Recently, I came to read this news

https://protos.com/spanish-police-rescue-crypto-investor-kidnapped-on-holiday/

The first thing that came to my mind after reading this was that one should not talk about his crypto investments with strangers or friends as it can pose various risks. If you are active on forums like bitcointalk and involved in trades, you should not give information which can help others relate to your identity.
Besides the threats to security that comes with letting other people know you have a wad of money under bitcoin, you are also risking yourself from getting screwed over by your spouse or girlfriends if things went south and you guys get divorced. I read a story just a few weeks ago bout some guy losing out on his investments because his wife found out somehow that he has bitcoin investments, and even though he didn't really tell the wife of anything about it, he was caught thanks to financial statements and tax reports that don't make sense.

So yeah, if you want a happy life, keep your bitcoin investments to yourself, you'd save yourself from the peering eyes, and the people who would want to get a piece of your bitcoin pie, as well as legal problems in the future that may or may not arrive.
