Topic: How's your bitcoin lifestyle? - page 2. (Read 460 times)

So far, this is not where I want to be or what I want to achieve in life, but I know I'll get there eventually. I haven't saved much or invested in bitcoin to the point where I'll have to keep a low profile due to my large earnings or by living a very comfortable but luxurious lifestyle.

I'm already keeping my things private; I don't have to show anyone my earnings, losses, or life setbacks. I come from a place where people can easily take advantage of you, even harm you, if you're seen to be successful. I've known this since I was a child, thanks to my parents, so I don't even try to do that as I know the consequences of my actions if I ever do that.

I'm certainly not well-off, but I'm generally living a comfortable lifestyle, owning my own car, living on my own in a rented apartment, and being able to afford occasional trips. My close friends know that I'm involved in cryptocurrencies and that I'm earning money through Bitcoin. I haven't gone into too much detail because it's not necessary. It's not the easiest or most comfortable topic to explain.

I'm generally trying to keep a low profile, especially with people with whom I'm not close enough to discuss such topics. I don't have too much money in cryptocurrencies, but they're assisting me on a monthly basis. However, most people who are unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies may tend to perceive you as wealthy, because for most, cryptocurrencies seem exotic, at least here. Thus, I tend not to go into too much detail.

Just the casual lifestyle. But sometimes I became more active when there are discussions related to bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. I do not brag anything, just casual exchanges of thoughts about issues, misconceptions, & how Bitcoin can possibly be helpful to our community. Even though I have been here for years, I still don't have great knowledge especially when it comes to the technicalities of bitcoin, that's why I keep low sometimes.

Living a public life (showcasing one's wealth) in one's surroundings or on social media invites a lot of jealousy and hostility from others toward the person. But, when he or she leads a simple life, others will stop thinking negatively of him or her. What I'm trying to convey is that if enough people know where your money comes from, they might try to harm you or stifle your income. Therefore, it is good to live a quiet life. You don't need to struggle with interacting with others just to disclose your bitcoin holdings to them with the intention of letting them know that you have arrived(been rich).

I've witnessed several instances when people have been abused because they flaunt a posh lifestyle in their community and on social media

For your safety and your investment assets, you should not talk about the amount of your assets to anyone other than trusted people. I'm sick of some people show off their wealth on social media as if they ignore any security risks to themselves, they forget that protecting their financial privacy is most important when they have money.

I will not and never will my wealth be obliged to get proper privacy even though I use a centralized exchange all along. When they neglect financial security and privacy, it becomes clear to them the risks that lurk.

My friends and family are aware that I have been investing in bitcoins for a long time. I cannot mislead them since they have no clue about it, yet I am not empowering them to distribute part of their savings into bitcoin. I should only talk when they ask because I know they might blame me if the price of bitcoin falls. I have kept a low profile up until this day, but it is possible that others in my immediate vicinity have also shared information about my involvement in bitcoin investing. Anyhow, I and my family are living like a normal family.

I don't think there's much of a lifestyle when you are in Bitcoin.

On the other hand, it might be boring though, I mean you constantly need to be in front of the computer if you are trader. If you have other day job, then it's going to be exhausting if after work you have to check your investments. So it's not a lifestyle for me, and as what others says, don't flaunt it, keep a low profile. If you are in bitcoin or crypto in general, then you might take your privacy very seriously.

I am not sure if up to five people outside my siblings know that I have anything to do with bitcoin, I believe showing off my bitcoin to the public will definitely attract some attention that I never wanted and that could even put my life in danger because you never can tell who is listening and what type of thought might be going through their mind.
Remember not everyone will be happy with your success, even your most trusted friend might later turn out to be your greatest enemy just because you're doing well then them and that's something that jealousy can cause.

For me I think its solely depends on the individual way  of living his life. Staying on a low key is actually the best way anyone who is into a bitcoin investment is preferred to live. But for myself I don't think I can keep it or live my life as a bitcoiner a secret especially when am benefitting massively from this great invention, personal I like to share my success stories with individuals that are closed to me that are not doing too fine. I feel its good to guide people into crypto vividly explaining the up and down thats involved in it but some people do this through their glamorous way of living and this causing lots of attention as many people would be wanting to know your source of income.

Keeping your lifestyle as bitcoiner depends on your own self,
Firstly, the question is, outside been a bitcoiner, do you keep your normal lifestyle or other activities concerning you private or do you keep them public, sincerely a person that lives a private life won't even have issues to keep his Bitcoin lifestyle private, same goes to someone that has a public lifestyle, he would always want to expose Bitcoin and let people know about it,

But to me I will keep my Bitcoin lifestyle private,it will be my personal thing, let's just be realistic we live in a world where we don't even know who loves us and who hates us, we don't know real friends and real enemies anymore, so placing the little source of income as (bitcoiner) in public is at your own risk, some persons with hatred can do anything stop you, some can even tag you a bitcoin scammer and even report you to the police or maybe Efcc.
So to me I would advice every bitcoiner to keep his Bitcoin lifestyle and activities Private, it's safer that way..

Exposing Bitcoin to people would bring a lot of advices, both good and bad, discouragements, I even remembered when I wanted to register for Bitcointalk, I told a friend about it, there was nothing he didn't say to me that day, as Bitcointalk is filled with scammers, members are not straight forward, as Bitcointalk is so difficult to access, but on a long run I refused to be discouraged, I still got registered, start learning and posting and now I'm here...

I don't post my Bitcoin activities on any social media platforms and have not even thought of doing so, I'm just on a low, so low

I keep my bitcoin activities private as much as possible. I don't share anything unless someone shows interest in bitcoin. I introduced bitcoin to my family and close friends, who I knew for years.
One of the main reasons is that the government does not allow us to transact with bitcoin or anything related to bitcoin or cryptocurrency. Another reason is I like to keep privacy when it comes to financing.

By keeping it simple and humble, you actually put yourself in a more secured and relatively safer environment, compared if you flaunt your riches on social media. With the rampant of crimes nowadays, you may be considered as a target for malicious and cyber hacking attempts in the event that they discover your riches in the cryptocurrency world.

Personally, I do not share any much information that I know. In addition, I also do not share to anyone that I do not trust the methods that I currently employ in earning BTC as this also has a stigma in our country.

This is true.

There are people who will always envy what you have to the point that they are making different stories about you because of what you are doing but they never know what you are doing. If you tell them what you do too especially cryptocurrency you might get in trouble if people know you are holding one. So, I like it to be off the grid from these people since no matter what you say to them they wouldn't understand for sure.

Enjoy your life without having no one to know you are enjoying, it means you don't have to tell them your are celebrating your small success. Just enjoy with the companion you have who are trustworthy and your life will be in peace.

Asking about someone's bitcoin lifestyle will certainly make a lot of difference. Since I got to know bitcoin and have lived my life side by side with bitcoin, financially all my needs have been met and I have several Bitcoin savings and other assets. Since bitcoin was not very popular until now I have been consistent in continuing to collect bitcoins. Maybe 2018 will be my first peak of success because the price of bitcoin at that time rose drastically and gave me a lot of profit. I remain a private person with my bitcoin work, and don't flaunt what I have too much, because that would also be dangerous.

Still good since continuously earning some good cash while staying at home participating on many activities on any platform by using it. But on public eyes? I remain low key and as possible as I can I never tell anyone I'm into cryptocurrency because don't want to get mix impression about what I am doing and also I don't want to get disturb by people asking some loan if they know I have money nor ask about many things about it. Better stay low key than stress from those people only good when they can get something in return.

What I try to do constantly is trying to minimize the level of the awareness I create in the mind of other people,  because the advantage of popularity can't be compared to the price of peace's low standard but with high.

But then its feels really good knowing that we have an alternative that is free from interference from third party

The topic of Bitcoin gets mixed reactions in my circles because Bitcoin is usually associated with scammers especially if you are on these social media platforms like telegram or Facebook you know how annoying people will always drop Dams or comments related to Bitcoin investment etc which even Facebook seems not to have under control but like everyone has pointed out, Bitcoin is really a private lifestyle tbh...my Bitcoin my business it ends at that, but I must say Bitcoin has gained some ground and more people silently talk about it especially that once in a while it makes some news headlines.

I will keep the privacy of a bitcoiner because I also don't want my lifestyle to look more luxurious just because bitcoin is always a lot of questions in the public.

Because I still work in an office and also do business, some people never think of me as a bitcoiner or they don't know how much bitcoin they have, about this I will always be closed unless the closest person knows about it, for that style, don't be too glamorous because I'm happier with a normal lifestyle and not overdoing it just because earning for bitcoins is definitely going to invite more controversy.

Private lifestyle always serves best these days where inflation has risen and others try to take advantage of those who show they have enough. Where it is worse is the fact that you may not know the extent to which that friend who seem interested in your affairs of finance knows or is hiding.
Bitcoin lifestyle should be dealt same way. After all, ones lifestyle is reflected by how they spend thier income. If the source of earning your Bitcoin is not legit, or it serves as passive income till you figure out things or you haven't quite figured out the earning part that suits you and you can benefit from fully, why showoff?
Until you get to the point or position where you feel comfortable to open up, please do so without fidgeting or stuttering or trying too hard to show everyone you have more money.
I really don't make noise or act lavish with the little knowledge I have about Bitcoin, because I am still learning and would love to have gotten to a master merchant stage before even spending my profits accumulated.

We live a society or an era where people show off when new technology suffices. It is just like getting the latest iPhone and holding it off for people to see. People brag about cryptocurrency so that the less knowledgeable ones will either respect them on hold them in high regards. That’s why you see cryptocurrency chats on people’s social media handles. I see this as a great danger because from my place once you are found to be involved in cryptocurrency people tend to think you are getting lots of money from it and they will also learn. With this mindset of getting rich people come into the space investing way more than they could lose and you hear stories of how people naivety made them broke. Personal it is better to be on a low key since bitcoin hasn’t been globally approved by the government.
