Always work in silence because silent speak louder than noice.

its just unfortunate that some guys will have to carry themselves about exposing their secret to the public all because they want to be known or recognized by the public. well their is no point trying to prove what you do because it will definitely become a threat to you some day. with the rate of poverty in the society today, it has created massive number of employment, and this will cause a lot of criminal activities in the surrounding. for us to be safe we need to avoid talking too much or we expose ourselves to risk. if this guy in question didn't expose himself maybe this may not have happened to him. lets just be careful on how we expose ourselves to people around us, to avoid danger.

he has always being showing his self to be a Bitcoin boss in my area and people have been according him that respect to be someone that's doing well (financially) and it is very obvious so to speak.

I'm sorry about this kind of incident, I pray for the person who was attacked so that he recovers quickly. I read your post completely but the main point I got from it is that the victim was known in your area as the “bitcoin boss.” The mistake here is the issue of self-publicity, because being called a bitcoin boss means people believe he has a good amount of bitcoin or money. In the crypto world, one major way to put your funds at risk is by making yourself too public. If the victim was known as the bitcoin boss in the area, it suggests he had a lot of money and people around were aware of it. That is why the attackers likely did this to snatch the money.

Overall, maintaining privacy is very important, then many problems can be avoided. There is no need to share with others how much bitcoin you have. Whatever can be done through proper privacy should be done that way.

Smiles op having to read your post made me realize that having to be telling people you such amount of bitcoins should have been the biggest mistake he has ever made self, on a normal day people get killed by the guys who came to steal from him, well I there is more lesson to learn every day about having to discipline and not everyone should no that you are in bitcoin it best keep shout most of the time.

Discipline is very important for one to always exhibit in everyday life, as it help people to always stay true to themselves and allow their success to do the talking, and also discipline help people to know the right thing to do by applying wisdom to it, which help them to prevent falling into traps that will ruin their plans or investment.

People can't ruin or destroy what they don't know, what I'm trying to say in essence is that it is better to work on yourself and make progress quietly instead of announcing yourself. He attracted the robbers because he was getting comfortable with talking about this accomplishments to everyone. In my experience people that actually talk like that don't even have what they claim to have, it's all for attention.

Another tragedy in my hood has just sparked mixed reactions accross my neighborhood this morning. Their is this guy in my neighborhood though he's not a close friend of mine but he has always being showing his self to be a Bitcoin boss in my area and people have been according him that respect to be someone that's doing well (financially) and it is very obvious so to speak.

This morning the news we are hearing is that he was robbed last night when going out to have fun being valentine's day, at the process maybe he was trying to resist or acting stubborn one of the guy (robbers) stabbed him at his back for them to be able to collect all his valuables that was on him but I guess he was later rush to the hospital.

However, we haven't hear further to know is present state on his health but I just hope he will be fine. I brought this story for most of us carrying our self for people to know that we are an investors of Bitcoin, we should stop it because that is very risky and can attract bad eyes to us , life is just once let not allow a blessing to turn something else.

What you don't learn or do when you are still tender it will be very hard or difficult to do when you have grown up and there are people that like that lifestyle since their childhood I mean this showoff lifestyle and when someone grow older the live will still be there but those who don't have this lifestyle whether they have money or not no one will notice and you can barely know what they do for a living and it is very cool because we are living in a wicked world where people will word you if you don't have anything and they will still criticize and envy you when you have something so the best is to stay cool and quiet to avoid unnecessary attention.

What reason do I even have to start telling people about my success story and now telling them what I have is there any need for that in life? I feel this should not even be a topic of the day to discuss at all, I feel some people cause most of this attack that happened to them, I have this discipline is kinda of hard to get for some people, real big is that not get to bug opened all the time, didn’t give any information that is not useful to anyone, remember you don’t own anyone explanation.

[Cryptomultiplier]

It's always a bad idea to flaunt your wealth or talk proudy about it mostly in public when we think we are being open and have nothing to hide. It breeds envy and jealousy and the worst is when one likes being under the influence of alcohol or drugs and start talking non stop without any control.
It's good to have control and if possible, avoid some friends that act as friends but act as spies.
Risk management involves knowing not only how to secure your wall and investment, but how to manage your social life and over honesty.

[Donk1]

Well if I may say the value of attention you give to others should always be limited. and when I mean value basically I am referring to what we as crypto/bitcoin investors say to me security is one thing and it's all part of being decentralized but if you are able to secure yourself/ asset digitally, then you as an individual should also consider doing the same thing physically and one way to start is by being a Gray man. Basically to me no body needs to know your source of wealth even if you are financially stable .and let's not even talk about the fact that everyone in Nigeria is desperate to make money at any means basically it's easy to say if you as an investor start telling everyone that you are a bitcoin investor you will eventually end up being a target even if it was only one person you told if the person goes around telling others one way or another the news will definitely reach the wrong set of persons this alone will endanger both your  safety and and the safety of your asset ...

​Overall I like to believe that as a crypto enthusiast/bitcoin we should always consider our life as the major priority to protect first along with our assets. So yeah security and being a Gray man is everything in this space......

[Itz-prisigold]

I just don't know why people always like to endanger themselves, this whole situation just proves that people really need to keep their success in secret. It's not everything about your life that you should tell your friends, I personally believe that moving quietly is always the smartest move, most especially when it comes to things like Bitcoin. Once people start to see you as a rich guy or the Bitcoin boss, you are automatically making yourself the target for your enemies, and trust me is not everyone that is around truly has a good intention for you.

For me, no matter how successful I am, I will always build in private and enjoy my progress peacefully, because I don't even like crowds at all. You don't own anyone, so stop trying to prove anything to anyone. Showing off might make you feel good at that moment, but your safety is way more important, because you don't really know who loves you or who even wishes you bad, it's not everyone that smiles with you, really wishes you well, so at the end of the day, life and peace matter more than reputation.

[Mr Reporter]

The real matter about this is that why do you really need to even answer to people and tell them you have bitcoin at first what even led to such kind of conversation that made him or she mention to people that you are having bitcoin sitting at your wallet that very not nice I most said this, see i feel some people would not just learn from other people story’s that just the truth here, every day we keep hearing how private been accused all in the name of been an bitcoin investor, there was a time. Like that I had a friend who always shows up at my house and all the time he keeps shouting him having bitcoin and some happened one day at his home when area boys collected his phone and some other ideas too like that just for been people he had bitcoin as an investment….

When u work in silence is very easy for someone to achieve his or her purpose on earth. There are some people dat missed their luck base on some wrong information about BTC dat made dem to learn what OP just shared here not to tell people how many BTC dey are hodling or how much dey have invested in BTC, and how much dey are expecting wen the bull run hit the market. Some of our friends we called real friends are not real friends but u will not no until u inform dem about the BTC u are hodling before u will no the type of friends u are calling your friends.

To me, I no see anything dat will make me tell my friends dat am into BTC investment, because I don't trust friends these days.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

It is a good argument to, always work silently because silence speaks louder than words, in fact, we must take care that Bitcoin investment should be carried out silently and without interruption. You mentioned that a person was robbed while out for fun on Valentine's Day, maybe the robbers knew that he was the owner of crypto assets, i.e. Bitcoin, which led to his ambush. I made a similar post on this local board that a 21-year-old boy from Ukraine was killed for crypto assets. In fact, many people can be tempted to grab crypto assets, so keeping this in mind, everyone on this local board should store Bitcoin quietly and safely because these are financial investments for everyone's future.

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, but if we share our identity with everyone in our society, then there is no benefit in being decentralized. We have heard many incidents about this issue in this forum before but that wouldn't be good if you don't careful. If someone does not keep his identity secret and tries to spread it among people, then he himself will be responsible for the unexpected incident. Your own safety is in your own hands. Always try to keep your identity secret, especially if you hold Bitcoin. If someone feels proud of his identity by his own will, then he himself will be harmed later.

[Makus]

This is a lesson to a lot of people, announcing yourself doesn't mean that you are going to attract respect it only brings unnecessary attention. working in silence puts you in your lane without taking your personal business out there. most people are envious when they see others succeeding, it won't be a surprise if the people that robbed him are even the ones closest to him. One thing anyone should avoid bragging about is their portfolio, there's a reason why it's private in the first place, apart from you no one else should know about it.

[Versatile_choice]

I do not think his crypto holding will be among what was stolen from him with the way OP explained it, someone that is not willing to give them anything was stabbed and they collected his valuables. I do not think crypto will be part of it but we need the guy to explain what happened. I hope he heals.

I think so too, because according to what the op said it means that they only collected the things he was holding right there like his wallet, cell phone, and watch and other valuable things he is holding right there which I can't tell but I can clearly say that they didn't temper his bitcoin holdings because he didn't give them the access to do that.

Sometimes I wonder if some people are even aware of this criminal cases that has been going on both online and offline, this period we are is not the period where we should come out and start boasting ourselves no matter how precious or big the thing is we just need to swallow it so that we don't get ourselves into trouble.

Most Nigerians dey suffer from “big man syndrome” and “I have arrived syndrome”. We want make everybody know say na we dey hot, in my opinion the consequences of being seen as rich in a poor environment is much more than the pros. But na wetin young men like, them won oppress their mates and neighbors with doings. E pain me say the young man go engage him assailants, he for just give them money make them go because life no dey two. Hopefully when he recover and go back home, him body go cool.
