Keeping your mouth shut is one of the most important ways to protect one's privacy, aside from keeping your private keys and phrases safe from the eyes of others.
Some of the theft cases that I have read online are due to how lousy the holder is, which attracts people to either set hacking traps or physical attack robbing.
If some people can learn how to keep their mouths shut, their chances of protection for their holdings will increase.
I honestly agree. You will secure more your privacy and anonymity if you keep your mouth shut constantly. Don’t be too trusting to other people and share them important details, that will only put yourself at risk. And always stay low key. Don’t tell people your crypto success, but only keep it to yourself. Focus on your own growth and progress by constantly educating yourself, that will establish your bright future ahead of you.
It is not always easy to distrust friends, relatives... some people are more suspicious, but others are too trusting and don't see evil in others. On the other hand, some people need to to draw attention to their person and their successes (narcissistics and people with low self-esteem (although aren't them the same?)).
So, if you have cryptos, better think about it twice before opening your mouth. You have almost nothing to win, but too much to lose.
Getting a family member, friend, or relative to trust some information is very hard, but in some cases we still have to take the risk of doing so. One just has to limit the number of ears they disclose such information to in order to also limit the number of people they suspect when things go sideways.
If not that, at some level, one just needs to share their crypto holding information with either their spouse or child in case of emergence. I completely like the idea of remaining anonymous and private about one's holdings.
