The truth is that as a crypto holder you are a number one target for criminals so you have to mind who you say and what you say to people outside. When people hear of someone speaking of how he makes money through crypto, all that comes to their mind is that he's rich and have alot of money on him. Sometimes you might have the knowledge but still struggling to make good and steady income so it's better to not wrant when you are in public.

This type of posts has been seen several times on the forum and it will continue to happen as sometimes knowingly or unknowingly one might say something he isn't supposed to say out. So let's all be careful and watch what you say in public..

On a norm wetin supposed make about their successes on crypto investment for public? Is it to pepper some people or make people praise you for achieving financial success for crypto. Nothing of such will happen, instead envy, jealousness go full people heart on how them go forcefully to take away your crypto assets from you.

Anyway sha, that your oga friend go count emself lucky sae dem no force am to unlock em phone, so that them go fit get access to crypto wallet to withdraw em crypto coins, if to sae em get em crypto wallet for em phone

We have to be matured enough to assess our vicinity for us to know and select the words we let out of our mouth make we no go talk pass our limit on things we suppose hold private to ourself. Just imagine how person go use him own hand cause wahala for himself. This act is what could be described as doing the right thing in the wrong way.
The guy fit no the do am to pepper some people though it fits better and act of ignorance about the propensity of such occurrence to befalling am. We have to be secretive and private, it's so cold outside.

The truth be sey hunger dey everywhere and these boys now dem no dey go after government wey don make hunger plenty for we country, now na cryptocurrency mainly Bitcoin and Yahoo Boyz Dem dey follow, I no know how dem dey get their information.
I encounter one dis few days wen I begin see strange strong guys around area wen I ask person with style, dem say the guys dey find one yahoo guy wey don hama, and these people come from far, far place, how dem know sey the.guy dey post him achievements online na him dem take trace am come, we no even know whether na Yahoo or cryptocurrency, because no we dey look am sey plenty people never know about Bitcoin, but no be true because everybody dey hide himself, but some people dey show themselves for Facebook and other social Media, remember sey no be only our physical being dem dey monitor, Dem also dey monitor our online doings, so I go advice sey anywhere or things wey we dey do make we dey very careful and no dey do things wey go attract bad boy's even wen we dey introduce Bitcoin to someone make sure sey na privately even if na people wey you know, and no be once you go tell am everything or as you dey achieve inside.
Be wise Boyz know sey crypto money dey inside and Bitcoin na the only sure crypto wey no de shake or disappoint.

You have done well by bringing this here. You know some of us have clear mind and good intentions towards our fellow humans and we want to see them get better and change their status financially, by making sure we introduce them to things that can better their lives. But while doing that we have to consider our own safety. I know someone who has similar experience with what you have just narrated. His own was inside a commercial bus. He was talking with his friend about bitcoin too and how it has given him so much in life. And there were few guys sitting behind them. Unknowingly to them that those guys were paying attention to their discussion. When he got to his bus stop that he was to get down, those guys dropped at same place and traced him to a lonely path and robbed him of his money. He was made to transfer all the coins he was holding in his wallet under gun point. This could have been avoided if he had not said those things inside that vehicle. We have to be very sensitive to our environment at all time.

The message clearly tells that bitcoin is gold of it own in digital form in which as this our country is weak in security and economy, once you make any affiliated bitcoin discussions in the public and admits you're a beneficiary of it, every hearing ear of the discussion at mentioned of "bitcoin" will see you as one that has financially arrived.
They literally don't need to see or know your Worth on the the bitcoin investment rather they're automatically seeing "wealth" in you since bitcoin is digital asset.
So believing you could always have access to your wallet which is a store of your asset and real fund same time, you'll become a target to be hunted in the society and that's the main reason why exposed bitcoin investors are more attracted to be physically attacked by thefts than the stock investor.
They believe a stock investor would only have their savings is their bank accounts While their stocks are somewhere since it's not movable like as bitcoin is mobile able.

Things are hard, and so many guys are looking for ways of getting quick money. Once you give them the impression you are earning in BTC, you have made yourself a target.

Of all places to talk about your bitcoin holding, a betting shop is the worst place to initiate such a conversation because the kind of individuals you find there are people who are ready to do and undo just to get the least.

Your bitcoin holding is not what you go public bragging about, except you just don't like yourself and your bitcoin. The street is not friendly, sometimes nit is not best to talk about your source of income with just some random people you don't know much.

This is another example of the reason we should not let people know about our bitcoin and altcoins holdings: https://youtu.be/vSK5Am_DabE?si=nm3Ww7F08-8pHK1M. It was discussed on beginners & help of general board.

There are many posts about something like this on the general board. It is becoming increasingly common. Nigeria can not be an exception.

Nobody is above to mistakes, and we cannot change what is destined to happen to us, but I keep wondering how those people they always run their mouth like parrots in front of people who aren't even interested in bitcoin. To be honest, I don't think it's necessary for me to have a seat down somewhere else and start telling people how Bitcoin has changed people lives because the world we live in is scary. The person who got attacked should thank God that he did not die at the hands of those criminals, them fit assuming that he is lying.

One thing we should understand is that if people know how much you earn, they will start to hate you, and you will have enemies you are unaware of. Don't tell anybody about your next move, if you do, they will set a trap for you to fall into. Let us learn how to keep a secret, because some individuals run their mouths anyhow, which gets them in trouble.

Watch the environment well and the type of minds there

There's something that I always tell my friends, take whatever you have in your portfolio as imaginary, not that it's not real but having that mindset would help you a lot, no one should no your business and more importantly no know one should know about the crypto currencies that are in your possession. Telling people that you have a certain amount of Bitcoin can lead to some unwanted outcomes, apart from the fact that you might get robbed people would start coming to you with their problems hoping that you would solve them.

Average Nigerian dey envious of others. No be everywhere we go we go dey open mouth waah dey talk about certain things especially things wey concern investment and how we take dey benefit. This crypto things eeeh, e get people wey e don render bankrupt and those wey start life afresh because of am, so if we go about the talk anyhow we no know who go use the information against us.

Even our closest friends fit betray us based on useful information wey we decide to share with them so that them too fit benefit from am. To stay safe, if the gathering no be crypto hangout or business meeting I go just keep my mouth shot. Even for d crypto gathering I go still look face before I do any serious crypto discussion with person.

[Princess Leah]

 That's to show that being security conscious when it comes to Crypto assets doesn't only end in securing seed phrases, passwords and using non-custodial wallets to prevent Internet scammers, one has to also mind who dey trust when it comes to giving out informations concerning their assets stored in crypto, like bragging and showing close neighbours about your assets.

 These are hard times and your close neighbours can be your secret enemy, cases like the OP stated is a prove to that, who knows who's behind the attack of his bosses friend? It could be anybody even close friends, colleagues, relatives that are envious of him, that's why things like crypto assets in one's portfolio are meant to be kept secret, you shouldn't go about telling people what you're worth in BTC or other Cryptocurrencies cause asides enviness, there's hunger in the land and people would do anything to survive including dubious one's.

The country to reach where be say to try to create the mind to use help people now to show them update na risk to your sef. This kind happenings feat lead to genuine people when the find update to truly give effort learn am to the use am chop them go com the miss the opportunity for such updates because of bad people behaviour.

Onto how you no feat know the heart and thinking of the next man e go just good to the reason your words before you vomit am for public no matter the gathering. Na our personal safety first.

oh posts like this one de there too?
On that area ona di call general board my head never strong to go join talk for that side o. I still di learn things small small for this place.

Some people dey like to show up themselves, them dey make people see themselves as big boys not knowing that as some people dey happy with them some too dey vex because them no dey progress as the person wey dey yawn dey progress. Cryptocurrency stuff na wetin people suppose keep secret and that's why you see some big guys dey free from attack or na only accidental attack dey come their way because them no too dey expose themselves. Just like the story wey you share, na that man carry himself go public which is wrong thing to do and I'm sure him don learn him lesson.

Let your BTC hodling to be between u and God, and it will be hard for people to know that u are into BTC investment because e no dey show for face unless u want people to no say u dey hodl BTC for long years by telling them. With the story u just talk now show say the guy that fall victim to those bad guys live insecurity environment, because people can only experience bad things from such area.

If u no how to keep secret to yourself for not telling people that u are hodling BTC, please do that because bad people have idea on BTC blockchain these days which they can force u to type your password to your phone or laptop to have access to your wallet and withdraw all your coins.

[Belarge]

But we no fit know wetin the next person Dey think na?
Me I be person wey Dey believe say na only God Dey protect man no matter safe and conscious you claim to be at times, you go see say you go fall enter problem you no bargain.
We Dey on a mission to preach the gospel of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general to people but that one no means say, we no go Dey careful with our actions and choice places of preaching but make we still no forget say na only God Dey protect.
Sorry for your Oga friend sha but I still Dey wonder how much him go don grab for there wey go make people track am reach house and funny enough, e Dey hard to convince people to invest in bitcoin if you no tell them say you don already Dey make money from am because everybody Dey fear to put money were e go just vanish

Na guys way been done the listen to am talking about crypto for soccer centre where him go watch football and within the 15 minutes for half time break him come the discuss about cryptocurrency with them onto with the intention to introduce bitcoin to them if them go want show interest.

Na true u talk there. E nor good to loud awa success anywhere wey we enta. We nor know who dey eavesdrop on us.

If care is not taken sef e go be sey dat ur oga friend just wan get new mugus into his net. D truth be sey him fit to nor dey actually make money from Bitcoin per se but from people wey im dey onboard into d space for crypto projects. E fit to even be na thru referrals for projects and airdrops him dey take chop but dey claim sey im be Bitcoin guru.

Those wey dey truly make money from dis industry and wey still dey Naija dey hide themselves bc of security reason.
