Be careful sharing other people about crypto

[happybitcoinph]

It's not about the crime or anything else, but in the first place, why do some people show off the profits they are getting on social media? To brag? To think that they are well knowledge with crypto? Nothing wrong, but there should always be a limit on posting things on public.

I don't buy the reason that they are just appreciating the result or whatever positive purpose; that's why they regularly post their achievements in crypto, but people have to use their common sense that not all achievements and good things should be posted on social media. It's not our diary.

I Know that its good to share , or even post on social media about crypto or even profits, but nowadays this is getting dangerous , as there are people with bad intentions do to people whom they know that has a lot of money in crypto.

People can change for any reason, on the other hand, the price of crypto you have that can also increase a lot. Changes can happen anywhere. The perspective on this matter should not be such that you generally do not have much money, which can be no reason for you to be weak even if someone tells you. There can be many cases where a little amount of crypto kept in the wallet can turn into a big asset. Such a situation is very common in crypto because there is no limitation in the price increase. When crypto-related information is shared with friends, it can be risky because even if some friends are trustworthy, their bad situation can change them. So there is no logic in giving information about your own assets to others and being in trouble later.

Anything that brings you profit, is very important to keep it secret. because when you expose what you are doing that bring you funds you will definitely get enemy because don't trust anyone thinking is your friends or family members, that you will says what is bringing you profit he will be a danger towards you because they will started observing your movement to try to attack you to steal from you. Is good to give information about and update that give profit, but don't try to says that is what is giving you money since Don's days, because that will make them attack you and steal anything from you and your life can probably in a danger, because some can do anything because of money. We just need to be very careful with what we are sharing to people. This life don't trust anyone that you will share or telling them where you generate your funds is very risky. Crypto is the biggest risk you will do the tell them you have invested on bitcoin and have huge profit that will make bad mind to hurt you and get everything from you.

Maybe this is the reason why some are so hesitant to share info to other people, according to the news an investor kidnap the man and kept him in his apartment asking for the password of his bitcoin, maybe asking for the bitcoin wallet password i think.

The question is why is it important to provide information about our involvement in crypto to others and what are the benefits if it is done. Some influencers do try to influence others to join them in certain groups, but it really looks strange for people like us who don't open any classes to try to share information or assets that we have on social media.

This habit can have a bad effect on anyone and should be avoided even though so far they have not had any problems. An important lesson that we can learn is that being anonymous in our involvement in crypto investment is much better so that we can avoid activities that we don't want.

Sharing about your crypto holdings to your friends/relatives is a bad thing to do but sharing it online is the worst.
Why would anyone want to attract unwanted attention ? They are not only risking their money but also their life.
Just imagine a kidnapper kidnaps you because you made a post online about your crypto, gets your money and then kills you because of the risk associated.
They would not have imagined that a post on social media would get them killed but that's very possible.
Strong advice to everyone is to keep your crypto private. It's not for you to flaunt.

[Ojima-ojo]

Aside from the present security threats, let even be Frank with ourselves, what the business of others telling them about your profits in the first, cryptocurrency is all about privacy and for sure the privacy of your coins is the ultimate goal for us in this industry.


There is no need to be lousy about it in the first place and if you must talk about crypto, it has to be done within a small cycle of like minded people like a group with same goals let say few friends discussing Bitcoin market situation and sharing trading ideas, aside from this, there is no need to start telling others who have no connection with your crypto dealing about how much and what you owned in Bitcoin.

Anything that brings you profit, is very important to keep it secret. because when you expose what you are doing that bring you funds you will definitely get enemy because don't trust anyone thinking is your friends or family members, that you will says what is bringing you profit he will be a danger towards you because they will started observing your movement to try to attack you to steal from you. Is good to give information about and update that give profit, but don't try to says that is what is giving you money since Don's days, because that will make them attack you and steal anything from you and your life can probably in a danger, because some can do anything because of money. We just need to be very careful with what we are sharing to people. This life don't trust anyone that you will share or telling them where you generate your funds is very risky. Crypto is the biggest risk you will do the tell them you have invested on bitcoin and have huge profit that will make bad mind to hurt you and get everything from you.

Apart from keeping it secret, there are people who will share their knowledge of making profit for free, and when people see what you are making, you become a threat to them, so it is very reasonable to be very careful so that you do not become a target because you don't know people are watching you. so the world is now full of wicked people and you wont expect people to do somethings you here them do and the worst is people that are the closet to you and that is why you have to be conscious of everything you do especially even when it comes to social media but people seems not to care about it but until they fall victim.

Especially when you are a serious holder it is better not to share anything for the sake of been safe because when you are not safe then what is the essence of everything because if you look at majority of those holding a large amount of coin you will never know who they because they know that any form of information will only put them in trouble so there is always need for us to learn from them just to keep our self safe.

No it is not. Except you are trying to attract investors you do no need to be talking about your financial situations in public.

I think question here has always been,
Whom is it good for?

For Bitcoin? Of course yes it’s good for Bitcoin as that would mean, more investors, induce scarcity and price would go up.
If it’s good for you? Of course not. You’ll get to buy at a high price and the publicity it attracts to you might not be a positive one.
If the publicity is of any relevance to Bitcoin? Bitcoin doesn’t give a dime on publicity, it’s always met the right people somehow and that’s how the system grows.

Those who see publicity for the right kind of idea should also take precaution on what that kind of publicity can attract.

Crypto money can be transferred very easily without any authorization, only if you have access to the wallet. If you have hundreds of crores of taka in the bank, then no one will kidnap you and try to embezzle that money because there will be a connection of the transaction through which it is possible to extract someone's legal information. But when someone transfers money from crypto, it is very difficult or almost impossible to extract someone's legal information only through that wallet. Therefore, if you tell others about your crypto investment, in this case, if your investment amount is very large, then people may look at you with evil eyes. And your enemy may try to embezzle your money in any way. So it is always better to keep your crypto portfolio hidden.

As soon as something begins to generate actual profit, in the case with crypto, it is wise to remain low profile. We do not live with people who are always good in everything they do even when they tend to be nice to us on apparent grounds. Money has the potential of influencing the way people perceive you and not necessarily in a positive manner. Green-eyed monsters and gold-diggers are not something made up and it is often someone you know best who flips. Dissemination is fantastic, but it does not imply sharing all the personal information. It is all about balance. You will be able to assist others without having to place a bullseye on your back. And considering the rate at which things circulate on social media, even the harmless post could draw the attention of the wrong admirer.

exactly @Ojima-ojo what is the business of others with our profits, cryptocurrency investment is suppose to be kept private, because if you expose your cryptocurrency investment to others, especially on social media don't you know that you're endangering your cryptocurrency investment, because you are exposing it to thefts, and hackers.

[Luzin]

@Ojima-ojo what is the business of others with our profits, cryptocurrency investment is suppose to be kept private, because if you expose your cryptocurrency investment to others, especially on social media don't you know that you're endangering your cryptocurrency investment, because you are exposing it to thefts, and hackers.

Some people intentionally share information to attract others, but it seems to me that keeping things confidential is the best choice. The reason is security and I don't need validation that I am an expert. It might be different for crypto influencers as they become crypto experts and make their expertise attractive to many people to join. I think those who are like that are prepared for the many risks involved.

So they really understand what the best security measures are. In my country, this happens a lot. On the other hand, I am also quite happy because influencers and show-offs are promotional tools to attract new users. Thus, I am also fortunate that many people are coming, so crypto is thriving. IMO

Those type of people are boasting and trying to flex what they achieve to other people. I don't like this kind of attitude and usually I avoid people having this attitude. But for sure later on they realize those mistake they made especially for displaying their funds,gains and achievement made on crypto once they got struck or been targeted by criminals.

For now they won't realize those mistakes they made yet and they would regret those bad things they made once they lose their money thru tragic situation that they didn't expect to happen.

So for us not want to experience experience being attack by criminals better for us to stay low key and don't flex what we gain from crypto in public.

It is good that this topic has shed light on an important lesson for beginners, namely privacy. If they are not able to secure their privacy and not disclose their crypto holdings, they will undoubtedly become targets in one way or another.

If you notice, most of the tweets on X by those who boast publicly about their crypto holdings attract many scammer comments. These users have already thrown the bait that scammers are looking for, , and those scammers will try to pursue these users and get close to them in an attempt to hack their devices and wallets and steal their funds.

The Internet is an open world and everyone must remain vigilant there are eyes watching us, tracking us, and waiting for an opportunity to steal from us.

People now understand the potential of cryptocurrency and are attracted to it when they are talking about it. it can be dangerous to share information or discussing about it with others or the media because even if you don't own any, they may assume you do, which could lead to problems because people even from family members, can be kind to you but have a dirty heart for your success. If we desire to express concern about those who want to learn about cryptocurrencies, I think there are a number of materials and videos available online that might help them. But my advice is that we should keep our discussions and investments private. because cryptocurrency world isn't safe anymore,

Hackers or scammers first job is to find a target who has sufficient number of Bitcoins or any other worthy crypto. Announcing publicly your crypto assets will benefit those scammers who are looking for a potential target. That's why it's important to keep info about your crypto holdings private. No matter how smart a scammer is, he always look for victim to make a small mistake that open gate of access for the scammers. Our  small mistakes are helping scammers in many ways.

I could say that we can assume that people who knowingly decide not to share information relating to their crypto holdings are probably not going to fall for these kinds of scam. If I am actively trying to hide this information, then I am probably going to answer with a no if I am ever asked. Anyhow, as you say the scammers are looking for likely targets. If you don't announce or post anything about crypto it is very unlikely that they would ever consider targeting you.

If you want people to know that you are knowledgeable about crypto trading, not until you post your profit on social media before people will know you are knowledgeable, you posting your profits, then you endangering your life. Are you suppose to even be bragging on social media, with the condition of things right now we are not even suppose to be showing off. If you are dragging, then you are putting your life at risk, just expect anything to happen, because you might end up being traced, and you might be attacked. No matter the amount which we are making right now, I think the best thing is just to stay low, you don’t have to make people know your worth, both online and offline, you just have to stay low, so that you won’t be a target.

It's not about appreciation or anything like that, some people just like showing off, they feel that people will think very high of them when they come to know about their achievements and what they are doing in life, but they don't know that most people don't care, and those who may care will either try to rob them and steal what they have, or misuse them by trying to become friends with them, etc. You won't get sincere people by doing that, or get positive attention, that's not how things work in life, but some people are too ignorant to understand that.

Those who often become victims of scams, robberies, and kidnappings are only such people, people who like to brag about how much money they either have or how much they make, either online or offline through some business. You don't need to brag about that and let everyone know. Some things should be private, and your finances are one of those things because no one is going to give you an award for achieving that, but you will only attract negative energy by doing that.

[Issa56]

The only problem with people is bragging.  That is the number one culprit why people who do not know the victim's wealth find to know it.  

I will say bragging is just what’s putting most people’s life at risk right now, I see no reason why you should brag about your wealth, and I will say most people that do things like that do end up being traced and attacked, if you are bragging about your wealth, then people’s attention will be on you, and even criminals will start targeting you, because they know you are finally stable with the kind of lifestyle which you are living, but if you stay low, nobody will even know how wealthy you are, just dress normal, and simple, you don’t have to be on social media bragging about the expensive things you are having, or showing your crypto portfolio online or your bank account balance, if you do things like this, then you should know that you no longer safe.

The Internet is an open world and everyone must remain vigilant there are eyes watching us, tracking us, and waiting for an opportunity to steal from us.

Any public disclosure of your financial situation will attract scammers. This is especially true nowadays when it comes to cryptocurrency because most of the time scammers do not even need to resort to physical theft since everything can be done online. If a person publicly shows their wealth, a scammer immediately knows who they should target. Those who take an interest in how scammers operate know that there are countless different schemes out there. Some of them can track their victim for a long time, patiently waiting for the right moment to access their wallet.

I believe that if you really want to, you can easily find forum topics where many of these scams and tactics are well described. I would strongly recommend that beginners search for such topics and follow them. Of course, it will not guarantee complete protection but being aware of these schemes will already give you a significant advantage.
