So what I'm getting from all the suggestions...is I need to use two cups and a really really long string. Perfect!  Grin

Seriously though, thank you all for the suggestions. The strongest to me seems like encrypted voice message.

If you want to use your voice, maybe you can do it with a voice changer or something that would help hide your identity if you're worried about talking online or if you're not talking online, you're probably going to be doing fine just limiting the stuff that you're talking about, take for example when someone's trying to pry on how much bitcoin you've got, you can say that you've only got a small amount and then show it to them in your phone that carries that amount of bitcoins, @Maus0728's advice is the best, keeping a low profile and splitting your funds into different wallets would make you not worry that you might be talking to someone that's planning to do something malicious to you, make it natural too that you're limiting your knowledge because some people will easily catch up to that.

If you're worried that you might divulge information that can lead you to be a victim of social engineering, probably the best thing that you can do in my opinion is to shut the fuck up about bitcoin all the time, don't let people know that you've got bitcoin or that you're invested in cryptocurrency without you knowingly giving away the fact that you're invested in bitcoin, that's the best practice.

Keep a low profile and make it look like you're not invested in anything and you're also going to have to deal with people that will talk first about their investments, remember to not falter and do some kind of stupid thing like also sharing the moment that they share their story, confirm that they're invested in it and even at the point that you confirm it, it's probably best that you don't tell the whole truth, it would also help that you don't carry all your bitcoin in just one wallet so you avoid losing everything once one of your wallet gets compromised.

What would you say is the most safe tool to use if I want to communicate sensitive information to someone with my voice?

I don't know anything specific for voice only. But, telegram is not bad if you want to send voice messages. But, if you want to frequently write text messages, you may try PGP encryption if you want. You can encrypt voice files as well if you want. I have a couple of tutorials about PGP encryptions and one of them has over twelve translations. You can check [Android Tutorial] PGP Signature - Encrypt/Decrypt message and this thread is available in 12 more languages. You can also check the Windows version Re: [Eng: Tutorial] PGP Signature - Encrypt/Decrypt message - Fingerprint and for Linux as well [Eng: Tutorial] PGP Signature - Encrypt/Decrypt message (Linux Only)

Bitcoin is just one of those things in life that involve a lot of sensitive information that needs to be kept from the constant presence of adversaries.

The whole concept of bitcoin itself is built on the foundation of cryptography. A and B talking, with C knowing fuck-all.

To start your communication about Bitcoin, keep it simple like you are talking to kids.

Use simple examples to describe about Bitcoin, its blockchain and use cases. If your friends, people who are listening to your speech, feel interested in, you can direct them to

@OC,

Thank you, these are great links. I was however talking about bitcoin in the literal sense,

not explaining bitcoin to a newcomer, novice, or intermediate.

This thread can also serve as discussion for best practices when verbally communicating bitcoin.

If the communication is somewhat asynchronous, you could get away with recording your voice, encrypting the file, and sending that.

Of course it is not super practical for a one to one communication. In that case, the best is to go to somewhere private, or where there probably isn't any device spying on you, say for example take a hike to a national park, or in the middle of a forest.

But the best of all is to not say you own Bitcoin.

You don't need to hide anything or make use of the best practice in talking about bitcoin, all you only have to make sure is to caution your mouth in such a way that when you're discussing bitcoin with someone, you don't made mention of your worth, wallet keys or seeds and any other sensitive information's that may implicate you and give others access to attack and steal your coins form you, the whole summary is about security and privacy which should be for you alone.

@peter

Yes, I know of whats app and telegram end to end encryption. There are still people that don't touch those tools with a 40 foot pole when discussing bitcoin though, and there has to be a reason for that.

I've read that Signal is really strong. What do you think?

Hello friends, I recently took blood tests at https://ways2well.com/get-started/comprehensive-blood-work to improve my health. Receiving the results from way2well not only gave me valuable knowledge about my health, but also strengthened my self-awareness. Now I know which aspects of my health need attention and I can safely recommend you to visit this site.

Lol what are you talking about? Are you being tasked to endorse that link or you just wanted to randomly post that everywhere?

Anyway to op there’s lots of messaging apps these days that have end to end encryption and you can send voice messages as well. If it’s call you want then I’d say pretty much any application will be safe with calls
