Private Key is like your vault with lots of money, so don't ever try to share it with your friends or even strangers. just show to the one who you trust with.. e.g family or love ones

Quickly send your BTC to a new BTC address which private key is not posted anyway. Once you expose your private key, someone else can access your BTC wallet and take your BTC.

It was a big mistake, don't post your private key in the public place but if your wallet is empty, it is okay! Make a new one then jot it down or save it to your laptops or any something private. The private key is very important and it will remain secret, you only own your private key so should be careful about keeping this. This is the same of keeping your money in a real wallet.

It won't be a "private key" if it's not private right? Of course there is a 99.99% chance that you will not be able to see your coins in your wallet if someone else is using it already and expect it to be stolen.

Say goodbye to your tokens or btc if your wallet has balance, if you dont have any balance on your wallet and you accidentally shared it in public its alright. Your private is your only access to login on your wallet,as long as nobody knows it your bitcoins are safe. October 03, 2017, 10:17:33 AM

If this is your admission, many people will see it. Doing so quickly is to transfer all your funds to that wallet because they will have access to it and they can steal your tokens. So we need to take care of every move so that's not going to happen

Eventually, you will if they know what are those. Make sure you make onother one when you lost or made it public accidentally.

Here's an example.
Sometimes people here fill in bounty spreadsheets, or a list for an airdrop etc.
Recently someone joined a project (forgot which one it was) and accidentally pasted his privkey in the sheet instead of his eth address.
By the time he noticed all his eth was gone.

If your private key has been discovered by others it is certain that they will have access to your wallet. And tokens may be stolen in your wallet. That's what you should keep in mind. You should not give that information to anyone. Because they will have access to your wallet

“If you don't own your private key, you don't own your bitcoins.”
Here's the quote of Andreas M. Antonopoulos;
Quote
“The private key must remain secret at all times because revealing it to third parties is equivalent to giving them control over the bitcoins secured by that key. The private key must also be backed up and protected from accidental loss, because if it’s lost it cannot be recovered and the funds secured by it are forever lost, too.”
