Re: Why you need to keep your crypto investment discreet

[Plan well]

Yes, everyone must have a secrets on is on on he/she because not everyone have clean mind on you. We just have to be extra careful because a friend today maybe enemy tomorrow.

Especially in time of online things and something like accounts, Crypto, Bitcoin. Because the more you get to tell  people about your secrets the easily you will be scammer.

This is no longer new although it really worth reminding ourselves, you are right keeping our portfolio a secret is another way of reducing vulnerability of being scammed, another important thing also is that alot of people consider so many things as competitions such that telling people about your portfolio can as well endanger some ones life from those who thinks you are doing better than they are, if we believe that the crypto world stands for privacy then we also have to maximize it by not running our mouths too much and sometimes too disclosing our asset to other can lead to not making personal informed decisions.

Owning crypto comes with a lot of responsibilities. First, you need to keep your mouth shut while you acquire it; nobody needs to know the amount that you hold, but if you want to have a loud mouth, you need to be prepared for what comes ahead.

There is a difference between being targeted by scammers and being targeted by thieves. One will steal from you, and you might not get hurt; the other might use any means necessary, even if it's to kidnap, torture, and punish you just to make sure that they get what they want from you. We have read cases of people who boast of what they hold, and it doesn't always end well for them.

This is one way to look at it but in my estimation, it goes deeper than this. Yes your friend today may become your enemy tomorrow but that will not make them try to harm you. Instead a total stranger on the internet may see your lifestyle and posts about owning Bitcoin and they will come after you, your family and any loved ones that will force you out of hiding .

Bitcoin protocol, as a founding factor, was designed to outperform classic fiat money in several areas, the most important of which is privacy. Using Bitcoin gives you financial independence and enables you to conduct your transactions in complete privacy and without being subject to any external surveillance. Therefore, using Bitcoin, whether as an investment or for everyday transactions, will make no sense if the person is a chatterbox and still insists on not caring about his privacy because they are unaware of the importance of privacy as a defining factor.
Unfortunately, many horrific incidents occur as a result of people confiding in the wrong people about their investments or financial activities, assuming the matter is normal. They later find that their assets have been lost or they are being blackmailed in various ways. This is not because they didn't choose the right person to trust, but because their privacy must be respected and they must know what they can share with others and what should remain a personal secret.

But you have to hit a balance somehow. That is, if you don't want your Bitcoin or crypto investment to die with you. I don't even know if it's advisable to be entirely discreet of your Bitcoin investment. It's hard to find a balance, but I guess you have to.

You could find yourself in an accident, for example, that puts you in a coma or in a vegetative state. Your Bitcoin savings could help your family a lot in taking care of you, but it's gone with your consciousness. All of your Bitcoin savings are wasted. Or you could suffer an amnesia, for example, or whatever that makes you lose your memory. If you didn't provide signs to your loved ones that you have Bitcoin savings, all of it would perish with your memory. That would be such a waste.

Cryptocurrency encompasses privacy, so I don’t see the reason why some people will go on telling people about how much money they have in their portfolio, you’re just endangering yourself and the money in your wallet. Chose your friends wisely, some of them are enemy in disguise of friendship that can affect yourself and your money. Being discreet in everything in life is important as to achieve much more security of your lives and properties. Showing off to feel bigger or proud amongst your contemporaries or to the world is nothing, always be careful how you showcase your wealth outside. The world has eyes that can see and have ears than can hear, you decide how they react to what they can hear or see from your own side when you decide to showcase or tell about your investment.

[jcojci]

Crypto now become popular in many places especially Bitcoin price itself increase so high than a few years ago. If we tell to other people about our Bitcoin ownership to them, that can invite a bad intention for those who want to steal our Bitcoin.

So that is why we must keep in secret our Bitcoin ownership and not telling to other people especially our friends who don't closest to us. Maybe we can tell that we have Bitcoin but don't tell how much the amount to them.

We don't know who is the scammers so we must be aware and careful. It is better to prevent than to regret it.

[MusaPk]

It is best in our own interest to keep our monetary things secret whether it's related to crypto or fiat. I came across a news recently that in Paris, France the daughter and grandson of prominent crypto entrepreneur escaped a kidnapping attempt. This tells that if you are a prominent personality then your loved once are also vulnerable and they must also take necessary precautions to save themselves from getting into hands of bad guys. For small investors, it's best not to disclose their portfolio or other info that tells how much money they have.

Anything that has an value must be keep in secret. Also we don't need to brag anyways we can continue to do our thing without getting to much attention. Since if we frequently flexing the income we get from cryptocurrency maybe it triggers the wants of people to earn fast cash and to bad for those people who always flex to be the target of possible crimes.

So for our own safety we better prioritize safety and keep for ourselves always from eyes of evils.

Bitcoin and crypto is famous now so for sure lots of criminals already know what to do if they want to do some crime to other people especially if they want to steal their funds.

[Apocollapse]

Always remember, secret is something you never share, so if you share to at least one person even though he can be trusted, it's no longer secret anymore. So, if you tell to someone else, be ready if most people around you will know the information you told.

Owning crypto comes with a lot of responsibilities. First, you need to keep your mouth shut while you acquire it; nobody needs to know the amount that you hold, but if you want to have a loud mouth, you need to be prepared for what comes ahead.

The same thing if you own asset or business, even you store your money in banks, the criminals can force you to withdraw it.

Why business included? any business have strength and weakness, if you can't control your mouth, you will overshare your business and there could be someone attack your business from your weakness.

For the sake of security, it is considered important to keep the ownership of the assets we have secret because under certain conditions we never know the evil intentions of others. The anonymous nature may have been instilled by the creator of bitcoin and he himself taught how important it is to keep something secret from others. But sometimes we don't understand how important security measures are for the ownership of the assets we have, especially in the current rapidly developing internet conditions.

If we fail, we will get the consequences and even though sometimes we don't experience bad luck like some people who are robbed or hacked. For me it is important to keep it secret because investing in bitcoin in particular does not require a third party to run.

Your explanations are right, not just when it comes to crypto or Bitcoin what ever financial intake should be protected. It is easy to steal Bitcoin than we imagined, forcefully or taking advantage as a close one to access your device. Securing you Bitcoin investment does not stop you from talking about Bitcoin, i don't mean going outside to confront people about Bitcoin, when your opinions is required, Bitcoin can still come in as a subject but don't be too lose that you begin talking much about your progress.

You can still ask for reasons why you also don't tell people about the amount you make from your job especially if it is a huge pay, financial gains like this should be kept confidential.

[Dimitri94]

If someone intentionally causes danger to themselves, that is entirely their own business. In the crypto space, the more decentralized they can be, the better. But there are some people who share their information about their assets on social media in good faith or to get praise from ordinary or familiar people, for them such actions are like causing danger to themselves.

If you cannot protect yourself, you cannot protect crypto. You may have a lot of money and wealth you can teach others how to create that wealth. Others will benefit from seeing that. But if you give your information to others, especially financial information, then you can be a victim of attack. Moreover, by admitting any such information, nothing is revealed except your own ego. If you can help others in investing or in any other way, that is where true happiness will lie.

Some people may not even know the kind of person they were until they fall the test of time, that is why if some people react or behave in a strange manner will also be strange to their own self because they never expected such.

Sometimes, it also happens that we stay with scammers without even knowing, until something happens one day that we see the true colour of those around us, this makes it of a big expectation that we should be more privacy minded with the way we handles anything about us.

It's true in any aspects and not restricted to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Privacy matters so does anonymity that we all need to defend as much as possible.
Privacy resources.
Bitcoin privacy guide.
Protect your privacy.

Because the more you get to tell  people about your secrets the easily you will be scammer.

If I am genuinely a good person, I would have never been a scammer and I am quite sure with you that if it revealed my secret with someone else, after that I won't turn to be a scammer.

I just think it's simple not to tell anyone about my investment achievements. When I tell one person, it's possible that more people will know. Moreover, I don't have any business interests like some people who share their knowledge and experience about investment to make money from their followers.

It's better to stay quiet and enjoy the benefits that you get for yourself, no need to show off to others about what you achieve. Although we see some people who share screenshots of their portfolios on social media. They only bring something detrimental to themselves.

In connection with the post you created, there was a thread created under the Bitcoin Discussion board where a person shared a story about a French guy getting kidnapped and killed due to his prominent investments in cryptocurrencies.

If you want to be discreet, then do it in a way where you could still share your stories but not your actual wealth. You can still preach and teach persons who are interested in cryptocurrency with your respective knowledge. Just remember that there is always an extent to the amount of information you are willing to share. If you have made a considerable amount of returns on your BTC investment, avoid disclosing it.

We do need to not tell just anyone how much Bitcoin assets we have, because not everyone can be trusted, whether it's a friend, coworker, or your own sibling, they could do something that might harm you. I'm not saying that everyone's case is the same, maybe for some people they don't have a problem telling their assets to their wife, sibling, or friend, but that only applies if you really trust them, meaning to the point where they are really trustworthy and you know their nature for a long time. But it's true that it's good for us to keep a low profile and not talk about our assets to other people, just to prevent something bad that we might not have imagined before.

However, keeping your holdings secret is something every crypto holder should take seriously because with the way everyone is hunting for funds, many people can be close to you just to get what you have and run away, and by getting closer to you, they will start knowing more about you; through that, you can be easily scammed.

So you are right; we should keep reminding each other to keep what we do to earn money secret from people. I have seen a thread talking about something similar to this where the OP of that thread said the person was kidnapped and killed because he shared what he had and also his cryptocurrency holding.
