Wearing Bitcoin Clothing in Public

[Renampun]

Has anyone ever tried wearing a Bitcoin clothing in public? I wore mine to an event earlier this week and noticed that most of the young age people were looking at it. One person even asked me if I owned a Bitcoin(which I've answered him ). It just popped into my mind that is it making myself vulnerable to bad people? We are aware that we should keep quiet if we own Bitcoin because of the risk that someone will hurt us or target us so that they could get our Bitcoin.

There are some good bitcoin logos that I actually want to print to custom clothes, but until now I still haven't done it because I am not sure whether it will bring good to me, especially since there are some cases of the owner of Bitcoin who were sought by robbers, I became more scared to demonstrate my Bitcoin ownership, Bitcoin is an asset that is currently being targeted by many people, in fact there are even quite a lot of ordinary people who want bitcoin even if they don't understand that. Maintaining privacy in ownership of Bitcoin will continue to provide good benefits to their owners, especially in terms of security, I understand that very well.

I tried to wear Bitcoin clothing way back in 2018 - 2019 together with my friends who know about Bitcoin.  I did not notice anyone looking at us with curiosity in mind.  Probably during those time, Bitcoin were not deeply propagated among the masses reason why the reaction of people was not the same as yours.  

I do not think it brings any threat since such designs is normal especially when it is trending.  There are even stalls selling that kind of design, unless a person bragged that he has Bitcoin, I do not think that wearing such a design indicates that the person is holding BTC.

The shirt looks awesome, I would wear it proudly if I had one. Grey is one of my favourite colours and I don't have any problems with sharing publicly that I like Bitcoin. It would also be nice to get into conversations with strangers about crypto currencies. Just because you are wearing crypto merch doesn't mean that people know how much money you have invested in it. To me it doesn't make sense to target people based on the clothes they are wearing, because then the criminals would be only focus on the people wearing designer clothes that cost thousands of Dollars. Or imagine someone wearing clothes with Dollar signs on it, it doesn't mean that they are rich and have a lot of cash in their pockets. The only thing people get from your T-shirt is that you like crpytos, but even that might not be true because It could also be that you received it as a gift from someone else. Personally, I didn't buy any new clothes in the last 2 years because I was struggling a lot with the pandemic and now high inflation. I still have a lot of clothes at home and even managed to sell some of my older stuff that doesn't fit me anymore this year. Going to second hand markets and selling a few items helped me to get some additional funds. If I ever see a cheap Bitcoin shirt, I would buy one as well.

Therefore, some people not easily trusting those who wearing BTC-logo shirts and choose to adopt an indifferent attitude towards anyone. I personally also opt for a neutral stance toward people wearing BTC logos oh their shirts, just acknowledging that they are wearing BTC logos not for some bad reason. As long as there's no official government prohibition in my country regarding rules for wearing BTC-logo clothing, it's still considered safe if you have positive mindset. If there's no fear of asset confiscation, then billionaires like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, and others wouldn't be sharing their wealth, right? Even those of us who don't have more than 1% of their wealth act overly protective.

It's better to be reasonable. There are many people wealthier than us, so why should we fear threats to our BTC assets? After all, if criminals want to make more money, they could choose to kidnap other billionaires rather than us.

Maybe in a safe country, like if I am living in Dubai I can wear this with no issue but I am from a very corrupt country, still many don't know about Bitcoin, some have not even heard about it before but I am still scared because almost everyday people are getting killed, some kidnapped and some are sold for organ harvesting, my country is not a safe place for me to start wearing Bitcoin cloth, if I manage to attract the bad ones I will become a target.

I don't think that testing Bitcoin on your cloth will do anything for those who are not into Bitcoin yet, it's not like as if people will start getting to know what Bitcoin is all about, I would rather keep quiet and keep my head down right now, imagine you been rich and you decide to look very poor just to be safe in your country? This is how bad it is in my country right now.

I am ambivalent about the BTC-logo on clothing. On the one hand, the BTC-logo on a T-shirt doesn't mean that you have bitcoins. It's just a print, an inscription or a picture, nothing more. A Lambo graphic on a T-shirt doesn't necessarily mean you have a Lambo stashed in your garage. On the other hand, why attract unnecessary attention? Nobody will steal from millionaires because they don't walk down the street wearing a BTCitcoin  T-shirt, but if an ordinary citizen does that, then he is under the scrutiny of everyone, regardless of whether he has bitcoins stashed in his pocket or not. The desire to be on trend with such a T-shirt can have different effects on your life depending on the specific country and local customs prevailing on the streets. It can be difficult to convince, under the influence of a $5 wrench, that you bought the T-shirt only because of the nice design and not because you have bitcoin.

I don't own any bitcoin clothes and I don't think I'll ever buy some, there could be too man stupid risks involved doing something like that: maybe you own a few Satoshis but people don't know that and they may assume you are some big investor or anyway someone very wealthy, and depending on where you live it could actually put you in some type of danger.

Wearing bitcoin logo does not guarantee that you're actually into bitcoin investment, as some are only riding the hype and just want to wear something that will make them noticeable and at the same time comfortable. There's actually no wrong with that if you look at the positive side, but I guess every individual has different mindset when it comes to bitcoin. Some sees it as a threat especially in countries where bitcoin is known as an expensive investment.

But its a different case if you wear it in provinces as most of the people do not even know what is bitcoin and if its even valuable or not. So for me, wearing bitcoin logo remains safe as long as you don't use it in public areas where different kinds of people may see you and make you as a target for those scammers.

Back in 2018/2019 there already was a certain awareness about bitcoin but probably it was still possible to go unnoticed, at least in the majority of cases. Now things changed a lot, so again, maybe back then it wasn't a big deal, now I would suggest you to reconsider your ideas. As I said before anyway it mainly depends on where you live and the crime level of your country.
