Yep, you would be attracting attention.
But most of it would be not about how to steal from you, but rather what the hell is this in the first place, imo  Wink

Definitely you're risking your privacy, it's fine to own art or anything related to Bitcoin, but better to use it for personal instead of letting someone know if you really like Bitcoin. If I were you, I will hide the painting in secret place, just like the way I hide my seed phrase.

Maybe if it is displayed on the wall of the house it is not a problem, provided that it is only seen by close people, such as family, relatives, relatives, etc.
When it comes to money, anyone can be your enemy, no matter how close the relationship is.

Just don't tell people how much you hold in BTC, and you must be fine. That is the most important thing to be careful about. And when they start asking such questions to you, reply them you don't own much and that you are just a beginner or learner on this field yet.
Oh man, do you think people will just believe in what you told to them?

If you have a private life, live with minimalist lifestyle, never ask for money etc anything related to simple and private, people will judge you rich because you're just stay lowkey. This is different if you often ask for money and bad grooming, they will think you're broke.

Basically I have a bitcoin logo engraved with my name on my wall, lost of people have seen it but they never asked me if I have bitcoin nor do I feel threatened for such action.
Maybe because they do not even know what the logo represents.

I do think that it will depend on the kind of environment you are in. Some people might not care as much maybe because just like you they already own some bitcoin. But I would not be so comfortable parading around the fact that I own some bitcoin around people who may not have bitcoins themselves. If you live in a place where it is secured and no one easily can get in then I think it is okay.

I still want to be safe rather than sorry so I do not want to test my luck.

Not necessarily. You might be just an eccentric person who enjoys modern art. Bitcoin is money, and by just displaying its logo through art, it doesn't mean you have a lot of coins in your wallet. I guess thieves are more interested in wealthy goods. If you were displaying a fancy watch, car or jewel you would become an instant target for them. But since it's a Bitcoin art, most of them won't even pay attention to it...

Just don't tell people how much you hold in BTC, and you must be fine. That is the most important thing to be careful about. And when they start asking such questions to you, reply them you don't own much and that you are just a beginner or learner on this field yet.

I just saw his artworks now and ended up visiting his website. It's true that his pieces are captivating and their uniqueness certainly stands out. It's amazing to own such pieces. I think the decision to display art should be balanced with some practicality in mind. It could be displayed in a space that's not too exposed to the public or placed somewhere that can be moved or hidden when necessary. Even when I wear a simple Bitcoin shirt merch outside, I feel a bit hesitant because people might think I’m rich or have a large holding even though I don’t or they might think I’m pretending to be low-key.

It is just a work of art and if the painting is very interesting and beautiful to look at then people will judge it as a beautiful painting without any other words other than Bitcoin which I think people will not think negatively because it is not certain that the person who owns the Bitcoin painting has a lot of Bitcoin or even not much at all.

And most importantly we should not show off the luxury of wealth because it has the potential to cause crime because bad people will be more interested if they can make money and it is easy to get it, because Bitcoin is not that easy and it depends on each individual how to secure it because Bitcoin is intangible and it is just a painting. And my question is, so far has there ever been a case of a Bitcoin painting owned by someone who has negative things that harm the owner of the painting. Because I once found a Bitcoin painting or Bitcoin graffiti on a fence wall and everything was fine and even used as a place to take pictures if the writing or picture was interesting.

There are many bitcoin artists in various arts: painting, sculpture, drawing ...

I particularly like Lucho Poletti and would love to see his work on the walls of my house. The question I'm asking myself: by doing this, aren't I attracting too much attention and becoming a potential victim of theft?  (Although you can love Poletti's work without being rich in btc)
yes you will be attracting attention to yourself especially if you want to put it outside of your own house you might get your house broken down in and they might scour your house for bitcoin and it does not matter if you actually have it or not lying around your house the theft might hold you in captive and force you to give them some of your bitcoins

right now bitcoin is hot and a lot of people would do anything to acquire more bitcoin than what they have which means they are desperate and we need to be extra careful and protect ourselves

Maybe if it is displayed on the wall of the house it is not a problem, provided that it is only seen by close people, such as family, relatives, relatives, etc. However, it will be a different story if it is seen by someone you don't know, for example if you try to share it on social media, and there is a possibility that criminals will mark it and find out, so it will cause loss or theft as you said. So basically it doesn't matter as long as it's not shared with other people.
The right word will be trusted family members.  But these days it is becoming difficult to trust people considering the rate at which the love for money is increasing everyday.  The news sometimes carry stories of how close family members or friends harm people because they want to steal from them. I might not be correct but if you are security conscious it will be better to keep your connections with Bitcoin secret and disclose it to just one or two trusted people.

Secondly, you might not be able to control who comes into your room especiallyif you are not living alone. Sometimes children can easily bring their friends into any room at home and they could expose what you are keeping secret. Except you live in a relatively secures area or you accept Bitcoin in your business, it is better not to expose anything that will give people hints that your own Bitcoin..because the days are evil.

I'm not conversant with any Bitcoin artist and I am hearing about Lucho Poletti for the first time ( I might read about him). I have seen some fine Bitcoin related artwork from some members of the forum and I love some of them. However, I will not like to keep anything that connects me to Bitcoin in my environment.  My concerns is the misconception in my country by most people that anybody who owns Bitcoin is rich. Living in a country with some security issues this could make one a target of these criminals.  It will be better to be security conscious because you don't know who is monitoring you.

It doesn't matter if you don't get fooled by them then you won't become a victim. You are right about being a potential victim if you wre attracting too much attention but as the post above said that there's a way to not get scammed or fooled by people with bad intention like scamming you for example by selling you an art but nothing you will get and you only pay the scammer bitcoin for the so called art which is as I have said mentioned in above post and that is to avoid.

Yes, you are going to draw unwanted attention to yourself. If a visitor knows how expensive the artwork cost they want to ask more questions.

If you done want these to happen then you should place the artwork in a part of your house where only you and family members can see it. Don't go taking pictures of it and telling us on the internet page where you share it about your history of investing in Bitcoin.

So it basically depends on the psychology of the environment on bitcoin. If you know it's going to attract attention towards you then avoidance is the best thing.


I'm not convinced this is a bitcoin discussion.
