I have seen lot of suspected dreaded to be Yahoo boys who had made lot of monies and influences the societies, so I have seen some of them who haven't achieved a dime at their space of fraudulents but yet they also tries to displays such Influential being as those of them that has made Money.
These set of unprofitted fraudsters lives t set confusions in the surroundings whereas the both categories of who had made it and who haven't made it can't be decided accorded to their way of doings in the public.
I sometimes admires them but fraudulent is not a thing of me but since I know about the potential enrichment of Bitcoin, I decided to adopt and accept being one of the investors too which I approach one of a friend who is a profitable Bitcoin investor to help and guide me through which he gave me some sorts of basic knowledges but I want to talk about the part he say that "he doesn't want to be publicly known as a Bitcoin dealer that if not of me he would play adamant like he knows nothing about Bitcoin".
He insighted to me that Bitcoin is not an illegal innovated technology, but due to its highest level of global recognition with its potential of enrichment and to stand against the bad time of global falling economy, the public would always have the Bitcoin dealers in both trading and Investing as a cool good rich dude and such in an unsecured societies is believed to being exposed to insecurities within the residence. So it is always better off to stay anonymous while standing firm on your Bitcoin journey.
Just in few days ago, I was on a bar with a friend where I saw a Forex Trader loudly talking about how he usually makes over $1,400 in an hour and could make over $4,000 profits on daily basis. He was saying this like he was bragging about it and I admired him just like informally admired those Yahoo guys. In no time, some guys behind brought out a phone and made their mathematical calculation and said within themselves that " wow this guy must be a millionaire and looking so exposed and simple like this, he is just lucky we are not one of those bad guys else we would have him kidnaped and demand a ransom of #30,000,000"
It was then I thought about what that of my Bitcoineers friend told be able the risk of being exposed with ones identify of a Bitcoin investor.
I have accepted the situation to be an experience to keep your business secretive if possible and keep your net worth a private or if must be discussed, must be an indoor and must be just with that of some business partners else ones is enclaved with an envelope of dangers.
Op is better to avoid yourself from people who does fraud for a living or even interacting with the because scammer can take your life since he can take all your life savings.
To be an investor is better than being a fraudster because you earn by taking a high risk of investing what you got, not by stealing something that does not belong to you.
As you hv said try to be a private person by not showing what you got or what you chasing just try to be low-key grinder
