At least for me, yes.

If I was a narcissistic asshole like many of my former colleagues and some of my family members, I'd be bragging to everyone and their brother and driving around in a Lambo with a BITCOIN license plate.

But that's just not me. Can't do it. I don't need the ego stroking, and I'm way smarter than that with my money. Plus for OpSec reasons, I don't want anyone to know.

I've simply told family members that I'm early retired due to "good investing" and left it at that. They don't even know that I'm the wealthiest family member that there has ever been. They still idolize and worship the one uncle that's been in real estate his whole life, and who has gained and lost millions and is now broke and swamped with debt at the age of 75. His wife recently found out that he had secretly been taking out small equity loans against the house to give free money to his grown adult kids.  🤦 They went to sell the house recently, and he confessed to her that there was barely any equity left over after the sale. Now they have to majorly downsize, and their retirement is in jeopardy. 🤦🤦
