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.

Yeah it’s suddenly started for me. People asking how many I have, including teen kids of friends. I don’t tell them of course but still.

Good thing was, when we started extending the house, bitcoin price was sub $10k, so it's absolutely plausible that i had to sell all my corn to pay for work and material.
So, i'd recommend you to think a bit about your "exit story" and do some rehearsals with your wife and/or kids.

I promised one of my kids a fraction of btc sometime back as a reward for doing something. Better fulfill that promise before that fraction exceeds yearly gift limits. The "danger" is that kid would brag to friends.
I remember jbreher giving whole btcs to his relatives on their bd. Not possible these days without filling some tax forms. In US, we can only give up to $15K/person/year without filling forms.
