I think this my newly investor friend was out of pride and just wanted to make this other guy feel regret but does not know the dangerous implications he has just made upon himself and his Bitcoin assets.
It is unfortunate for investors who lives this life of proving themselves to people just to make them believe on their investment.
Because he was new so he didn't really understand that there had to be a secret about the assets he had in cryptocurrency otherwise something like this would happen
This Crypto Investor Lost Nearly $4M in Ethereum (ETH) to Armed Robbers And it should be your duty to tell him everything if you want to become an investor in cryptocurrency, not only about the profits you will get but also how to secure your assets properly so that they are not lost because you store them incorrectly.
Lack of knowledge can put investors in danger, not only can they become the target of crime but they can also lose their assets because they are hacked, so investors must understand everything well if they want to enjoy the benefits of being an investor later.
Yes, you should try to keep the security at all time high, and should keep your name out of public knowledge. I have never told anyone how much bitcoin I have, to be fair even if the whole world knew how much I have, it would be stupid to try to rob me because I have so few lol, but in the end I still do keep it hidden, just in case.
People have done much worse for just a few hundred dollars in some parts of the world, so it is not really something that I would consider as an issue, we should try to continue and avoid getting in danger. These days people try to be "brave", but they do not realize the difference between brave and stupid, publicly showing how much you have isn't brave, that is just plain old stupid.
