How's your bitcoin lifestyle?

[Arenga pinnata]

more or less my life as a bitcoiner is almost similar to what you experienced.
I also really care about my financial privacy, especially about bitcoin and other cryptos.
because things like that don't need to be talked about.

only a few friends know that I invest in bitcoin, people who know that I really have to tell because one of my friends is very curious about what I've been doing so far.

The truth is, I discussed only with people I have personal and the same interests with and as a matter of privacy I talk less and I will rather you text me a conversation rather than engage in a discussion with others.

what is the need of letting others know how much Bitcoin we own, Bitcoin gives us the freedom to remain anonymous and not unlike fiat currency that involved third-party, if it's paper money your accountant or the bank manager may know how much money in your account, but Bitcoin have no third party so you can remain anonymous.

If there is anything I should keep a secret or low key it should be my financial life. I don't let people know about my bitcoin life. Nobody even my family members don't know am a bitcoiner. Letting anyone know am into bitcoin is never a big or they will discourage me, I prefer it's private. I almost made such mistake when I started bitcoin trading initially, I let one of my friends know about it, he discouraged me to the point that I almost quit bitcoin investment. I am glad I did not because it could have been the worst mistake I would have ever made.

looks like you are in an environment that is not good for what you enjoy. if you already know how the people around you respond negatively to what you do. forget them, you did well. but what about your family? I'm not sure they will reject and respond negatively like your friend. start by being open with your family. it doesn't matter which assets you have in Bitcoin. but regarding light things about Bitcoin and crypto news in the media. you have to start with your family first. and your friends, who cares.

Not all family members are good people. We cannot know what they will do if they know you own bitcoins at home. It is one of reason but another reason is you will avoid pressure to buy or invest on behalf of your family members. Many of them will not be ready to learn and just want to send money to you and ask you to buy and hold bitcoin for them.

What will you do if in buying process, you make a mistake (address typo) and lose money or you fall into a trade with a scam trade partner? What will you do if you lose your wallet in holding process by a hack, laptop steal ...?

Will they be ready to accept such personal mistakes or accidents of you and let their money go easily?

I’m very surprised reading the comments of people here. If bitcoin is legal in your country, it’s okay to be open about it. Bitcoin isn’t some dark secret that one has to hide in his closet. The people around me know I am a bitcoin enthusiast, what they don’t know is how many bitcoins I own. My wallet address isn’t public and I use multiple addresses for transactions. I live a comfortable life, I do not flaunt my wealth or the things I have achieved by investing in bitcoin. My life isn’t in any kind of danger, there are others who also accept bitcoin payment in their business they haven’t been robbed either. Being known as a bitcoiner doesn’t invade your bitcoin privacy if that makes sense.

I understand where you're coming from. It's understandable to want to maintain a low profile, especially when it comes to finances. It's important to prioritize your privacy and security above anything else.
