A very important and often overlooked measure in securing your bitcoin is keeping your bitcoin related activity secret. If my bitcoin were being held in an insured vault requiring my identification to move it than this wouldn't be such an issue. You are your own bank, you can hang a sign around your neck and advertise it, I wouldn't advise it.

Imagine if you buy a Bitcoin today, go public with your identity then Bitcoin coupled with the inflation of USD becomes worth 10k, 100k, one mill, your head will become more and more profitable yet your identity will be set in stone to roll back and retrieve.
