Unfortunately, some people who know I have bitcoin seem not to care for my opsec and will happily discuss the fact that I hold btc with anyone they feel like. Which is annoying, since I don't go around talking about anyone else's finances. So I am wondering how to address this issue. It didn't seem to matter many years ago that I had told a few of my friends about my btc holdings but now, at these prices, it's something I wish I hadn't done.
Anyone else in the same boat?
Pretty much everyone...
Yeah, I was discussing this with my gf the other day. She has family members that have told loads of other family members. It’s really irritating, I don’t want to be having to face questions like -
‘So how many bitcoin do you have’
‘What are they all worth’
‘When will you sell’
Mind your own damn business. I don’t ask to see your wages or bank statements, assholes.
This is why I made the decision from my very first purchase, to never tell any friends, family members, or colleagues that I own bitcoin.
I realized right away that nothing good would come of it: either they would spend the early years laughing at you because they think it's a scam, or spend later years pissed at you that you became rich (on a scam asset in their minds) and won't share the wealth with them.
Either way, you won't be admired for your brilliant investment, like you deserve to be.
