Hodling has always been private, their is no where it is written to tell the next person about your Hodling. Even if you want to introduce bitcoin to someone, it makes no sense trying to convince the person with the bitcoin Hodling you have so far. Bitcoin hodling is secret because sometimes it is very risky in telling an important investment in bitcoin to people because it is a risk, which you cant tell what people who know of your bitcoin investment would have in mind to do. Bitcoin is private and announcing ones bitcoin investment to the public means one doesn't understand bitcoin better.
Those who lack basic cautionary knowledge are the ones who usually reveal their Bitcoin holdings to others. For security, we need to develop a cautious mindset, for maximum security, privacy is very important, the less our holdings are revealed, the safer they are.
Think for yourself, if you want to tell someone about Bitcoin, just try to explain the concept to him, there is no need to show your holdings, if he understands the main thing on his own, then he will be able to decide to invest voluntarily, but if he does not have the right understanding, then you should stop thinking about this and just focus on yourself. And thinking about our own security, we should try to be as secretive as possible.
Yea, and of course, it's money related, and thus deserves some secretive attachment. How can one just go on and on broadcasting his assets in public or yo strangers or even close friends. Not all friends even want your success. A friend who is not true yo friendship can send criminals to rob you of your Bitcoin assets and then later get his cut from them as agreed. So, a wise man must always mind what he says, where he says and when he says. Bringing people into Bitcoin investment does not entail that we share our portfolio size with them. It's as simple as, I invest in Bitcoin, if you would also want to invest, this is how you can go about it.
Even when it's not Bitcoin, people should just learn to keep there success a bit secretive for there safety, else, you might be telling the wrong Person and getting into danger unknowingly
