Physical Security isn’t just luxury it’s a necessity for bit-coiner’s

[God Tim]

Well not having to have some much information about the Physical security for Bitcoin holders but I just through to share some little information on the transitioned from a niche concern to an absolute necessity,

driven by a 169% increase in reported physical attacks on crypto holders in the first half of 2025 alone. Because blockchain transactions are irreversible, criminals are increasingly shifting from complex digital hacks to "meatspace" threats—such as $5 wrench attacks, home invasions, and kidnappings—to coerce victims into transferring assets under duress.

Like I will say “ NO BITCOIN IS WORTH LIVING THIS LIFE FOR
physical safety is paramount. Do not resist if it increases the risk of violence, as the primary goal is to protect yourself and your family.

I think it won't be a wrong decision if you decide to make yourself and your bitcoin investment secret, your points here are very much important to note as a Bitcoin investor. I once read a post in this Bitcoin forum where a student was murdered just because he exposed his bitcoin portfolio to his friend and classmate. It is necessary as bitcoin enthusiast and investors to remain conserved as not to expose ourselves to those criminals looking for a way of steeling our investment.

While we do our best not to expose ourselves to these physical criminals, is also necessary we protect our Bitcoin from hackers online and to do this , as a Bitcoin investor ensure your bitcoin is stored in a private wallet where the seed phrase is only known by you. Do not expose your seed phrase to any one to enhance the safety of your bitcoin investment.

I think it is better not to advertise the fact that you have Bitcoins. For me, this is not just paranoid caution.
Even if you have protected yourself from physical threats, there is still an online world, and there are many people who want to get your bitcoins. Hackers never sleep, so you have to be vigilant.
You can keep your bitcoins in a hardware wallet, but you still need to stay calm so as not to cause envy and curiosity of people who might want to take them away from you. The main rule: your phrase should be known only to you. Not to friends, family, anyone. Even if you are begged to give it, do not give up. This is essentially the key to your savings, and if it falls into someone else’s hands, it could end very badly.

Many incidents of physical attacks on crypto holders have been extensively discussed in different boards of this forum, I don't mind making my own input on the subject again since it involves matters of personal security and lose of lives. Some of the victims of these "$5 wrench attacks" lost their lives in the process of forcefully obtaining the information of their seed phrase and the ones that escaped narrowly missed being harmed or killed. The lesson to learn from the unfortunate incidents of those that were victims is that we shouldn't advertise our cryptocurrency in the public, you don't know who is listening and if they will use the information that you gave them in public to harm you. Bitcoin is decentralized and it can protect your privacy so it's good to keep the worth of your coins to yourself inorder not to attract criminals to yourself.

No body in With any form of finances is worth living that way. Any one that has any form of finances doesn't need to be told that physical security is a necessity rather than a Luxury, Infact there is nothing luxurious about physical security in finance because it is very important and should always be upheld.
I don't like treating Bitcoiners like they haven't held any form of finances before.
