Crypto enthusiasts, take your safety serious.

[CryptSafe]

My country people, I bring this tori come make we look into am very well. I dey yan about am because na something wey happen for my very presence of lately which I think say some people here go don dey in similar situation before. I realise something wey dey amongst every average Nigerian. When ever an average Nigerian sees a youth,  the male to be precised,  sitted and operating a phone for a long time without looking up, it is assumed that the young man is doing or running streets a.k.a Yahoo boy which in the reality sometimes is not true.

Days ago wey me and my friend go him  location, while we dey move around to see things for ourselves, my guy get notification for phone wey need him urgent attention to respond to. So him just adjust to reply the message wey dey urgent although e take am time but while him dey do am, one of the workers for the location dey observe am. After a while, the guy just begin dey talk  anyhow  waka go meet my guy wetin we hear na "senior man wey dey press abeg make e drop so that we go chop o. See as you fresh like yahoo boy". Omo as my guy hear am him nearly don wan punch am but I quickly intervene because e no reach to react like that but to be frank wetin that guy talk reach to put my man for big problem if to say police dey pass now come hear the talk wey him talk. Police for no want to hear anything o since them don hear yahoo, dem go want collect their own.

Point I dey try to make be say na for us to dey very cautious and careful anytime wey we dey outside. More especially us wey dey into Crypto. We no dey run streets but the truth be say security agencies no go understand any explanation if anything funny try happen. If you get updates as per Crypto matter outside, abeg do well to observe your environment,  adjust to any where wey dey you convenient and comfortable wey eye no go too dey look you then do your work. Even as you dey do your work, no too spend much time like that dey concentrate on your phone, after a little time raise your head up and look around for sometime then continue. We all know say our phone wey we dey use alone  for this our industry dey attract eyes and na that one sef suppose make us know say we get dey careful whenever we dey public places.  I no dey put up this post to discourage anybody but to call to our consciousness to always dey careful and alert anytime we dey outside dey work with phone. You no know who dey next to you dey observe you whether na agent or na area boy wey dey wait to attack you.  

Make we take our safety and security serious so that we no go encounter any wahala wey we suppose avoid in time. This na the matter as e be. Be alert and watchful.

Make we take our safety and security serious so that we no go encounter any wahala wey we suppose avoid in time. This na the matter as e be. Be alert and watchful.

This is such a nice advise for people to learn and take caution on how they behave in crypto space, in life, we have to understand that there is limit to everything we are doing, if we truly care about our own safety, then there is a way which is expected of us to go through while we are still having interest in cryptocurrency and this does not only applies to the newbies alone, everyone should make sure that they are doing the right thing at the right time, i will add up some few suggestions being my own advise concerning these to everyone who will be coming across this thread to also add up to his knowledge bank from here.

1. Don't go too lousy that you're into cryptocurrency that everyone begin to noticed you and have different interpretation on that.
2. Avoid as many altcoins your not convince on their source or developers and if you think you're not capable of taking their investment risk, then don't even get close to them.
3. Prioritize your portfolio on bitcoin and avoid other altcoins except you think of being ready for them as well.
4. Know your government regulations and law over cryptocurrency before you begin to announce yourself on what you're into.

Your information make sense because wetin dey happened nowadays e dey really alarming since innocent people dey fall victim for things wey dem no do for one day. Imagine the way that young man talk and people gats to be mindful and stay on their limits because you no know who be who for outside there, like person fit go talk tomorrow uniform person wey dey on mufti e fit make am vex wey him go beat person black and blue due to say him no control him tongue thinking say everybody na them.

Another thing I go like address be say make we also reduce our way on how we use phone outside, if you wan work stay your home or house work possibly you fit stay comfortable place do your work where person no go too see you as they post because if another eyes see you active with phone come say no be website wey too familiar to them e go be like say you dey press.

Best way to avoid much eyes on you and also peeping from your phone be say you go try buy private screen protector so that even the next person no go fit take record of your webpage or even see wetin you dey do online, make e only be say you dey press phone and dem no get idea wetin you dey do.

 This nah beta update, my brother. Most of us wey dey into crypto go feel say as no be yahoo we dey do, we dey free to do our thing for public, but I no sure say nah wetin police go think. As far as this country is concerned, any person wey involve in online activities nah Yahoo and some of these law enforcement officers know say legit jobs dey online but e just be like say admitting such go make them lose chance to take chop money.
Some of us dey stay for areas wey no dey safe to go about disclosing the kind of thing we do so we need use wisdom to scope out surroundings. People they around us wey go dey come around in the guise of wanting to be friends but we gats mind info wey we dey give out because time fit come when them fit use wetin them know about you set you up.

Normally, as crypto person for we country, we supposed dey hide our head like dis because we government no get joy and even d police Dem now no come dey find yahoo boys but people wey dey do crypto. D yahoo of a thing don too cast so tay any young guy wey just dress fine, or look responsible and neat Dem go just tag am as fraudster. D worst part na e be say even for inside public transport, our police Dem go still dey use eye dey observe who dress fine.
We all need to dey smart and avoid anything wey go make people put eye for we body. No be only police dey stop person but even criminals self, if Dem get sharp update for ur matter, Dem go target u. Just anything you dey do for public try dey observe well.

[Fiasem20]

Op wetin you yan no be lie,as crypto enthusiasts we suppose dey conscious about our safety.We fit dey safe only if we try dey avoid discussing about crypto outside to prevent attacks from bad boys and harassment from police.Personally if I dey outside I dey off my notifications so that I no go receive any message about crypto, because e get some people wey if dem hold your phone dem go wan intrude your privacy,so any notification about crypto I dey off am.Any crypto stuff I dey do am for my comfort zone that's I dey carry out every single task on crypto for my house.
Normally most Nigerians don get that mentality say everybody wey dey make money online dey into internet fraud wey dem dey call am yahoo yahoo so no be new thing.Nai make Op say make we dey watchful and alert, make our crypto doings no too dey obvious outside,when you live your life on a low all these drama from police and people no go dey.

[Richbased]

Normally sef for long naim I stop to dey navigate the forum for outside my house or comfort zone because i don see am say the best way to stay out of problem for this country na to Isolate yourself because your fellow man sef fit put you for problem because inasmuch as e be say na una two dey together and all these unfortunate security agents see una even though say nothing concern you but you go become suspect and I no dey I no dey something must comot for your pocket.

Again make we mind the kind company wey we dey keep, no go dey chill with careless or anyhow people because if not for anything this cryptocurrency waka no need make person dey dey loud. Just run your tins on the low and no body go worry you but wen you wan show yourself outside and those government men catch you then you go know how far the mata be. Advice no be curse so as you bring am up like dis make person wey get ear make him hear.

My brother no be small thing oo, because just the other day I dey travel go school I actually had this same issue with one of my boys as the guy dress pass him sef although I no know of na be say na 100vl student but still it's his choice of dressing and looking good isn't supposed to be crime or maybe I have missed some police rules that  actually warrant this police guys to make unnecessary choices and states them to do do it

One pf the things were cryptocurrency gift us with is privacy and in as much as that privacy is concern it is in your hands and none other person,  so your ability to always be on guide is very important and also making friends around your neighbourhood should be avoided,  and never discuss any topic that relate to foreign currency most especially dollars of cryptocurrency outside, aside from police or other law enforcement wahala, security is also another threat if people know that you do cryptocurrency the next thing be say you gat alot of money and that could result into security issues such as robbery or any other thing.

So safety is the best form of defense and for that, always behave novice whenever anyone bring such discussion that regards to cryptocurrency,  this our country is full of bad belle people so the less people know about you the better you,  what I do most is that I have two phones,  one for my cryptocurrency activities and the other is an empty phone without any form of social media and cryptocurrency apps, that is the one I always move around with whenever I am going out.

I understand the risk factors of bitcoineers if not securitily concious with the environments especially when we're of the outdoors.
With the nature of how Internet fraudsters has fumed the environments which has brought about the attractions of illegalities on youths with electronic devices such as phones and computer systems at where sighted.
I also do not admit tolerance with the manner that guy approached your friend because such friendly talk can as well magnetize danger amongst you all if this our unprofessional security agencies who claims to be sensitive where within there.
But one thing I don't condone is this fact that crypto isn't an illegal development in our society today, we're only being concious for security sake and not that the law Will be ruled over our insurance of being crypto enthusiasts so, why all these said intentions of trying to play smart of looking up and down with all that in the public while on your phone? To me, that even would attract suspiciousness of you being engaged on illegalities because your way or mood makes it feel like one.
