Wearing Bitcoin Clothing in Public

[TakeItEasy]

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.

I was worn one time, but the problem was the people who are here in our country didn't even like it and the government don't want fully here to support the bitcoin. So they just warn me for it. After that I have worn many times in my home who have written on the middle "Bitcoin is Best" and also even I wrote than on the similar shirt which I gifted to my friend which also have some information about the trading.

My family wants me to wear that shirt because it has an orange colour which I like too much but I can't go with that shirt outside due to the government restrictions on these type of things. Because every country has its own rules and regulations which we have to take care for them as always and nor to disobey their rule. Otherwise they have the access to punish us.

Yeah it's good to increase Bitcoin visibility and I like when someone promote Bitcoin to public, but I make sure it was not me.

It's not worth to trade my life to increase Bitcoin adoption, just let it by nature, sooner or later when someone is already learn about financial and technology, they will realize if Bitcoin is important.

Nothing is more important than life. Although Bitcoin is a worthy thing, it is good to promote it, but not so much that you trade your life. Meaning, it is good to promote so that awareness spreads and Bitcoin is widely adopted, but not in such a way that you die for the sake of this promotion. It is obvious that when malicious people see Bitcoin holding, they want to get it at any cost. They can even kill you or kidnap you to get the seed phrase.

So I think this thing is full of risk and should be handled carefully. Yes, to the extent that you feel that doing Bitcion Promete in this place does not pose any risk to you, then surely you should have Bitcoin Clothes in this place or you can express your holding of funds. But keep the principles and decide within the circumstances so that you don't have to face any problems later.

Wearing a Bitcoin shirt, doesn't necessarily mean it. That you must have Bitcoin. It is possible that you are wearing this shirt just for hobby or promotion.
I am involved in crypto and bitcoin and a student of this field. I like to wear bitcoin shirts. Although I don't own Bitcoin, this shirt shows my love for Bitcoin and nothing else.
ٰAnd as far as I'm concerned people love Bitcoin. And he also likes to wear its shirt.

Obviously, you are attracting people not only those who know bitcoin, but also to those who have only heard bitcoin the first time. And most of all, you are putting yourself in danger to those scammers who are hunting for some victims. Bitcoin has a very huge value as an asset so if they think you are hodling bitcoin as well, then be careful with the people you suddenly meet after that event as they can be those scammers that have already set plans to attack you and steal your bitcoin, or worst kidnappers and declare a huge ransom in exchange for bitcoin.

However, if only all the people are bitcoin-friendly, then you don't have to worry wearing bitcoin logo, but since the world has a lot of negative people around, then it's better not to expose yourself that you are into bitcoin for your own security.

[Ruttoshi]

I don't see wearing t-shirts with bitcoin logo printed on it as a risk because wearing the T-shirt doesn't mean that you have bitcoin and how will they know that you are into bitcoin if you didn't tell them. What if the T-shirt was given to you by someone. Before anyone will  attack you for wearing bitcoin t-shirt, it means that they already know that you are a bitcoiner. I have worn bitcoin t-shirt to places and the only thing that I noticed was that people loved the design and they asked me where did I buy it from. I told them that I customized it because I love the logo and that was all. It is not everyone that is wearing bitcoin t-shirt that owns bitcoin, and I believe that those criminals already know that.

It just like I went somewhere and saw a Ferrari car and took picture with it, does that mean that I own a Ferrari. You can never be attacked by anyone if there are not very sure that you have bitcoin. This is because arm robbers will always monitor and investigate the person that they want to rob to make sure that he has what they want before robbing the person. The only problem that I see is that if bitcoin is banned in your country and your are putting in the t-shirt that it might be a problem to you because the government might not take it lightly.

Am talking about my country and I don't know about yours.

 I guess this is really a bad idea in the sense that you are making yourself transparent to all those who have negative assumptions on bitcoin. And not only that, you are making yourself vulnerable to any bitcoin scams that will put yourself in danger. While this can be a mere publication for bitcoin that it really is  legit and existing, but we don't know how majority of the people would react on it. Some may think that you are not abiding with the government laws, while some are seeing opportunities in you to get you involved in a scam and steal all your bitcoin in your wallet.

So there's a lot of possibilities that wearing bitcoin t-shirt might trigger. And I don't want to be part on it literally, so wearing bitcoin logo for me is really a bad idea and that never really comes in my mind exposing myself that I'm into bitcoin.

I think it's okay to use attributes with the bitcoin logo. Especially if we are not rich and don't have a luxurious lifestyle. Bad guys definitely target rich people and they're not going to investigate someone wearing a t-shirt with a bitcoin logo that looks ordinary. Plus, stealing bitcoins is more difficult than cash or gold, I don't think many people have hacking skills. So in my opinion it is still more dangerous to show off money or gold than just wearing an attribute with the Bitcoin logo

I already have plans to make t-shirts with the bitcoin logo. But I haven't done it yet, I'm still looking for a simple logo idea. If I have printed t-shirts with the Bitcoin logo, I will publish it here.

[Raflesia]

Currently bitcoin in my country is quite well known and many people are into crypto, especially bitcoin, so in this case wearing attributes that identify with bitcoin such as wearing t-shirts or sweaters is quite common in my area because it's not just me who does that but several people also wear the same thing but if in the end this is still a taboo in your area then I quite agree with some people here because this is still a little dangerous.
Because apart from the privacy being targeted, we will also be labeled as one of the people who could be considered bad if bitcoin becomes something taboo in your area.
But the positive thing is that at least in your area you know there are people who are in bitcoin and if they want to learn more they can have a little discussion with you about this kind of thing.

[Odusko]

This isn't a bad idea most especially if you have some of those cool Bitcoin designs for a good art designer,  but then it may attract a lot more negativity to you than positivities, the  This is because wearing such encrypted Bitcoin clothing exposes you to a lot of risks and deny you the right to privacy and if you are leaving in a country such as a mind where there be multiple cases of scam and other security issues, it becomes important that, you as a Bitcoin holder must too everything 7ot takes to remain safe and securely protected at all time.

Actually, it's a dilemma for something like this. On the one hand, maybe our aim is to introduce Bitcoin to the public. But on the other hand, it is indeed risky for us, because we will reveal our privacy regarding Bitcoin or crypto ownership, including secrets. The problem is that there are things that are criminal, which can happen at any time and for any reason. Especially when someone randomly asks you if you have Bitcoin? Then this will be a little worrying, if they know about how valuable Bitcoin is, then this will be a risk. It could be that this will continuing friendship, but on the other hand, the risk is a crime. Because not everyone is equally good. So, we have to be more vigilant.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Not a bad idea sometimes may just be a very bad idea. Apart from the fact of security reasons, Bitcoin owners are seen as rich and in making it a public knowledge of such an interest, by wearing such a t-shirt or clothing, one becomes a hot target for kidnappers and bandits/criminals.

It's a good campaign and awareness strategy for the crypto, BTC, and it has to be if no consequence for such clothing with such inscription or logo of BTC on it to be worn in any particular region or state or country.

[kingvirtus09]

That is not new here in our country, because there are people doing it. In fact, there is even a display in a mall here that is actually being sold in a department store. And the other person who said it here may also have a point that it can put you at risk, but it may also depend on where you are.

Because there is also for sure someone who will just buy it without knowing anything about Bitcoin that the person may just like because he or she likes the fabric of the dress or its design, it can be like that.

What about all those so called crypto experts on youtube with their crypto channels?  What is the difference between them vs someone like you?  Surely the people with youtube channels are much well known so aren't they putting themselves in much more danger?  I know many of them are probably rich but how many of them are walking around with security all the time? 


I mean if you are one of those real wealthy people and popular on TV and talk about bitcoin on tv, well people would know they have bitcoin.  But the difference here is someone like that has security with them all the time right?

[panganib999]

Good way to let people know that you're a bitcoin enthusiast, might even get people asking what you're wearing or what it represents. I had a former friend (details as to why he's a former friend unnecessary to this post) who used to add bitcoin stickers on his car and his pc, given the fact that I was the one who introduced him to cryptocurrencies in the first place and he was able to adopt early and make a killing out of this ordeal. He got people asking what bitcoin is and all that stuff so I guess it's working.

just of course make sure you're wearing something that is actually wearable. I saw other people wear over-edited crypto shirts which by the way, i have no qualms with, you do you, but on the context of clothing and fashion you'd look like a dufus outside and may even make people think you're cringe or something.

[Emmanuelex]

It's a cool shirt. But I have not worn such before. Plus I am not the type that likes to tell people that I am holding Bitcoin.
I do explain to people what Bitcoin is all about, and I show them that I am very positive about it, but I do not tell them that I hold Bitcoin, because that would lead to questions like “How many Bitcoin do you have?”, as they would become curious to know how much you have invested, and it is not good to give out such information to people.

[aoluain]

No I wouldnt advertise that I am a Bitcoiner.

I also wouldnt advertise on my T-Shirt that I buy Gold bullion and Diamonds.

I can understand the attraction of wearing Bitcoin themed clothes to an event with like minded people,
or if I was working at promoting Bitcoin in El Salvador for example but I am the type who doesnt want to
attract unnecessary atention, particularly the negative type.



Stay under the radar and dont make yourself a possible target, thats my 2_satoshis

I don't have issues wearing some bitcoin logo t-shirts as long as you do it  in your bitcoin community but wearing it publicly, I guess that will only trigger those bad people around and might think that you are hodling a huge amount of bitcoin. The essence of promoting bitcoin to the crowd has lost because your life is now in danger. And for god's sake, I would never trade my life for bitcoin.

While wearing the logo of bitcoin makes us think proud and grateful, but for other people it could mean a different thing. They might think that we are bragging and flaunting our wealth, and that gives bigger opportunity for the bad guys around to plan an attack against us.

This is a very bad idea, years ago when bitcoin was not as famous as it is now you could have done this and find other like-minded individuals and have a nice conversation with them and even make some new friends as well.

However now that many people that are not part of this market know that bitcoin is an extremely valuable asset, by wearing a shirt like that you are basically advertising that you have some bitcoin, and this could make you a target for criminals trying to steal your bitcoin.

people wear a lot of T-shirts in where I'm from that, they have no understanding about the inscriptions on it most times because some of these items were purchased from thrifts or gifted to them by someone else. If I wear a T-shirt with Bitcoin inscription only two out of 10 people will notice it and only one out of those two persons will have the courage to walk up to me and ask me about Bitcoin to know what I know about it. People are very focused on their own problems around me, they barely concern themselves with other people's problems or what other people do.

You already knew what lies on your front because of this wearing because until now it is still not normal for the world to see Bitcoin wearing person.

What I do believe is that some of us(who have printing business and clothing) should print and create as much Bitcoin logos and shirts even other clothing  just to show the world Bitcoin exist and not owned by some few , so this will divert their thinking to whom really owns Bitcoin because the design will become a common to the world.
