to move due to high market pressure and of course based on previous experience, this is due to high anticipation of the halving, thus triggering a short-term setback before the next halving occurs, which only lasts for 37 days and after everything returns to normal, exactly as you said. picture above.


Agree, this is a high moral message for those who are patient with the drama of rising prices after everything returns well from the market frenzy. This is also a trigger that will cause bad things if displayed excessively.

Yeah, these days I fear that further crash could be at play, and that is going to ruin the entire momentum that we have gained so far. I know that it may also not happen, which is what we all hope, but there is a possibility that it could happen as well. We should definitely consider what type of investment we have just at this moment.

If we have a good long term holding in place then even if a correction crash happens and sees us at like 60k or something in a week or two, then we are not at a position to worry, because we can hold until it recovers and goes back above 70+k. However, if we are in a position where we need to take profit but waiting a little higher, then maybe it is time to put a strong stop loss, so we do not get any trouble in the future.

I have these set of friends that loves showing off their wealth in public places, when we were in the university, and I also joined them in that act. As time passes on, and we were far from each other, I cut off from them based on far distance, and I later realized that showing off in public is a sign of pride and arrogant, which can attract envious people to plan evil against you.

Since then, I have always being a the low in my financial status and in whatever I am doing to avoid attracting people to myself. I have few closed friends that knows I am into bitcoin, but they don't know how much I have in bitcoin, and I don't always talk about bitcoin to them, because I know that it might lead to them wanting to know about my bitcoin portfolio. I only encouraged them to invest in bitcoin if they feel they are cool with it.

My wife knows I am into bitcoin but I did not tell her how much I have invested in bitcoin, and she would not even know how much profit I will have during the bull run, because I keep everything about my bitcoin investment secret. Staying on a low profile will prevent you from envy, jealousy, kidnap, robbery and sudden death.

This is true realistically and logically speaking but we have different attitude when it comes to our achievements especially on profit. Some people can’t stop themselves to flaunt their profit just to impress everyone while other people who will see this will have different opinion too because some will praise him and some will be jealous.

In the end, We all have different attitudes and nature on how we deal things. We really have nothing to earn by sharing our profit in terms of financial gain but some people get some sort of accomplishment by letting others knew their profit due to their wise investment. It’s up to the reader on how they will react.

Showing off your wealth brings no advantage at all, as the people that like you for who you are do not care about that, while on the other hand you will attract all kind of people that will be interested in exploiting you for their own benefits, however this is often an attitude found on people that have recently gained their wealth, while those that are old money and got their riches from generational wealth do not feel the need to do this, since they know it makes no sense for them to show off like that.

Since we live in a wicked world these days, it will be good to remain anonymous in your BTC investment because, you don't know who is whom and I have seen friends killed friend that helped them to become a better person in a particular business they were doing in the community.

 If you succeeded to buy BTC during the bear run and hodl for bull run to come, just secretly sell your BTC and cash out your money secretly because, if you start shouting that you make such amount of money from bull run, it can make all eyes to be on you and it can make hackers to visit your account.

It is of no importance to show off ones wealth, in this process, it only makes the others feel inferior to you and this may attract much more enemies than friends, even those that should be of good help to you in the future will have no other option than to flee from you, these are harmful practices that have ruined many and left them seriously in pain and regret after the cut. It is of good importance as you have evenly repented from such misdeed.
what most people are into is on how to convince others, maybe a friend to join in investing in Bitcoin but it is of no use, if they should doubt a lot, then they should sit back and watch the market grow, their is no need to show off ones portfolio.

It's true, that many of us would have been so carried away by the activities of the bullrun such a way that we missed out on the opportunity it has when we are one sided with how we think and give approach to the pattern on the market, it's true that some may not be that sensitive in knowing that when the price comes in a better way for them to invest or sell and same way some don't have the full understanding to why they should hold and know the appropriate time for that, what they might be expecting would have been happening already and they were unaware of such.

There is this proverb that says, he who loud his drums during a ceremony brings envious eyes towards their side without them knowing.

This bull run will have many people millionaires and many of those future millionaires won't keep their mouths shut as they intend to broadcast to their friends that crypto has made them rich out of excitement without knowing that they are putting themselves in danger of being tracked down to collect all their crypto funds. Not everyone is mature enough to keep calm when the money they never touched before hits their account. It can trigger people's emotions to show their friends the amount they realize from crypto on social media, just to tell others that they have arrived.

That's the trouble, a lot of people will share their winnings on twitter and instagram, maybe twitter still stays a little anon if you want it to (not towards governments but towards other users) but instagram is literally not anonymous at all.

So doing something like that could put you in big danger. Plus, you should not "want" to do something like that anyway, it is not nice to flash your wealth to others who are having trouble. That is what we lost in todays world, a lot of people who have money try to show the world how amazing they are just because they have money, and unfortunately just because you have money doesn't mean that you are a role model, it just means that you are good at business, that's literally one thing you are good at, doesn't give you right to talk about everything else.

There is another proverb that states, “money does not really change people, it merely unmasks them.” Those that reveal their holdings in order to attract the attention of others, are doing nothing else but to show how eager they are to receive attention by any means possible, it is just that they did not had the opportunity to do so, however too much attention is without a doubt a problem, as you never know who may listen to you and what actions they may take to try to take your money away.

Whether we do like it or not, there are really people who are really that boastful when it comes into their possessions on which they would really be trying out show up into the world on how much they do earn
or they do own as some sort of having that kind of ego that likes that they are really on that state which is more than on everybody else. There's no harm or there's nothing wrong on making yourself that being low key
on which try to imagine that millionaires or billionaires doesnt really flex out on how much money they do have. For security purposes then it would really be just that a common sense. If you are that someone whose
that average and did make out some big earning on a particular moment then its better to keep silent. You dont really know on whose people around you.

You are just basically putting up yourself on such big potential trouble or overall safety because dont really know on when those bad guys would really be making out such move.
It is really just that too dangerous on having that kind of behavior.

Yeah true, you should not really want to invest and then speak about it because it makes you a target. Remember, our world is filled with people dying in poverty right now, and I mean like literally starvation levels and that would be one thing because if you are like that then you need to figure out something for yourself but people with families end up being in that situation, there is no force that can stop a father trying to find food and shelter for their kids.

So, when you brag about your wealth, you are making yourself a target to even good people who are in bad situations let alone just bad people, which we have plenty of anyway. So always be careful and you should be doing fine, just keep it silent like OP suggested.

Nahhh. Not worth it for me.
Making money then sharing it to everyone? You ruined your security already if you did that thing and for me, I don't see any benefits of bragging either your profits that you got in cryptocurrency or sharing your crypto investment with other people especially to those who aren't even interested on learning it or to those people who don't even know what cryptocurrency or Bitcoin is. :D

Just be silent, and focus on your next strategy. For me, that would be a better move than spending your energy bragging those profits just because of your excitement. Spending your energy thinking of your possible next move after getting that huge profits would be beneficial to us as an investor. Saving some money, keeping a portion of your monthly income, and buy again during the bear market. That could be a strategy that we can use.

Don't brag, and stay silent. Sometimes, being humble is the best decision that we can ever do especially when money is related. :)

We can’t control these kind of people who flex their achievements online or offline, most especially if it has  changed their lives like from rags to riches. Even if it means breaking their anonymity, they wouldn’t be aware of that until they come to a point where they feel someone is putting their investments in danger, or even their own lives. And only by then they come to realize their mistakes when they lose their investments.

That’s why anonymity is encouraged in bitcoin or in crypto. Not only to protect your investments from scammers or hackers, but also to protect your life as well from those who are planning to make an attack of you due to envy or jealousy.

That would be the most stupidest thing to do it would only create more jealousy and some people may even try to extort it from you with various means hence ei would never ever do that and the whole concept of Bitcoin is anonymity and decentralisation hence if we go and shout out lungs out about our achievement and how much money we made it's against the basic of Bitcoin. I may discuss it without revealing about the monetary gain with new of my close friend or relatives.

It's not good to gloat!
There is no point in it either. Not to mention that I personally don't like introducing Bitcoin to others as something that you can make a profit from. It is money and it should always be introduced as money not an investment, which is something I always try to do.

I know some people in my circle who are publicly sharing their gains in social media. I couldn't fault them if this is the first time their investments are performing way above than what they expected. They can't help but feel excited, but also at the same time, I can't help but feel scared for their safety. They can easily be a target of criminals if they don't keep their mouth shut, and lose all their money just because they can't contain their excitement.

Having said that, if you have some coins during this bull run, better keep it tight and keep your mouth shut. You'll never know who's out there willing to do every nefarious thing possible to get that money from you.

If its your first time t hen you would be able to understand but as much as possible they should really be keeping it secret, not unless if the amount is really just that small or not really that big
then he/she might be safe into those people around but if we do speak about hundred thousands of dollars or a million then its a suicide thing on telling on how much you earn or possess.
Just like on what everyone is saying that staying low key is something that will really be that better rather than on making yourself that too overly excited on sharing up your success.
For personal approach or someone whose really that close to us then it might be considered or someone whose family but talking it on public or something exaggerated
then you are really putting yourself at risk.

Aside from your personal like... I also don't see it as something safe to introduce bitcoin to people as a means to earn wealth; it's really one of the things that creates misconceptions in terms of them taking the wrong step in investing in Bitcoin, carrying over expectations around, and when the price doesn't give them what they want, they get disappointed, and newbies who are introduced to Bitcoin with such conceptions are the ones who are easily manipulated and scammed as a result of them believing and looking for means to double their money through Bitcoin investment.

Hi EluguHcman, social jealousy always exists in social life. Even if you are not a bitcoin investor, you should never reveal how much money you have to anyone. Obviously the main reason is to avoid social conflicts caused by social jealousy, but the most important thing is your privacy and security.

Really, I understand what you mean and honestly this is worth avoiding. Even if you need recognition in social life, you should not risk your privacy and security because of money. Remember that the economy is tough and there are many cases of violence and robberies everywhere just because they need money, so stay safe regardless of how much money you have in bitcoin or so on.

As bitcoin becomes more mainstream, the more common this will become and criminals will put more attention to them, so anyone that has at some point posted anything about having large amounts of bitcoin or the impressive profits they have gotten with altcoins, should probably delete those posts or they may eventually face terrible consequences.

Besides their actions do not make a lot of sense, after all I do not see anyone posting their bank statements online, so if people are smart enough to keep that information private, I do not understand why they think about bitcoin and altcoins in a different way.

Remaining anonymous is the safest and that's true, that's why we rarely see people who have large Bitcoin assets showing off and saying that they have them even if someone says so we doubt that they have them because basically those who choose Bitcoin as an investment because they want to be anonymous. Likewise when we see people who post about Bitcoin either when commenting on bad things or vice versa because I think they don't actually own it.
I never tell anyone that I have Bitcoin except my family because this is a precaution if something undesirable happens, and I think it's important so that they can enjoy Bitcoin I have if something unexpected happens to us.

We should keep quiet from the world about how many bitcoins we have because it doesn't make them respect us more but instead they can endanger us. But telling our loved ones is something we should do right away because if something unexpected happens to us, at least our loved ones can enjoy our efforts. But what's quite strange is that there are quite a few people who don't think like you and me. They don't even want to reveal their bitcoins to their relatives, they are afraid that their bitcoins will be stolen by their relatives. They think bitcoin is more important than their parents, wives and children.

Anyway, it's their decision but what makes me curious is, do they have 10BTC or 100BTC, how much BTC do they have so they think it's more valuable than their relatives?

Not all individuals would really be that too confident on telling everything even into their family or into its members because once they've known that you do have tons of money in crypto form then there's a tendency about
possible abuse when it comes to spending or something that asking out for funding or really just that confident because they've known that there's one on the family which is really that having that huge money.
Into my situation then this is what im really doing on which i do tend to be silent even into my family members. You wont really be stressing yourself too much or really that confident that there's no one been knowing that you are holding a lot. We dont know on what would happen but of course you should really know on making up some backups that your family could really be able to know if there's something that would happen into you.
It would really be just that normal that there could be possibly lost of your coins if you dont tend to share up at least on how to access those coins in case.

No one tells you that you should tell everyone in your family about how much bitcoin you have, you just need to tell the people you trust the most to avoid unexpected accidents happening to you. And if you think that even your parents want to abuse you then I have nothing more to say to you because they are the ones who gave birth to you and took care of you growing up. Even if the person was born and sacrificed his whole life to raise you, and you still doubt him, there is nothing left to describe about you.

By the way, how much bitcoin do you have and how much is it worth so you think it's a huge amount of money and bigger than your whole family, do you have 10BTC or 100BTC? And do you know how much money your parents spent and what they lost while raising you for the first 20 years of your life?

It would really be just that depending on you on how you would really be having that kind of trust when it comes your funds and this is something that you would really having that kind of doubts when it comes to the security of  your funds. I do agree into those words above that if you cant really be able trust up your family then find up ways on how they would be able to benefit once you do pass away.
You are the ones who would really be finding up the method for you to benefit out to those finances that you have stored up. Its up to you whether on how you would be securing out that kind of safety of your funds.
Also when you do make out some money then it would really be best that you do really know on how to control yourself on not to expose on how much you do earn.
Just like on what everybody saying on here is that its too risky that you do make yourself having that kind of exposure into public that you earn this and that.

Making crypto wealth exposed to the public for no reason will be dangerous for everyone's personal security, this will even result in many people being curious and intending to take it from you. There is no need to expose anything as long as the profits obtained will make you a lucky person. can get out of the bearish market well. Closing everything and carrying on with life as usual is the right choice so that no danger threatens.

People will be very curious if someone exposes the results of crypto profits and then shows it to many people under the pretext that he is arrogant so that he can be called successful?

That is way too vulgar... It's clear that we've seen several cases where when someone flaunts wealth it creates a problem where someone can seize your assets at any time when you're caught off guard.

Don't make it your success in the eyes of others, don't look luxurious, it's better to live modestly than glamorously which will lead to theft.

If you want to live a safer way, stay low key. Do not publicized what you have gained from your investments or whatsoever that involves huge amount of money because that will only make other people develop envy towards you. Let’s face the reality that not all people are happy with your high earnings, some may even plan  at your back due to greed and jealousy.

For me, other than family, no one will be happy for us if we earn more money than them, including close friends. Therefore, keeping our investments and valuable assets private from people who are not our relatives is something we should adhere to. We should even only share those things with our parents and wives and children, and for aunts and uncles, these people are not trustworthy because they will also be jealous if they or their children do not earn more money than us.

This is human nature and no one is without it, including me. I also don't feel happy when I see someone making more money than me, and I understand that feeling, so I always try to never show off the profits I have made from bitcoin to them.

We better keep our lives secret rather than expose them publicly because people around us are never happy with our great achievements as they prefer to see us down. I'm not sure if this is also happening in other countries but this really happens to us where people get jealous when they see someone become rich. In order to avoid these people, never show anything good to them. As much as possible, never let these people know your income and investment because they will just create unreliable stories that ruin your personality and reputation.

Never post anything on social media about your life or it is much better not to use this platform anymore to keep everything secret and unknown. And also for security reasons.

As much as we want to stay anonymous it may not really be possible, now that regulations are taking over in crypto, although we still can keep our mouth shut like what @EluguHcman said there. A true rich people are already like this anyway and they mainly do that for their safety. Those who comment negatively about BTC are sometimes only spreading a FUD and they do have a BTC. Their only goal is to help dip the price more, so that they can acquire more of it cheaply. Even though you got a good point there about sharing our BTC's to our family but we must be picky about the members that we will tell because some may not really deserve it.

I think everyone knows that, be a low profile player in crypto, and don't flaunt your riches like what I see in social media. Specially in the last bull run, when there are influencers who says that they got rich and all of that and then when bear market sets in, they are all gone and never come back because there's nothing that they can brag upon. But for those who remain under the radar, like the rest of us, then good. Just be a normal individual in your neighborhood and don't show them your bank account as we really don't know who are the people around us and who we trusted. For some this might come naturally, but for others, we should change our lifestyle and and just be reserved.

Your advice is correct, but it sounds very unfair. Many people are willing to enjoy the results of our hard work, but are not willing to be part of the process. They never know how we process to get what we want, whereas they just want to enjoy it. Likewise with jealous people, they never know how the process works, they just don't want to see us being better than them.

So far I have heard advice like this very often everywhere both online and in the real world, so I think this is the best warning to maintain financial privacy. Not everyone is happy with us being better than them, so staying calm is good advice.

---

By the way, who is the happiest today?
Bitcoin price plunged to $65k after previously crossing $71k resistance. Has anyone buy on dip?

Seeing a lot of positive feedback about the importance of privacy, I'm very supportive of the level of privacy that people apply.
Either way, privacy must be maintained properly and don't just want to increase followers or just want to flex at the expense of privacy that has been maintained so far, it will be a hole in all future problems.

Quite happy with this decline and it becomes a good opportunity to buy again.
Adding a few bitcoins even if it is not at that dip price is enough for me.

We have to avoid both of those people, those that because of their envy may desire to cause you some damage are people we need to keep as far away from us as possible , but this is easy, because as long as you are not sharing your success story all over the place, those people will have no way to know that you are doing well.

I consider that those that want to take advantage of your success for themselves are way more dangerous, because they will often pretend to be your friends, and as such you may share with them your success, information they may later use to their advantage.

Even if you share and guide someone wholeheartedly, it is not certain that they will be as successful as you, let alone that they will take advantage of you and be as successful as you. Success is impossible to copy even if they follow the same formula that made you successful, or there is no guarantee you will be successful if you apply the billionaire's formula.


What we should care about is those who will be jealous and envious when we are more successful than them. Don't be afraid that others will be as successful as you and don't be afraid to share with them what has helped you succeed. That is selfish and will make us just as selfish and evil as everyone else.

Yes, there are some people who share their gains with others through which they get pleasure. I don't think all of them did that jealously. But I would like to point out them that just because you might make a lot of profit from a trade in the crypto market doesn't mean you haven't lost there or won't lose in the future. So before you proudly tell someone about your profit, take a good look at how much profit you have. If the matter of gain is not disclosed but kept within the family it can surely calm a person down. There is nothing happier than enjoying a share of the profits with the family. It is a different story if someone is sharing their gains to encourage someone else.

I do agree that we are going to end up with a situation that would provide some profit to people if they know what they are doing. However, if we are going to see a big change, then we are not going to end up with an easy return at all. I personally believe that if we know what we are doing, then we should not be worried about it.

If you keep sharing what you did and how much you profited and all that, then eventually you are going to end up with a loss and it is not going to be acceptable at all. I believe it is going to be tough and we can't really make a big change at all. I hope that we won't see anyone get harmed after making a big grand online claims about how much they earn, that would be sad and it would be a big wrong move anyone who does it.

\
Of all the loses that you have made and then suddenly you do make out some profitable trades then this is the moment you would really be considering yourself that having that kind of boost up or reaction on which
it might really be resulting for you to have that kind of share up on which it will really be not be putting up into your mind that it is really that something risky for you considering that you are exposing yourself into that potential problem in regarding about security on which we do know that this is something a safety hazard and also not all would really be happy on what you have achieved.

There's always that has something to say if we do speak about those things on which we know that this is something that would really be in default i must say. This is why it would really be that best
that you should really know on what you are really that doing and not carelessly exposing on things which arent supposed gonna to be exposed.

The price of Bitcoin right now is dropping in the markets So excitement cannot take away or put someone into danger At this moment the price of Bitcoin is decreasing in value that is why I always emphasise that which you do not be as I said when the price of Bitcoin is increasing at the market because there is every tendency that the price of Bitcoin might reduce unexpectedly...

So in that case, it's better to just stop talking about your crypto assets in the public, simply as that. Just enjoy the profits that you have without blurting anything that will make people raise eyes on you or think that you are trying to put a point by being rich.

And there is also that big risk when you that in public, we have seen the trend that crypto enthusiast are being attack because they flaunt their lavish lifestyle and their crypto investment. Like any others before us, we become rich and millionaires, we should be silent and never show what we have in public.

regret will always there when you made a mistakes  and like the other one ? he does not invest
when the right time comes and this is one of our regrets like what I did many times before .
trust me I can adopt to her feeling like what  i felt in the past.


actually we already have the ATH but that does not bring high like what the past
halving brings and indeed that is something i will never forget.

Well if you do ask me, i do trust up my family without a doubt but we do know that there are people who reached out into a point that they cant be able to trust up 100% even their family.
This isnt really just that happening in movies but also in real life. We dont know about their whereabouts or whatever reasons they do have but we do have our own will on how we do handle out ourselves but its true that on the time that we do speak about money then this is where people would really be changing up their thoughts on which there would really be ones who would really be that skeptical on trusting up even
their family members. We do know that once money is involved then cant be denied that it could changed up someone.

If you are really that saving up yourself with those coins you do have for the future benefit then it would really be normal that you would really be that mindful about the safety of it
even if it means that you wouldnt really be sharing up those information with your family then you would really be definitely be doing it.

Just stay low key. Instead, make people believe that you’re living no good, that way they won’t create speculations about you. And always avoid flexing your investment profits or any achievement all over the social media, that will only put your life at risk. And as much as possible, chose privacy over getting known to the public.  You don’t owe anything to the public, so just chose to keep your life’s progress in private.

I do agree that regret is not something we should hung up on, just because someone is "late" at the same time, doesn't mean they can't invest later on, if you want to invest then you can invest today as well, or if you want to invest then you can invest in some other time. These are all important stuff and I do agree that it could make people a lot more money.

If you just say "oh I didn't invest back then, shame on me, I regret it" and never invest then what are you gaining from that? Nothing. This is why people should try their very best, like the most investment they could make at that point and stay happy. I do believe that it would benefit everyone to keep doing something like that, it would definitely be amazing.

Knowing quite well that your success becomes a throne of platter of gold to the haters your sensibilities to also know that there are gold digging projectors around the societies and as muche being aware that speculating your source of income would not add any value to your portfolio, then we can always realize that it is meaningless to showcase those wealths we have acquired and ignorant to understand this fact is simple to say that we are being exposed to dangers.

This is quite realistic and if you are promoting it then you should be earning something from promoting it. Like an influencer showing how much money he made could make sense because if he does that then he is getting followers and the more followers he has the more he can charge for ads as well.

I have seen plenty of people with 100k+ followers on twitter that made a lot of money from even a single ad, they were charging more money for one marketing post on their twitter, than I make in an entire year, but of course they are sharing their wealth and success in return of something. If you do not have a reason like that then it would not make any sense to keep doing something like that, it would not be profitable at all.

You have a point as those people do have a reason to reveal their wealth and how they are doing economically to others since they have huge incentives to do it.

Still, this does not change the fact that it is dangerous, because you never really know who is watching, and those posts and videos will live on the internet forever, so given enough time chances are that people that you may not like to watch those videos will do so, and that could be the beginning of a very difficult chapter on the live of those persons.

Any one who has access to the Internet must have one way or the other encountered the discussions about Bitcoin because the news is no longer hidden as almost every online platforms both on social platforms, you see people talking about cryptocurrencies so you don't have to show anyone how successful you have become before you persuade them. When you are making progress in life, it is always visible for all to see so anyone who is interested in knowing what you know should be able to come to you for tips and guidelines on how to also become successful like you, don't go about trying to convince anyone to invest in Bitcoin.

This is quite logical because showing off wealth can also invite more dangers that will lurk us over time so it is very bad for anyone to do it. But for people who are famous for their wealth, at this time there are also special guards for this in order to prevent danger from coming to them. However, on this side, I also agree that wealth is not good to show off if we ourselves are still not able to secure it properly, so maintaining a portfolio of wealth and continuing to add to it without many people knowing is quite the right thing for everyone to do.

In the end, it’s still safer to invest secretly and privately. That will make your portfolio richer without other people getting know about it and get jealous eventually. Let’s just accept the reality in order to secure yourself and your wealth, being a show off is always a bad move. It will only put yourself into harm, and you might only attract scammers that are always waiting for their perfect victims.

Some people do it just to show off, I mean how foolish can one be? What's the point of impressing someone with what you have? Just enjoy your life without discussing your finances or financial holdings with anyone, it isn't that difficult, but when you tell everyone about how much you are earning or how much money you have, you are letting them know that you are a potential target in case one wants to commit a crime and get money out of it.

The era we are living in isn't like how things used to be in the past. You can't even trust your blood relatives these days because anyone can do anything for money. So it's not wise to think that the person you are discussing it with is close to you or is someone you trust because no one is trustworthy these days.

There are some people that we can trust but we don't have to give it fully. It is necessary to keep low despite the big achievements that we have in our lives. To remain humble really makes sense in such a way it helps us out from the interest of others. Seeing us useless gives them no reason to think something undesirable. That is why I see some (real) rich people haven't dressed so fancy or have a luxurious life. Now I realize that it is one way of keeping themselves secure.

When we have some friends gatherings, we never discuss how much we earn nor I started to talk about it but rather talk about the past.

There's no harm on being lowkey, it is really just that there are people who do really love of boasting up their earnings or on how much money they do have without even trying out to think on what are the imposed risks
if you would really be that someone whose really that loving on trying out to flex or really that too tactful on how much you have won or make money. Always be considerate when it comes to those potential
risks because not all people would really be that not caring about your money on which there would really be potential that there's someone who would really be having those bad plans into  you.

There's nothing wrong on being low key.It is really just that there are really those individuals who cant really be able to make themselves that silent on the thing
that they are really that  dealing with. Well, its their money then its their right on how they would really be gonna handling themselves but of course there would really be a corresponding risks
level or factor.

I agree with that. I was jealous of a friend for so many times because he successfully HODL'ed a huge chunk of Bitcoin in his wallet while I was selling on that point of time. I was too doubtful and I think many Bitcoin holders did and after a good bull runs the urgency to sell will be there and it's hard to not sell.
My friend though was a pure holder for a long time and now he is sitting somewhere in the globe after withdrawing some of his funds. Now, I am the one trying to do the same thing but he will never know how much it will be as I don't want him to feel the same way as I did. I don't seek revenge, I just want the same experience as he did.

You would really be having that kind of jealousy on the time that you have seen one of your friends having tons of money specially if he had made out some recommendation but turns out that you had just that ignored because you thought that it was some sort of scam.  ;D You would really be just that ending up on having that life time kind of regret and thinking that you should have also done that if you have just
that invested earlier but well whats done is done and cant really be taken back. If you do tend to believe into those early days then you would really be cherishing the profits that you are making.
In speaking about on the money that you have make then it would really be better that you should really be that keeping quiet in regarding about it. Dont tend to boast
up as if this one would really be putting  you on potential danger.

There are some people who are just too vocal, they are vocal about basically everything. It doesn't matter what the topic is, we see a ton of people who are vocal about politics, people who are vocal about sports, people who are vocal about movies and art etc etc.

Well, when that type of person gets into crypto, they are vocal here as well and that's the problem, if they do end up making money they are going to be vocal about that as well. If they do end up losing, then I am sure they are going to be vocal about that as well. Attention is something people seek, not all people but some people desire attention more than others, and they would even lie about it, so they could get attention, that's a characteristic problem they have.

Those people crave attention the same way a drug addict craves to consume their drug of choice, it may seem I am overreacting, but I am not, as I have met many people like that before and they will do anything to get any attention, and the worst thing you could ever do to them is to ignore them.

So if those people want to reveal how much money they have, in which coins they invested and what plans they have for that money, that is on them, since as long as we do not do the same, we will remain unaffected by their actions.

Well I don't go to that same experience, no jealously at all. But I have thought that there could be a lot of holders, when you go and read the forum and that they make a lot of money doing that "simply" HODL mentally.

So I just keep quiet myself, and when we had that lockout in 2020, I started to do that, just HODL and buy during that period and I say that it's very hard in the beginning but I was able to accumulate Bitcoin that I never thought I would.

And I would tend to agree to be lowkey, although I have several talks with some of my friends as well in crypto (they don't have any account here), but I never disclose how much I have or how much I earn and profited during the following bull run.

I also think like that because in living this life there is no need to show off to everyone about what we currently have because that is the main effort that will attract fraudsters who are looking for their next victim. So I still take the option to remain silent and not tell anyone about my investment portfolio in order to avoid bad things that I don't want, because being an investor you also have to be careful and you can't be careless in telling anything to other people. Moreover, if the person is someone we have not known for a long time.

It would be foolish to brag or tell strangers about your investments. If someone did this, I wouldn't be sad for them if they were attacked and they deserve to pay for their stupidity.

Keeping our investments and assets private is one way we are protecting ourselves and our families. But I also need to emphasize this, keeping secrets from strangers is the right thing to do, but keeping secrets from relatives is not necessarily the right decision. If someone is married and even their wife keeps it a secret, it can easily cause a rift in the relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, we need to be flexible in disclosing and keeping secrets from those who should and should not know about our investments.

It will be childish for those who will want to do that because they will be exposing themselves to unnecessary danger and finger-pointing. Why will anyone go to brag before those who doubted them? If anyone who succeeds with their Bitcoin investment to a nice ROI must do anything loud, it should be for it to reflect on their improved lifestyle. That's the best way to announce it, not flaunting and throwing it in anyone's face. We've to be cautious with whatever we do with our success. There's too much envy out there.

The last point is indeed the most common thing in real life. It's hard to make other people understand the state of our economy, even if you never tell anyone about your wealth in bitcoin, that feeling still exists among people who find it hard to see others happy.

Even friends and family members can't be completely trusted with money, so being private is actually a must-have for anyone holding bitcoin. Not everyone likes other people's happiness, while some feel jealous about it. There is no need to tell anyone about money, proving we are better than them with money is not the right way. Personally I don't like to prove anything to others, it never changes anything.

It’s not necessary to do that. Just allow them to wander about it and if they wish to know, then wait for them to ask before you tell them. Being overly proud of your achievements in bitcoin can lead to hatred amongst society where envying and evil lives, you never can tell who loves you for real and the fake lovers. If you don’t expose yourself, they won’t get to know and it’s better for you like that if you know.


Silent is safety but is this even inevitable? We live in a society where everyone has to show off what they have before they feel among or make them feel respected and acknowledged on the society. I don’t have a problem with them and it is better you remain silent and anonymous if possible, it would be better for you.

Some people are proud of the great achievements they were able to achieve in their journey of investing in bitcoin - then they tell everyone without realizing that there is a danger lurking around them. Financial privacy must be considered as a precautionary measure to minimize risks - including the risk of planned robbery.

There are some people I've met who take pride in posting their investment profits publicly on social media so that others can be proud of their achievements. But in essence, that has increased the risk because they never know who might want to do something bad to get that money from them. So it's true - it's best to keep quiet and hide unnecessary things, it's more profitable.

It was a thing here in my country if I remember correctly the Axie NFT thing makes a lot of people here in my country rich to the point where they are getting cast on TV on how they are able to earn or get rich by just gaming or on Axie. That was already kind of a promotion since they thought that it was a promising thing, and it's not just the thing because most of the people who get lucky to earn a huge amount on Axie were actually inviting people as well, and that actually ends up as a disaster here in my country probably a lot of people who invested on Axie that time are already late and ended up losing their money, and it's not just a low amount because the value was actually high if you wanted to start playing it would need like 2000$ just to buy a team. I have a lot of friends as well that lose money because they think that it's an easy money thing.

I mean sharing might not actually be a bad thing for sure if you actually earn a good profit here in cryptocurrency I mean you could kinda share that, but just don't encourage them to actually invest, instead discourage them and tell them all of the risk that they are going to take, then if they still wanted to invest after hearing all of that risk, then advice them they should be the one that doing the work research everything that they needed, and invest on there own risk. If we are going to invite them because of our wins it's not going to end well, if they lose money obviously they are going to blame you.

look at what everyone posts on social media nowadays and you will see that the more someone posts things of less financial value, the less attention they will get from other people, unfortunately in today's world people's financial power has become a symbol for other people idolize you, on social media most people struggle to post as much luxury as they can, whoever doesn't post luxury or money or in luxurious places will then be ignored, for this reason that people who manage to make a lot of money in this cryptocurrency market Then they start posting their winnings so that other people can admire them.

If they don't post their earnings, then they will be anonymous, and that's the problem in today's world, most people in today's world don't want to be anonymous, they don't want privacy, they want fame. look as an example:


source: https://www.techopedia.com/who-owns-the-most-bitcoin

In this article that I provided the link, there is a list of the guys who have the most bitcoin, the companies that have the most bitcoin, the celebrities who have the most bitcoin. How does the author of this article know all this? he knows all this because the very guys who have the most bitcoins keep disclosing how many bitcoins they have, companies keep disclosing how many bitcoins they have, celebrities keep disclosing how many bitcoins they have because in today's world people love attention, they want to be in the center of attention. That's why even when a poor person wins a lot of money in the lottery, he's not even afraid to expose his face, he wants everyone to know that he's no longer poor because he won a lot of money in the lottery. We are living in strange times, in which it seems that people no longer think about the risks of exposing themselves financially

Thats the most stupidest thing that you would really be doing on which you are really that putting yourself on such harm because even if we do say that this is really that some normal expression towards your happiness basing up on what you have earned but we should really be trying to keep it lowkey or secret or making up that kind of celebration in silent because we know that not all people around would really be happy on what we do achieved. This is why it would really be better that you should make yourself that keep silent on whatever things that you are really that dealing up with.
People around might ended up on having bad intention of you specially if we are talking big money on here, there would really be always those triggers.

Everything should really be having a limitation because on the time that you would really be that opening on everything or when it comes to privacy on which this is something that important that you do consider.
You cant just share up on everything because it will really be putting you up on such danger and this is something that you should be avoiding in the first place on which i do agree with your words on what you have said. Its not that bad to have that kind of reaction but just like you said that being lowkey is they key for your safety not unless if  you do speak in between you and your loved ones then it would be alright but
talking it on public or other people then there would really be that risk which we should avoid on doing so.

These people certainly do not clearly understand that announcing their investments or achievements all over the social media will not make them popular but will eventually put their investments at a higher risk. Even if they’ll say they are posting not to brag but to inspire, still their actions could lead to secret envy that will push other people to set plans to attack them. When that happens, they are the ones who are highly at fault, knowing they are the one who exposed their certain achievements or investments that should always be kept privately.

People are not ready to take risk and there are some risk that is called calculated risk, that is what that guy you reference did and the other wasn't ready to do that same risk, this is to show that in real life if you don't take risk that is called a calculated risk you can never be successful in life because you aren't ready to lose. Today we have many people who are successful through bitcoin and they took their risk by investing on time and let it be for long as they think bitcoin could keep increasing, and the more they hold the more they keeps learning new things about bitcoin that always guide their mind and ways of reasoning, because there people who don't believed in you or on what you believed so far and they will doubt with all things possible just to make sure they don't join you in doing that thing but when you succeed you would see that person would emphasized to know it within few minutes so that they will be successful as you without them knowing you really sacrificed a lot to be in that position you are currently.

There are some overzealous people who don't even care about their safety. They feel that posting on social media can make them feel big or proud of themselves. But in reality, the opposite happens. Because if a person advertises his portfolio on social media then he may be accepted by others. Because almost everyone on social media can get a lot of information about the people on their friends list that carries a fatal risk. Moreover, since anonymity is the purpose of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, anyone who openly posts about cryptocurrencies is nothing but stupid. They need to know more about crypto.

The idea is the same as Warren Buffet, which they do not come even close to, but that's what they try. Warren Buffet famously buys stocks in secret, and as soon as he buys it, there are millions of dollars worth of marketing done about it, and for free as well, every single financial news outlet out there will share the news on what he bought, of course he is famous so that helps too, and everyone starts buying the same stock that he bought, everyone wants to be early investor right away as soon as they see it, which makes the stock go up, so he starts every investment in profit, there are of course exceptions to this, but that is in general what happens.

Now these influencers can't make some blue chip stock go up, but they hope that maybe a few million market cap tokens could go up if they share it.
