Be careful sharing other people about crypto

[serjent05]

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.  When it comes to financial information, we should be silent about it.  Be a low-profile person and let them think that we are poor people, at least that will save us from many headaches and life-threatening situations.

We know who we are, so it does not matter whether they think we are poor as a rat or whatever, it is better to be belittled or looked down (even if we have more financial capability than they are) than to get into a dangerous situation.

Poor financial mentalities is what drive people into such bragging thing, if one have high IQ and well build financial education, it becomes easier and needless to speak about your worth most especially in public domain or trying to brag about what you own, whereas you dont own shit compared to what another low bitcoin holder could be holding silently in his wallet.

And when attacks come, their definitely target you that you jave mentioned and given a clue to your financial qorth to them, for me, i avoid situations and places that force me into a position to speak about cryptocurrency at all, since many people do not really under what cryptocurrency investment means amd what it worth is.

When you hear of the crimes that happens in the world because of crypto wallet that got shared on social medias, it would give you the reason to take your crypto anonymity more serious than ever. Mind who you inform your crypto holdings to because times are bad for people to treat you with a light note without thinking bad towards you on how they will steal from you

I don’t even know why people will go to a public platform to talk about their wealth be it crypto or not, it will be a means of inviting criminals and scammers to yourself because they will definitely look for way to hack your wallets or scam you in any easy means they can think of, that is why it is always bad talking about your wealth publicly.

Your wealth is yours, same as your crypto wallet; it is code centralized which means you are in control, the. Keep it to yourself, no one cares to know about your success in crypto or so, therefore always invest and keep it to yourself because even your friend can be your enemy.

Absolutely, and with easy access to social media, people feel free to flex whatever they have, and even if the aim is not to brag, still it would make people find it envious especially if what you are posting are those that they don’t have chances to get. So the best way to remain safe is to be a low-key person. Be secretive without letting other people invade your privacy.

There’s no need to brag anyway, as not all people can be happy about it, some would end planning a secret attack on you.

No it is not. Except you are trying to attract investors you do no need to be talking about your financial situations in public. This applies to crypto or any other source of income you have and even other private information like your address and workplace.

Your digital footprint can never be completely erased, so be careful what you put out there.

That’s something people don’t take cognizance of for real, they ignore it or are actually just ignorant of that fact. The idea often sterns from the fact that, publicity can bring about adoption which means, increase in demand and value of hodlings,,, as much as that might be true, guess what, the chances of being able to buy more to build a stronger portfolio is reduced too. That’s because, you would have to buy at a high price and not so many are always comfortable with buying Bitcoin when the price is high even though you ought to.

Yes more public attention and adoption can make them more valuable it also means it becomes harder to buy them cheaply. When cryptocurrency gets popular its price usually goes up much making it much more expensive for people to buy enough to build good investment. This creates a problem because very things that make it valuable also make it tough for most people to invest comfortably since many do not like buying when prices are high even if they know it could be good in long run. But there are many strategies which can be used. And we can accumulate any coin by using these strategies like DCA.

Exactly!

We live in a dangerous time now but I won't be surprised there are people who are still going to continue in that light after reading all the warnings here. Man is egoistic (maybe competitive is the right word) in nature, only those who are conscious of humility find a way to subdue theirs and put it under control. The urge to display one's wealth only serves one purpose and that's to sound the drum of progress and "great heights attained" to others that one isn't doing badly.

Given the state of global insecurity, I think such display of hodlings should be curtailed to avoid one inadvertently hurting oneself.

You have raised a nice comment among us. Yes, it is never right to tell anyone how many Bitcoins you have stored in your portfolio or you should not tell anyone that you are investing. If you tell someone that I have 2 Bitcoins in my wallet, if the person you tell has bad intentions, he can harm you. For example:

* He can hack your account

* If Bitcoin is not legal in your country, he can file a case against your state.

* He can kidnap you and steal all the Bitcoins from you.

You should never tell anyone how many Bitcoins you have in your portfolio. If you tell someone, you can be in danger.

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.
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.
I saw also a video of the person running out of the said apartment, so guys let us all be very careful, hope this post will be a lesson to those who flaunts there winnings or profit to social media, that might attract bad people.

In the world we are now it’s better to keep quit about our success not only with our Bitcoin , people can’t destroy or plan evil towards what they don’t know about , but pride and too much talk has in danger so many people’s lives , even most of our friends and family members can even be fighting you secretly, social media has now become a means of monitoring peoples wellbeing that is why it’s advisable to know what you display on media and how you share your success story or how many Bitcoin one has in their wallet , the world is a dangerous place now , a common mistake can take our life .so everyone need to be careful with sharing some news .

[Roberto888]

I saw does videos too it was really crezy.

[Wonder Work]

From my opinion: It is better not to talk to anyone about how you are moving forward in the crypto world and what you are doing from there. Because if someone around you knows, then maybe if your relationship with them gets a little bad, they will try to harm you in these matters. For this, it is always better to stay away from them and not notice anything around. When working in the crypto world, you must do it your way.

You cannot discuss these with anyone; you must keep your wallet keys carefully and prioritise Bitcoin first.

Of course, it is better to work in secrecy when working in cryptocurrency. There are many cases of kidnapping. Moreover, since there are several seed phases, someone can be kidnapped and released very quickly and can be demanded and paid because most people keep the seed phase with them. The password of the Bitcoin forum remains with the user, due to which if someone is kidnapped, all these things can be snatched from him very quickly, so every Bitcoin user and Bitcoin investor should be careful from their own position so that they do not reveal to anyone that I have so much Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency and I work in the Bitcoin forum. If we are all careful about ourselves, then of course we will be much better off. Most of the time we bring our own dangers upon ourselves.

Things are really happening in this world, you can talk about crypto for many years and you won't be a target, this was me many years ago, I love talking about Bitcoin, telling people they missing out if they don't have Bitcoin and I've never been attacked but after coming here and see similar news I changed my mind.

Also I feel it's time to stop talking about Bitcoin because the world knows now, almost every beings in the world now know about Bitcoin and crypto, the Misson to create Bitcoin awareness is a success, full stop.

Now that the whole world is aware it's best to start pretending like you've never heard about it, the mission is complete already, and the value of these assets is why some lazy ass people will choose to target innocent people and rob them.

You are right everyone pretty much knows about Bitcoin and crypto these days that mission is definitely accomplished. But with this widespread awareness comes new problem as Bitcoin gets more valuable and well known it sadly attracts people who want to steal just like with any other valuable item.

Idea of pretending you do not know about it to stay safe really highlights this risk. This shift means next step for crypto is not just telling people it exists but give them knowledge that how to keep their digital money safe and understand dangers and build better more secure systems for everyone. Your experience really shows how crypto world is changing.

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.

Things like this is exactly the reason why I always advise cryptocurrency investors to keep their investment secret, because I don't see any reason why a cryptocurrency investor will be posting his or her cryptocurrency investment or profits online for others to see it look childish because you are  exposing your cryptocurrency investment to thefts, scammers and hackers. Less keep our crypto investment private to ourselves it's not safe out there anymore.

Yes you are correct Joy- maker posting our profit or holding is just a tool that exposes our cryptocurrency investment to thefts, scammers and hackers, however not even posting online alone can expose our cryptocurrency investment to thefts, scammers and hackers also telling your friends and family members about the amount of crypto you are holding is also a form of exposing your crypto investment to thefts, scammers and hackers because those of your friends and family members can end up being the people that will steel your crypto coin.
Things like this has happened before, I heard of a story where a brother who knew the password of his brothers wallet decided to login to his brother wallet after his brother told him the amount of Bitcoin he was holding in his wallet, he login and transferred all his brothers Bitcoin to his own wallet.
So please keep your crypto wallet knowledge to yourself and don't share your password or secret phrase to anyone not even your family member if you really want to keep your coin safe.

Shearing of vital information or success story on social media is a red flag and such practice should be abolished because it is of no use. What I want you to understand is that this has been a bad attitude not just nowadays but It has been a bad strategy right from the oncet. So such practice should be neglected to avoid attracting bad guys to yourself and also avoid being scammed by internet fraud.

As long as some people feel competition, and that they don’t want others to gain an edge over them, despite how dangerous it is posting their crypto wallet, they won’t stop it but will still chose to flex everything most especially in the social media. Where there is envy, man will continue to be egoistic, or let’s say competitive in this kind of industry.

However, while others tend to behave wrongly, some still chose to be disciplined and do the right thing, to keep their crypto investment private and safe, as this is the best key to maintain their own security, as well as their crypto’s safety.

I strongly agree to your post. Posting and showing profits and large balances can give room for individuals to target you. It’s a serious issue in the world of crypto. Just as the OP said most individuals in the world have been harmed due to publicity of how one can earn in crypto and the amount of crypto in wish the person giving out the info possesses. Most times we really need to keep our mouth shut to avoid being scammed or physical ways like kidnapping and money extortion.

One needs to avoid posting screenshots of balance and profits In trade to draw negative attention towards them.
Thanks for posting this it will certainly serve as a reminder and prevent one from making a mistake that might put them at risk.
