What is the hidden secret of showcasing your Bitcoin asset publicly

[Shaponzy]

Greetings to my superiors here. I hope am posting this in the right place to ask questions as a newbie. There is something that have been on my mind concerning Bitcoin, or expecially about how some individuals today choose to present themselves,particularly those people involved in Bitcoin earnings in my community, many young people nowadays seems eager to display thier sources of income in public. I javelin seen people that decorated thier rooms with Bitcoin logos, thier motorcycle plates and also customized thier cars with different Bitcoin logos designs, we are in an era where our physical appearance tells who tou are. Because of all these some individuals may not truly hold huge Bitcoin, but thier lifestyles display creates the an attentions of your enemies, and that will leads to serious security risks. So my concerns is this, is it really good to showcase our financial involvement publicly? Because toe it feel like an indirect form of exposing your financial  status which is meant to be secret, i think when it comes to the one's personal security and safety caution should comes  first.

If you want to stay safe it is better not to show that you are attached to bitcoin, because we do not know who will intend to steal it from, not a few people have experienced theft to kidnap someone and even kill when they know that you have a lot of bitcoin to steal.

Displaying the bitcoin logo in your private room and just a form of self-expression of pride in bitcoin is fine, but it should be your privacy space and not just anyone can enter it.

It's better not to show attachment to bitcoin and avoid arrogant things like that. 

Those influencers may have their own security by having bodyguards as a form of protection, if you can afford to do that then do it, but if not, it's better to be private, especially if someone who is not willing to pay wealth tax to the state.

To an extent, Bitcoin with its symbol BTC had become a common trends for beautifications in both arts and graphic designs whereas, even those who are not Bitcoin fans are likely to engrave the BTC on materials for decorations.
We also have the invention trending on cloths and meme stickers.

The image you see below is a plaster of paris (POP) ceiling designed with the BTC symbol installed in neighbors sitting room and when I asked where he got the ideal with this design he said he just like it. This means he only like it (BTC) in the beautiful appearance but does not truly know what it means.
That means some people who uses it for customizations don't even know what it means in the financial and technology aspect and I don't see anything wrong about the interior design.
                                                                 

If you are talking about enthusiasts disclosing their engagement with Bitcoin in the public such as exposing their portfolios, there is were I don't find it right because, it could attract evil exhibitions to you just to steal your funds.

You should never tell anyone that you have Bitcoin. This way you can get into danger and lose all your holdings. You will not get any benefit by telling others but you will lose, so you should always refrain from taking this approach. But yes, there are many who are involved in all these things but they may not have anything at all and are doing this for that. If a person really has a lot of Bitcoin, then he will never want other people to know about his Bitcoin.

Instead of exposing yourself to such danger, you should continue to buy quietly and hold your holdings for a long time, it will be good for you. But yes, there are some people who do this, they are mainly involved in trading and when they cannot do anything by trading, they make money by cheating everyone and then they reveal all this

For certain people, this logo might be familiar, but some people in my country do not understand it. In terms of the influencer business model, I think putting the logo in a place where others can see it is clearly for promotional purposes. But for those who put it on because they feel proud and are involved in Bitcoin, that may also be the case. However, there are many people who don't put this logo anywhere but still use it. All of that is a choice and comes with risks. Of course, the latter situation is the most ideal to choose. I even do that myself. Because we won't attract the attention of others, including malicious people, to investigate us further. But for those who take pride in displaying it, they must accept the risk. The same goes for influencers they certainly understand, and they are even willing to use luxurious and expensive items.

Believe me when I say this that anyone that throws up a flashy lifestyle that suggest that he owns too much bitcoin has very little amount of bitcoin in reality. If you're someone that owns that amount of bitcoin, chances are high that you wouldn't allow a third party know that you're holding that amount of bitcoin.

Privacy at this phase of life is extremely important and while you might think that you're trying to let the world know that you're tech inclined or that you're holding a certain chunk of bitcoin, reality is that you're doing more harm to yourself than good. Keeping things on a low key is not a sign of weakness, it's just a testament that you know what security is all about and that you're ready to use it to your advantage.

I know whenever newbie ask this kind of question, show that the newbie is ready to learn not to behave like other newbies in the industry. A lot of bad things have happened to many that display their BTC profit in public that makes some scammers to used different tactics to scam them, because they brought themselves out for people to know that they have plenty of BTC in their wallets. For those that have the knowledge of BTC investment and invested what they can afford to lose,it will be hard for them to tell their friends or love ones that they are holding or buying BTC, because they know that is very easy for some bad guys to  robb your BTC to make you frustrated in the society.

The best hidden secret to showcase your BTC is in your wallet. Let it be that you are the only one that is seeing the BTC in your wallet and do everything possible within your knowledge to store the seed phrases to where nobody will have access to them.

This is 100% true since already read news about a person being kidnap by someone because he knows he has bitcoin and he has been keep in his home, forcing him to give up the bitcoin, luckily he had escape, so this is the right way if you really like bitcoin, keep silent just show it in your room, or just stay lowkey, if you showoff people will be curious and if they found out you have lots of bitcoin,  and since the value is now high they might get in interest on what you have and do bad things, people really change when it comes to money, and they will do anything even take lives just to have what they desire.
When i say lowkey, live simple, don't let others know what you are really hustlin its better to look poor than to be rich , but your life will be in danger.

If they have business to run and need to do marketing for their business, using a founder wealth as one of their marketing initiatives is good.
If they only want to flex their wealth because they want to be recognized, famous and so on, it's risky and should not do. This flexing practice only puts them under more greedy eyes and bad people can do physical attacks for stealing valuable assets.

There are many reported physical attacks already.

All I know is that the more Bitcoin value increases the likelihood that we will keep seeing wrench attacks everywhere in the world, right now it's only popular in France but there are already many countries adopting Bitcoin than France, it's only a matter of time.

If you want to be safe, you need to start doing the right thing from now on, not when the attack start happening in your country, make sure you don't speak about Bitcoin in public, people know how to keep words, they can mark you.

Avoid showing off in public like having Bitcoin signature on your dress or having a chain that's customise with Bitcoin logo, I am seeing people doing this stupid thing in my country, that's why I am talking about it now, they are putting their lives in danger.

[Merit.s]

I keep my bitcoin investment a secret from people but I can advise someone to invest in bitcoin and teach him about the basic knowledge of bitcoin if he is interested. As a matter of fact, only my close friends know that I am into bitcoin.

However, it's your choice to do whatever, you like. Since down here in my country nobody will look at you twice if you have any bitcoin logo on you because they will think you just love it. It's only people around you that saw or heard you bragging about your bitcoin portfolio that rob you.

There was an increase in attacks on those who are known to be involved in crypto businesses. Many happened in France and a few in some other countries. Even the creator of Bitcoin has not been known by the public. This is an indication that Bitcoin promotes privacy. There is no need to do things that will make us targets of criminals. I prefer to live a modest life so that I can move freely without security or fear of attacks. Only a few close family and friends are aware of my interest in Bitcoin. There is a dangerous perception in my area that anyone who owns Bitcoin is rich. So there is a need to maintain privacy.

Some influencers or celebrities might showcase how much they own. This is because it is part of the promotion of their brands and  they are always secured by the police or personal security.  

[Jewan420]

If you want to keep yourself safe, never show off your wealth or use any insinuations that make you appear wealthy. Many people do this to show off or to show off, but in their arrogance, they forget about their own safety,

Especially when it comes to valuable assets like Bitcoin, it attracts more fraudsters or criminals, so if you try to attract them by promoting Bitcoin, you are only putting yourself in danger. I think it is better to keep your earnings and achievements to yourself.

You should never tell anyone that you have Bitcoin. This way you can get into danger and lose all your holdings. You will not get any benefit by telling others but you will lose, so you should always refrain from taking this approach. But yes, there are many who are involved in all these things but they may not have anything at all and are doing this for that. If a person really has a lot of Bitcoin, then he will never want other people to know about his Bitcoin.

One the about some people is that they no fit keep their secrets within themselves without telling peoples, and that’s why some easily get fall in hand of scammers because if you telling some people what you have or hold many bitcoins you’re holding; you don’t really know who is happy with what you have which is why telling some your assets is very risks at times.

Instead of exposing yourself to such danger, you should continue to buy quietly and hold your holdings for a long time, it will be good for you. But yes, there are some people who do this, they are mainly involved in trading and when they cannot do anything by trading, they make money by cheating everyone and then they reveal all this

That’s the best thing when it come to buy a Bitcoin and to hold for a very long period of time. The only people that  fit tell that I have a Bitcoin that I’m holding is my family member; and even my member not everyone I can tell because this life now even the blood brothers are not trusted especially when it involves of money.

[promise444c5]

From your post I could tell you’re most likely from my country Nigeria   .. I’ve seen a lot of it anyway.

So my concerns is this, is it really good to showcase our financial involvement publicly? Because toe it feel like an indirect form of exposing your financial  status which is meant to be secret, i think when it comes to the one's personal security and safety caution should comes  first.

Depends on what you do but this  shouldn’t be a question. Why do you need to show public that Bitcoin  makes you money? Brag and invite attention on you? Just zip up that mouth and live a quiet life.

We have a lot guys here in Nig. , who are into direct P2P trading without any involvement of third parties likes exchanges.
They  advertise themselves publicly especially on social media , which makes them prone to a lot of threats and attacks.
That’s what they risk to make money and they are always prepared.. But the wise ones go for an anonymous identities, what they will likely suffer is trust.

[Stalker22]

Honestly, I think its fucking suicide.  I have seen guys pull that "Bitcoin bro" shit and acting like big shots, and it always ends badly.  You are literally begging some desperate asshole to follow you home and hold a knife to your throat for a seed phrase.  Keep your mouth shut and your money hidden, because in this world, being "flashy" is just a fast track to getting robbed or worse.

If it’s good for you as a person, that depends.
If you are someone that runs a business and you accept Bitcoin for a means of payment for your goods or service, then that’s positive advertising for you. How you choose your security afterwards is up to you because, with such loudness comes some unwanted publicity as well.

Bitcoin transactions aren’t meant to be secret. In fact, it’s the most public means of transacting there is as, it believes more in transparency than anything else. Having Bitcoin stickers on your property doesn’t mean you own Bitcoin and it certainly doesn’t display your balance on a wallet. Only you can put that out in the open.

There is no point in flaunting your money, especially your Bitcoin. In fact, it will only attract criminals who want to rob you. Many terrible cases have happened to people whose Bitcoin possessions have been discovered, even leading to murder. For example; the murder of a Bitcoin owner in Ukraine.

Reference : decrypt.co - Four Arrested in Bitcoin Kidnap-Murder Case

In essence, never tell anyone about your Bitcoin, especially if it is a large amount. That is like telling someone your financial secrets, which should be kept private. Just remember, "Crime generally occurs, when there is an Opportunity". So, don't give them the opportunity.

[rat03gopoh]

There's no secret, just don't try to be everyone's center of attention by any means. I've been in this industry for almost 10 years and have never been interested in buying and showing off physical accessories around me.
The only pride that shouldn't be flaunted carelessly is involvement in bitcoin. Even criminals don't know about fractions; they just hear about the fantastic prices and assume everyone involved must have at least one bitcoin.

[Odogwu-Blockchain]

It depends on where you leave, are you leaving in France, that's the riskiest place to showcase your belongings with Bitcoin Logo, France has been recorded the highest number of Bitcoin theft and kidnaps in the world as far as I know. Are you from there?

Anyway, it's isn't good to flaunt your bitcoin to the public, you might not have Bitcoin in your wallet but evil eyes are now on you, who knows the kind of criminal planning to kidnap you.

It's best to stay private and leave low-key no matter the amount of Bitcoin you may have.
