how secure are your telling fellow wo/man about this forum and bitcoin

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I want to tell you that it is your personal matter and you should decide what is best for you.

I think the same. In my case, knowing that I have bitcoin and that I write on this forum is known only to very few and extremely trusted people. In the end it's a question you have to weigh up for yourself and decide, but in general it's a good idea that the fewer people know that you have bitcoin, even if you don't have much bitcoin, the better.

The truth is that most persons in the forum were introduced by a friend or colleague who was already in the forum although I don't know how you got to know about the forum when you started.

I feel that the question of whether it's necessary to introduce someone to the forum is one you are in the best position to answer. But here are a few questions you should ask yourself before accepting to introduce the person to thee forum
1. What kind of a person is she? There are people you will introduce to forums like this and when they try out things and it doesn't work out as they except, they will start speaking bad about you to people.
2. You need to know the persons mentality towards money making mindset, unnecessary competition, and her ability to patiently grow something from the scratch on else she comes in and become a serious distraction to you and gradually sees you as her competition.
3. You also should know that most people just want to make money and might not have interest or prior knowledge on bitcoin or crypto currency. If she's in that category, you need to guide her thoroughly before introducing her to the forum so she doesn't join the catalog of people posting shit post and giving off contribution in the forum.

I hope this little kobo helps

I have told several of my friends at the office and also friends outside the office about this forum. I feel safe and I also don't share my username on this forum, but there is no special reason why I don't tell it.
I think it's fine for you to tell about this forum, especially when you want to teach about cryptocurrency, and if any of your colleagues think that this forum is like an online business then that's his problem and I can understand that there are a lot of people who think that online business is always about fraud because almost everything that promotes online business always ends up being a scam because on average it is a HYIP only packaged to look different but is actually the same.

It's about privacy and not having to show off your wallet.
After all, what is there to be proud of when announcing a wallet with lots of Bitcoin,
what is obtained will only be the target of bad people trying to take over the wallet.

Many of my circle of friends are in this group and they never share their privacy.
Not with the main wallet they have.
What is displayed in this forum account is only a storage wallet and is not used to store the main asset.

Sharing this forum with others or keeping it to yourself is your own decision. You can introduce this forum to people you trust so they can learn more about Bitcoin. This forum has a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin and you should focus on teaching it about Bitcoin. It could open his mind to learning more about Bitcoin rather than looking for it on the sites.

He could read more knowledge he needed from this forum. The important thing is that he can get more correct information regarding Bitcoin and others. Once he gets it, he can decide what interests him so he can focus more.

We'd better give them the hooks and let them look for the fish. We cannot accompany someone who wants to learn because if so, he cannot develop. So let him find what he wants and we can watch him while he tells him.

The social consequences of discussing Bitcoin and online businesses can be complicated, especially in an atmosphere that quickly labels them fraudulent. Its clear that you dont want to talk about your involvement publicly because you're worried about your safety and reputation. The situation you're in is clear: you want to help your friend but are worried about what might happen.

We need to think carefully about whether her desire to get ahead financially can be realized without attracting too much attention or putting her safety at risk. You have a huge amount of duty, so be careful. By carefully judging how sincere she is and the risks to society, you pave a way that could either make her money or put you both in danger. When this happens, being cautious and prudent are very important traits to have.

Regardless of the idiosyncrasy, the culture, always has to know how to express itself, I think that the people who have responded to OP before, surely, only read the title, since in the context  OP, there is a tendency to dissociate the idea, something strange , but whatever, it's simple, "Common Sense."

I mentioned it in another thread, security and anonymity is not something that only has to be had with the online environment, the offline environment is perhaps the most complicated to protect. In any case, no matter who you tell what you do about forum, the security of your bitcoin depends on you, but anyone with a $5 wrench attack can obtain what you protect so much online, so, privacy in reference not only to the Bitcoin, if not your finances, is something you have to know how to manage.
^{(this seems like a social board topic to me)}

We are both on same point that was why I don't just wanna be too open to her as my security matters a lot not only but both physically because whenever she starts comparing the difference should however be jealous, I know what some people can do or go in extents to make sure one energy and strength are being weaken for them to overtake their mentors or teachers. I actually have the zeal to be open to her but what do I do let it be not be as if I am too greed and not too open to her because of the kind of person she is, and what I don't like most at times is someone being to desperate about becoming what their friends because there are lot numerous stories coming up every day by day especially from local news and television channels which I wouldn't want to be part.

I assume Bitcoin is legal in your country, so there is no issue of breaking the law. If it's legal you don't have any problem. People will always assume until they get the clear picture of what you do. I know in some countries there is high rate of internet fraud that make people assume that everyone engaging in any online job is a fraudster. But that's not a problem because you can always prove that your income or return from investment is genuine.

If you read clearly there's no place I mentioned I wanted to forced her to learn bitcoin or teach her anything, she was the one who is deem desperate to learn about the kinds of business that I does but the problem why this thread was raised is to confirmed how to go about her desperate manner,  anyone who is always desperate about something or eager to know what you are doing may sometimes becomes your enemy because whatever that makes you happy they want to bring it down for you not to be happy or even seeing you making progress more than them. My point is, new comers or newbies are always wanting to get the kind of results which their mentors or teachers already had and they aren't getting same results they turns to see you as person who are not open and sincere with them or possibly there are some things you are actually hiding from them.

[blckhawk]

I assume you're scared that when you introduce your friend to the forum, that you might think that you're using an alt but you don't have to worry about it because you can just sign a message and her can do the same thing and you'll be fine. But if that's not what you're worried about then I suggest you just have to go on your daily routine, if she really want to be introduced to this forum and to bitcoin and it's in her best interest that she don't mess with you because once that happens, it's over for her to be guided by you. To be safe, maybe just let her explore the forum on her own, don't give your account if you don't feel secure, that's your prerogative anyways. It's not like you're flaunting your wealth in anyway, you're just telling them how you are making a part of the money to make ends meet and also think of it this way, they might not even be thinking what bad thing you are thinking and that you're probably suffering needlessly.

[rachael9385]

If you are planning to tell your girlfriend about Bitcointalk, then you are not doing the wrong thing, but if you want to tell your friend what signature champagne is, then you are trying to make her not be able to learn Bitcoin because her aims will be on the signature side and not on how to learn about Bitcoin.
Many users today come here just to join some champagne and earn some BTC without them buying a dime of BTC, although it is not totally wrong, but it will be better if the person buy at the dip and hold to dear life with her own earned money.

[Solosanz]

you might think that you're using an alt but you don't have to worry about it because you can just sign a message and her can do the same thing and you'll be fine.

You need to use your logic.

Imagine I have two accounts: Solosanz and blckhawk, does it mean I can't sign two or more used addresses? if I can sign two or more used addresses, that doesn't proving anything since I've stated Solosanz and blckhawk are controlled by myself.

don't give your account if you don't feel secure

That's simply stupid, do you want to share your password to anyone else?

[EluguHcman]

It is apparently a medium to expanding the existence of Bitcoin where anyone can benefit from it.
My opinion is... You don't basically buttress talking to her about the forum but literally insight on orientating her about Bitcoin and its potentials then of she finds it interesting you can further to educate her of the skills and technicalities involved.
You sounds being broadly knowledgeable in the Bitcoin industry so I don't need telling you on how to build her to obtain the Bitcoin knowledges.
Further more, you may introduce her to the forum where she can attain relevant knowledges from individuals aside your thoughts. And please... You must not fail to breed her with proper guidance with a prior of conciousness to contribute about what is seemed relevant to the industry rather than irrelevance.

The Bitcoin is a global opened industry for anyone but not to everyone so you don't lean on sugarcoating your intros of Bitcoin to her else, you get to be blamed at any backlash.

[marlo1001]

I just decide to stop to talk about crypto with people irl. They will ignore my advice until next btc bull run and after it they will think that im really lucky and rich guy

[lovesmayfamilis]

You do not have to give your friend complete information about yourself on this forum. But if both you and she has a desire, why don’t you help her? Although I know women, we love to be envied, right? (joke) You managed to raise your rank on this forum, and you receive some privileges by participating in subscription companies, thereby helping both your children and your husband. But you achieved everything on your own, and you can explain to your friend that the fact that she comes to the forum and how she shows herself depends only on her. She should not expect any gifts from you; everything that people achieve here was obtained through their efforts.

[hugeblack]

Bitcoin in my country is in a murky place, as there are warnings from the central bank to avoid trading, so I rarely tell anyone about Bitcoin or the Bitcoin I have unless it is a close friend and then it is for advice and nothing more. If Bitcoin is legal in your country and you like to meet people, create a MEETUP in your local board and invite people to introduce themselves in your city. You can log in with an alternative account until you trust the person and tell him your main account.

Some boards, such as Collectibles^[1], know more about each other because dealing with physical objects requires more personal information.

I never wanted to post this here but for the sake that it has consumed my time all day needs to shared among us to know how you feels telling your fellow female about this forum. On a short and brief discussion with my girlfriend today since I traveled to her place to visit today on getting there we exchange pleasantries at a long the line she carried my baby from me and screemed loudly saying "madam what have you been feeding your baby that she looks very healthy and beautiful".

That I should give her update so that she can start looking like me and daughter, though I never wanted to be that open to her because with the kind of country I found myself anyone caught putting much attention on phone or computer are always classified as fraudsters, but for my friend I skipped her and changed the discussion to something else but yet she keeps insisting I should put her on business so that she can start at least doing what I am doing that is making me and my baby looks this way.

After much more I told her whenever I am chance I will come or will asked her to come my house so I can go ahead with her but before that could likely happened I will like to seek the opinion of people over here if such desperate person deserved to be carried along considering the environmental and economical factor what it would result if people thinks she's doing an online business and whatever concerned online are often seen as defrauding people people.

The thing is I am willing to introduce my fellow gender but I am always considering the security aspects if this will land me into something I will regret at the later end.

I am guessing you are from Nigeria? The country is full of smart people and also a lot of stupid people, they have this weird mentality that there is no way to make it big through online investments or some skills, and this set of people are the highest in number, I have experience something like this and it get to a point where I don't even care anymore, people can thing whatever they want about me.

The sad part is even some educated people are also thinking the same thing, if its not government work you are a fraudster or you are into a crime organization, this makes me feel like it's not really their fault, it's the poverty rate that's so alarming that makes majority of them believe there is no way someone can make it in the country again.

Also this is why they easily hate, if you are caught in a corner where they misunderstand things that's happen they will result into jungle justice, all because the country is full of bad people they believe that everyone is doing bad things for making money.

[Natsuu]

It is totally fine to take things casually and at your own pace. If you cant tell her yet, then dont. Just go with your gut feeling and take the necessary precautions. If that person is really a friend, start by telling her the overview of this forum and let her do the rest like research on her own.

Same it's to our country where we can't directly trade bitcoin or even to include any bitcoin narration during transaction if noticed the person don't have any choice to be penalized for involving themselves into cryptocurrency transactions. This law is made by CBN and every individual can buy and sell through p2p trade without any restrictions so, telling someone about this forum isn't that bad but the security aspect that I am only considering.

Alternatively I may follow your suggestion to make another account, after which I did will give it a neutral tags to avoid drama.
Thank you for your suggestions.

There's no country that doesn't have bad people and good people even the ways of their reasoning aren't like other, so, everyone must not act the same rather there are people who may see you as someone who is becoming much higher than them and for that they might think you are into fraudulent activity and the sake you are growing larger financially they will try to bring you down to their levels so that you won't be above or even higher than them.

That is why today everyone needs to be careful with the rate which they tell people what they how they make profits, especially on bitcoin holdings this could possibly leads to hack, kidnapped or even robbed along the line due to how we are too opening to tell them what we do. Don't quote me wrongly but if not for a government offices telling person (s) about your side hustle is extremely risky because that person may likely plots against you to bring you down or to collapse your business that you have built for many years.

[Lucius]

For me, this is a rather tricky question if I understood the OP correctly. On the one hand, there is a way to potentially enable someone the same (or similar) as you and your family, but on the other hand, there is the question of endangering personal privacy and in some way responsibility for the person you will introduce to this forum.

It's hard to find a balance between those two things, but I can say from personal experience that it's not very smart to give people advice about anything related to finances, especially if it is about something volatile and very demanding security like Bitcoin. In addition, anyone who is interested in Bitcoin can easily find this forum using search engines, and I dare say that anyone who is not able to do this is not someone who should have anything to do with Bitcoin at all.

Not everyone who have such privilege to go source for a trusted site without them attaching to someone who already gained ground over the platform. I know there are countless numbers of people who are only wishing to discover a forum like here or place like this so that they can gain vast knowledge concerning bitcoin and it's related currency at large.
There are people who needs just a lifting hands from people around the platform to teach them little things then they can explore the platform themselves, typical example is me I never paid attention initially when I joined here but to due to some forms of personal interest and as well as developing that mindset to unveiled things I have never did before gives me this bold steps to push a bit higher, even though people around here sees me as someone who has gained little lift but that doesn't mean I have all it takes to make someone come stands over here.

[Sanitough]

I don’t see anything wrong if you open about the bitcointalk forum and bitcoin. It’s one way of promoting about bitcoin that it’s a real legit and not a big scam. However, you don’t have to share with her that you are hodling or trading bitcoin at the moment because that is already disclosing your privacy. You are putting your own self in danger since this friend of yours might not be actually looking for a business or investment but she’s looking for someone to scam. And you are giving her a hint to be her new prospect.

It’s still best if you keep things on your own most especially if money is involved. Also, bitcoin investment should only serve as a side hustle, not a stable source of income. Tell her to find a real job instead so that she can provide her needs and wants on her own, and not to rely in bitcoin or in the forum since its never a real job in the first place.
