Are you secretive about trading currency?

[Pipdips]

"I buy and sell things online."

Done.

[SirLancelot]

"I buy and sell things online."

Done.

This question is about if you hide or reveal openly about your coins. I think there is no shame or disadvantage about revealing about your coins and talking about it with other crypto enthusiasts. I have been part of crypto for long and trade in Bitcoin and ETH. I plan to invest in BNB as well. This is something that encourages others as well to get in the crypto market and make money.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

because when I tell people about trading currency online our relationship sometimes changes. They start scheming or they think "I can do that, better than you" and I suspect they want to secretly start trading too.

That honestly sounds like a touch of paranoia on your part--but on the other hand, I don't know what people you're talking about.  If I told friends/family/coworkers that I'm into crypto (and I have), the last thing on my mind would be that they'd jump in and compete with me.  In fact, I'm usually met with complete indifference when I mention bitcoin to people.

As far as being secretive, I'm not.  I think I should be more discreet about my dealings, though, simply because there are so many scammers around and I just never know who to trust.  That's on the internet, though.  In real life, I don't care who I tell.  Nobody I know owns any crypto and quite a few of the people I've mentioned it to have barely even heard of it.

Why to be secretive about cryptocurrency you trade with? Its good for everyone if more people join and when volume is rising. I trade longterm with bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, iota, and many others. Longterm gives me enough free space for maneuvering, you need that free space for that kind of trading with so many coins. I think just some whales are secret about their trading cause they are moving big amounts, and probably they dont wish everybody to know their actions, all others are very opened and share their trading experience with others.

Really, what is the reason to hide the cryptocurrency you are dealing with and trading? It seems to me that you should even promote it, so that more people will support the altcoin, and it will gain more popularity.

Common reason why some people don't tend to tell anybody about their Crypto engagement is that some aren't just like to be outclassed or being
overtaken when it comes to potential earnings or shall we say that some do think off to be some sort of competition.I would definitely say this matter yet I have
this kind of mindset wayback before when I do earn some good amounts.

[Eildosa]

I don't tell anyone that I trade. I think no need to tell that to everyone, especially those who are not interested.

[LogitechMouse]

I tell somebody that I'm trading but I can trust him that he will not say it to anybody that I'm trading. Aside from him, nobody knows that I'm trading and to be honest nobody knows that I'm being paid in the forum.

There are some incidents that traders have been murdered or killed for some reason that is why I don't want to publicize that I'm trading (even though I don't get many profits from it ).

Exactly. There should be no hiding about what coin you have invested in and what coins do you plan to invest in. I think if you tell people about the coin you HODL, it will not affect the growth or value of your coins but might help them muster up the courage to invest in crypto. They might be looking for guidance maybe and not always try to laugh at you or try to be better than you.

[Innerpumper]

not bro. i am always share signal for my trade. but for now. situations it not. because it's bear market

[ricardobs]

I don't tell anyone that I trade. I think no need to tell that to everyone, especially those who are not interested.

I love to talk about new things happening in crypto. Talking about the rise in the price of the coins I hodl makes me enjoy the situation and I do not think there is anything wrong with that. They also want to learn about how crypto works and wish to invest in Bitcoin some day. I have never been secretive about the coins I have in my wallet. It is because I am a long term HODLER.

[justspare]

When people ask, What do you do for a living? I have a full time job, but I also trade crypto-currency.  I do not like telling them about my currency and Bitcoin activities because when I tell people about trading currency online our relationship sometimes changes. They start scheming or they think "I can do that, better than you" and I suspect they want to secretly start trading too.
 
Does anybody relate to this?

We have both the same characters. I also to have secrets in my trading. I buy coins and sell them at my own risk. I set up my indicators and analysis good only for me. For what? Not because I want to take advantage to others but I want to hush it so that I will not be blamed nor laughed when I lose a lot.

So what if they start trading? They are not going to claim your profits in trading. It is in fact an addition to the crypto market and the credit goes to you if you attract someone towards cryptocurrency trading and speculations. It will also make the crypto less alien and hence you would have an impact on the lives of people who would earn in crypto if they follow you into trading.

God bless you bro, because I see those who are not happy to share trading information with people as being greedy and self-centered. They should even be happy that they are coming to add their money to the marketcap, or are they happy the way the marketcap dropped from $800 billion dollars to $200 billion +.

Is it not now that we really need crypto adoption and awareness that we need to encourage people to trade cryptocurrency, because these are the activities we need to keep cryptocurrency market lively like forex market? So it shouldn’t be something we keep secret for something that does not affect our own income in anyway.

Unfortunately people you will be meeting asking you such questions are people that doesn’t even know much about crypto because If they knew, there is nothing that should make one feel uncomfortable or stressful in having the discussion, but the stressful part of it is when you are explaining it to those that doesn’t understand, and would still not see whatever you are doing as serious.

I think those are the people that op is referring to. If I meet people like that, I would better not tell them what I am into concerning cryptocurrency trading, because I will end up explaining what they would not understand within that short period of time, thereby wasting my time.

[jhonjhon]

In my case, I do tell them i’m trading but I let them research on it because not all people you tell about crypto will like it, they all have something to say and I don’t care so long as what i’m doing is right and i’m doing good in trading. For me, don’t let other peoples opinion affect you as long as your not stepping on anyone, you cannot please everyone as they say so just do what you think is right.

Right.Same with mine too.There are people who know that i'm into trading cryptocurrency but i never give them complete details about it.I just tell them to make a research if they want it too.Yes not all people agreed with what i'm doing so i just let them think what they want.In the end,no one would try to help me except for my own self.

[fullhdpixel]

You will be a giver mate and giver never lacks, that is the right thing to do. I share my knowledge too with people because I love them to do fine, the thing people don’t understand is that when you don’t share your knowledge with people and allow them to fish for themselves, they will end up becoming a burden to you.

Burden in the sense that when you have alone, friends and family will always come around to come and disturb for one need or the other, so is it not better you give yourself the privacy by giving them what will make them sit down 24/7 and at the same time fetching them money that would ease the burden off your neck.

[Aivaryamal]

On the contrary, I am happy to share with my friends and acquaintances that I am engaged in crypto-currency trading, because now it is my main income and allows me to be more free, the main thing is to competently approach this activity)

[CryptoPowerL]

What? Is the attitude changing? You do not sell drugs, but cryptocurrency. My friends have not changed their attitude towards me.

[jonaire99]

Some of my friends and relatives knew that I am rading cryptocurrencies and they had varied reactions. Some of my relatives don't believe in cryptocurrencies and tgey're telling me that I'm only wasting my money. I had no problems with some of my friends, because they are also traders, we help each other during trading by sharing some technical and fundamental knowledge..

Maybe OP don't want to share this secret because it can make anyone to be rich in no time if they knkw how to do it.
