Yeah, I think you are right. In my locality crypto isn't well known yet but, maybe in the next few years to come it will be well known and when it does there will be an increase in crime activities. So you just have to stay humble and let as few people as possible to know u are a crypto holder. Nowadays you can only trust few or non.
Newbies and those who have the brag attitude in them this is for you, don't ever and ever talk about crypto to people who know where you lives, that includes your neighbors because you will be marked, crypto is a like Fiat, if anyone wants to rob for Fiat bank is the way but crypto? You keep your keys safe at home, when criminals know this you are in for some trouble
This is the reason why "privacy" is important, we don't know what our neighbors, friends or followers on social media think when they know we hold a lot of coins. (maybe they are planning to sabotage or want to rob us)don't make things catchy, stay humble and private.
I don't like been around too many people, the type of people I roll with are those I can accept in my circle, if you aren't time waster yourself you won't have the time to give people some face, this won't make them want to know much about you, you don't need the bragging because it makes a man lose focus, live a low-key life
Part of being an investor is practicing moderation in your words and lifestyle, if you know how to protect your coins by picking the right wallet and encrypting it, you should also know that moderation is part of protecting your coins.
And if you cannot then you have to spend money protecting yourself and your family you are your own bank it's so easy to target you if they know what you have and they can get it through private keys which you are holding.

Never be boastful in knowing or earning money with cryptocurrency because karma can hit you anytime and anywhere.
Always stay humble and keep your feet on the ground because there are many people who are more successful than us.
Cryptocurrency is a must to spread good information about it but if you try to belittle someone about earning a crypto then that's really a problem.

When we involve in one thing, we need to be responsible for taking care and making sure that everything is safe and under control, so we do not have to worry if something bad happens.
We must keep the wallet in a safe place and not tell other people because that can make them suspicious and if those people are bad, they will try to search for that wallet and steal it from us.
With the popularity of crypto now, many people become interested. They want to have crypto as other people because they see the potency of crypto that can give them a big profit in the future.
So take care of your crypto and keep that secret with yourself.

there an advantage of being a lowkey person or like what op said being humble and down to earth, actually people who brag are the people who are mostly disliked by other people, the only ones who will like that person are the people who also want to take advantage of him because maybe he has money, in the crypto world if you brag about your money in social media you might put yourself in a bad situation especially with pandemic people needs money and bad people might rob you even worse kill you so stay humble.
I don't really get what you are trying to point or to share here. It is possible for a hacker to get or gain access to your private keys even if there is no criminal knows where you live. That is why there are security measures you can use to help you secured your crypto. You can use different crypto wallet and choose what type of wallet.
Firstly the hackers would first have something on you, before they can work on the information, silence/anonymity in crypto-currency is part of safety.And these includes
+ Posting ID or addresses on bounty programs
+ Telegram involvement that's are unsafe
+ Free giveaways, faucet
+ Using your main crypto-currency wallet for example in passing down knowledge.
I think wealth is intoxicating, and especially when you have it in crypto-currency, and crypto-currency being the trend it can add to hype ego showing off you involved in it, and all that can be lethal.
Yeh, I noticed a guy at work was always bragging he'd sunk a LOT of money into bitcoin before it went to $20,000 a couple of years ago then bragged then bemoaned when it started sliding downwards.
As Bitcoin reached $50,000 this year he went eerily silent about owning any Crypto.
Funny that.

It's hard to tell if he has sold or he has became aware of the actual value and its fragility.
However, it's a great story. And if you remember this, others do too.
Basically whatever he did, does or will do, he still have "possible target" painted on his back. For quite some more years.
Each of us has different goals and plans, and that’s normal.
I know people who sold bitcoin when it was worth a few hundred dollars and are now depressed about it.
Each of us should take responsibility for our decisions.
If he really sold his bitcoins too fast, it is certainly not easy for him now, but life goes on and everyone can buy cryptocurrencies again and make money again, there are no limits and everything can be fixed, every wrong decision corrected and that is the beauty of cryptocurrencies.

Ha-ha, that sounded threatening, but that is the truth. When you are a doctor who spent 10 years in education and now stably earns 200-300k a year that doesn't make you a target, but if you put 100$ years ago into bitcoin and now your money is worth 200-300k that will make lol. Well, the doctor probably has a safer house in a better neighborhood, insured and with the money kept in banks and safe deposits. Also he doesn't stand out from the others from his neighborhood or his entourage, hence even if he'd be bragging, the others won't care so much.
On the other hand, "you" and the bragging most probably would stand out and could reach easier unwanted ears.
There's ways of going about it. I've certainly helped people, but I've never really shown specifically the amount that I've earned. You can simply give them ballpark figures, and what they could expect to earn. At the end of the day, in matters on your initial investment, and what route the market takes. It really isn't specific to the person.
I think it still depends on who you are talking to and if they are trustworthy enough, to begin with. The best way, IMO, is to tell them that they themselves can earn but they need to study and put some real effort into it as well. Understand why the likes of Elon Musk are hyping crypto. Educating them with what crypto is the best approach.Plus there's plenty of examples of people earning money out there, that isn't you. If they ask specifically what you earned, you can just politely tell them you'd rather not talk about it. Although, even that if your talking to a person that you might not think is trustworthy, then that alone could arise suspicion that you've earned a decent amount.
I think people who became famous by becoming a millionaire in the recent Doge pump could be a great example of those. So saying those who had the opportunity to become millionaires could immediately say that they could earn from it. But doing that is a different story as well (because of trading).

Lol as far as I know many people want to do crypto right now, even if some people hate you for your crypto success they can get mad enough to get in the game themselves, crypto is freedom and anyone can learn just by using Google, the news about attacks on crypto holders is very limited I believe

Crypto and fiat are totally different and therefore the security measures to store crypto are entirely different than the fiat. With fiat you can keep the money in the bank and bank is responsible for the safeguard of your money But with crypto no matter in which wallet you keep your crypto (Online / Cold wallet) the responsibilities of keeping it save entirely depends upon you.
Very true. Remain humble and low key as much as you can. But you can't avoid those people who really are close to you that will ask for your crypto profits and wanting to have an idea. You choose whom to talk seriously about crypto.
Don't talk to random strangers that would ask you about it because they can attack you with a wrench anytime at their will.

Stop posting on your facebook about cryptocurrency
I did this long time ago but I talk seriously to my closest friends and relatives about it whom I know the attitude are fine to disclose about crypto topics. 
Stop posting on your facebook about cryptocurrency as well because you are going to be a walking target when people find out you are in the crypto business. Wearing Tshirts with crypto logo on them could be a clue for them.
Staying humble could be difficult when you want to provide a comfortable life to your family so just make sure you only show the minimum for people around you NOT to get envy.
Good advise, there's nothing to brag about especially if you are holding a decent amount of crypto, that will make your life safer and you'll live in peace. Just try to reflect on what satoshi did, he is now the richest crypto holder as he discovered bitcoin, but he choose to stay anonymous as he knows the risk associated of being popular and he will never live a normal life.
This reminds me of past year, I think in 2018/2019 when bitcoin Jesus and one other man are trying to fight for satoshi's sit, telling the world that they are the real nakamoto, the fact is some people want the world to know what they are worth, many are doing it presently and nothing hurts them, just know the type of people you will roll with, don't keep any bad company and you will be fine https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/23/australian-man-craig-wrights-claim-he-invented-bitcoin-to-be-considered-by-uk-court
Some of my friends who have been in the crypto world for a long time don't really publish about their work and assets held in crypto. They and including me choose to keep or keep what I have been doing at home in front of the computer a secret. This will also protect us from robbery that aims to take crypto assets (but nothing happened to date).
always being aware of the surroundings and securing our assets and ourselves is very important for our continuity in the future.
