As trader or holder is bitcoin legal in your country how environmental friendly bitcoin is over there, this is for those country that are facing difficulty with bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. While leaving at home it's advisable to set an important app hidden if you think trading bitcoin or having them will lead you to great danger especially within my country where they suspect lots of boys to be internet fraudster.
In my country, trading and investing in Bitcoin is legal, but it's not accepted as a direct form of payment. We have legal platforms for cryptocurrency trading, and generally, police won't stop us to check if we hold crypto assets. However, we cannot currently use crypto for direct purchases.
What i experience last night made me to raised this topic so we can learn to secure our investment or be very mindful while moving with our smartphone at night it's very risky to lose one valuable asset at this point.
You're absolutely right, we need to prioritize securing our investments. Based on your experience, I think it's wise to either avoid installing crypto-related apps on your main phone or have a separate phone dedicated to cryptocurrency management. Minimizing carrying your crypto-holding phone when unnecessary, especially at night, is also a smart move. Honestly, I'm not sure I could stay calm and avoid looking suspicious if stopped and searched either hehe.
