Topic: Going public saying you own Bitcoin is not safe anymore - page 3. (Read 930 times)
With the way things are going now, I believe is a very bad idea broad casting yourself which their are lot's of criminals that will be after you, in my country right now if you are having money is better you keep it to yourself because you will be monitored and your life is at risk, I don't think is of use you telling everybody your worth. For like me now people that knows am trading if they ask me how profitable it is I always tell them I don't have money but am just surviving so we all have to be careful.
Nowadays we need to be careful when publicly admitting to owning Bitcoin. A lot of crypto traders have been receiving threats as in the case of Daniel one of the guys from Chart Champions.
Things are escalating as, apparently, a 14-year-old kid from England got kidnapped after bragging on social media posts about having lots of money made from trading cryptocurrencies.
That's why I don't like anyone to know I'm in the Crypto business.

It seems alarming because plenty of cases are there. if we lose money or gold we can complaint to police or somewhere but in the case of crypto we are helpless. Because,
Is not have any legal backing and
Is decentralized
so we are the only person who is responsible for our crypto asset. That's why public speaking or discuss with anyone is really dangerous and should aware about the consequences we face.
If you live on unsafe place or country and knows about how that things work well maybe you can say that but if you are in safe country which doesn't know yet the bitcoin technology then we can say your safe. And also why the heck you can say your not safe for telling that maybe for tax matters? Since if not well how the neighbors stole your holdings if you didn't hold anything physically? Also they don't know where or how did you store your bitcoins so we shouldn't get paranoid about this.
we don't need people's acknowledgment that we are involved in the crypto world, so it's better to be silent and not reveal about ourselves who are members of the crypto world to ordinary people. I think it's safer because we don't know other people's intentions, so to reduce the bad risk it's better to just keep quiet. don't forget to also keep our data about crypto safe so that other people don't know about our personal data such as passwords or other things related to our assets.
Perhaps, getting known to the public that you hold Bitcoin is not making you proud but it encourages scammers and hackers to track your keys/password. I guess keeping anonymous in the public is very important especially this crisis time to avoid such unwanted things. Being bulgar to the people around would something it gives some awareness about crypto and help them also understand but somehow, it also compromise your safety knowing that we don't know the mind of the people around and we have to anticipate those things before it happens.

This is so true. Announcing to people that you own bitcoin is not in any way safe. No matter how small the quantity of BTC I possess, I can't do it, for what?
Bitcoin is a digital store of value, announcing to people that you own it is indirectly telling people you own money, putting risking your live and your funds at risk. To me, my crypto asset is my money and it's always kept secret.

Having a crypto investment now needs more attention for the holders, and it is not easy to share what they have because that can attract people's attention. The bad people can do many things, including kidnapping those who have crypto until they say where they keep their coin and transfer it into the kidnapper's wallet. That is your investment, and that is your responsibility to protect your funds in a secret wallet. Do not let other people know where you keep your coins.
Such crimes are indeed very prone to occur, because the target of criminals is directly at crypto users. As owners of crypto wealth, we must really maintain our identity and do not share our public addresses.Cryptocurrencies are very transparent and no one can hide, all will be recorded. therefore, do not include your real identity if it will be dangerous.
Keep the private key safe and don't share it with anyone except trusted people.
Well, you're somewhat correct but it isn't safe online as well.
Someone getting your email and sending you fake wallet links. Forget about fake links you search on google "blockchain wallet" and the first few results are fake wallets.
I remember this incident occurred with EtherDelta and Blockchain.info wallet not it's Blockchain.com
even knowing that you are already gradually been hacked which it do really plays a big role into yourself about having that common sense and awareness on dealing up with things.You wont really be easily scammed if you do really make yourself mindful about being realistic on things
and wont really be making yourself blind about probabilities.

Having bitcoins or a full-time trader isn't something to brag about publicly, because evil minds nowadays are already lurking almost everywhere and worst they are the ones whom you know or a relative. So in order to secure yourself and keep your family safe it's better not to boast about it or even share a tiny detail that you're on bitcoin doing trading and stuff.
If you can't bring yourself in that state, it's better to relocate somewhere else where nobody knows you or anything you do. And install cctv or hire somebody if you can afford.

Nowadays, it is preferable to hide rather than to flaunt one's wealth.
It's absolutely bad to flaunt one's wealth. What's the gain in doing that, come to think of it if not to intimidate others. For me, only those who are in showbiz can flaunt and it's justifiable because flaunting in a part of showbiz. Otherwise, there's no need one letting others know about one's bling bling.At least the kid is all right after that ordeal, which I'm sure must have been terrifying.
That kid's life won't be the same again. It's scarred for the rest of it. That horrifying trauma of his kidnap will perpetually be there in his subconsciousness to torment him. I'm sure his sleep will be nightmarish this day. Again, there's likely to be repeated attempts on him now that people know he's worth something; except his parents are able to provide him private security. It's just goodbye to childhood for him. He may not be able to lead a normal hassle free life of children again.Hopefully the jackoff kidnapper will do the entire 4 years.
Four years is a slap on the wrist for such a heinous crime. 
I think someone already posted this kind of problem where when someone is bragging about his crypto assets, those evil guys will find some way to get him especially when they are in the same country. Just like what happened to these guys, they are a victim of their own mouth because they cannot shut it due to wanting to get some compliment from the people.

Looks like the data is updated as well, you can put it in the first page OP to lat everyone aware of what they gonna get if they will do the same as those people on the list.

This is true. Don't be too confident to share it to other's especially if you don't totally know them because we don't know if what will be playing on their minds after knowing we own bitcoin. It is too dangerous to narrate to people that you are involved in crypto industry. It's better to not show unto them for you to not receive threats like you said. As much as possible it's better to not expose ownership. However, social media was too popular right now that's why we can't just ignore it, as we can see most of the people who hold bitcoin are too proud to tell the whole world that they own even just a little. They must be careful because evil acts might always monitor them from all direction that they are not aware of.

Therefore we must wisely use social media, because many criminals use social media too. Not all things are good for us to share on social media,
we must be able to limit which things are allowed to be shown to the public. Especially when it comes to wealth, it can attract the attention of
criminals. With Bitcoin price already above $60k, that's a very high value. So for people showing off that they own Bitcoin, it means they are
indirectly telling the public they are rich. Of course this makes them the target of criminals, especially now that the global crisis is still happening,
make people look for shortcuts to earn money. So in some countries the crime rate has increased since the pandemic. So it's better we don't have
to show how much Bitcoin we have, or don't even look at the profit we make from trading on social media, it's very risky.

I don't think that it was ever safe to make a coming out like that, people don't like what they don't understand, it makes them curious, but you never know their reaction, so simply say you're an accountant
People also don't like it when others succeed. I'm not sure why, but I've noticed that if one of my friends gets a new car or other new possessions, they mock or bash him about it. When it comes to starting a business, they don't think about others; they only think about themselves. Right now, the best thing to do is to keep quiet and keep your head down. Previously, many people would be pleased if you shared your accomplishments, but now they will begin to criticize you.

for me its not threats or kidnapping.
it was more of the female gold diggers and male 'buddy i need a favour'.. basically people treating you as their way of getting free money by sucking up to you as their best friend.
certain people think you will be the one buying the rounds of drinks, or be the person to give them buddy loans that are interest free with no repayment commitments
i never publicly blasted out to random strangers what i do, so not an ego thing. but you definitely notice certain people you have previously associated with change their persona towards you once they know

it seems that being too open and showing off one's wealth is becoming very dangerous at this point. Well, maybe those bad guys have been watching his activities for a long time, and kidnapped him when he had the chance.
however, I also thought not to flaunt our wealth in public. We don't know what the bad guys out there are thinking. maintaining privacy can also be something that keeps us safe from bad people.

This is true.
But when someone I know asks me if I'm in, I'm happy to share what I've been through but I never brag what I've got since I'm also alarmed with that situation that has happened to others.
It's good to keep it as a secret but if there's someone whom you trust and it's fine to you, tell it freely if you want to but nobody forces you in doing so.
