In my own opinion,I think if crypto wasn't involved,the employee wouldn't have lost his job.I think the major reason why he was fired was the fact that he made it known to his colleagues that his into crypto gambling games which happens to be illegal,most of our colleagues are just waiting for the slightest mistake to bring about our downfall,so I believe he must have told his colleagues otherwise nobody would have known about his crypto game lifestyle.And the worst part of it all is his job doesn't work hand in hand with crypto transactions.

When I was reading the news I came across the phrase " Habitual gambler", meaning playing crypto games was part of his habit regardless his work hours,but the ex-employee disagreed that he isn't a habitual gambler and his appeal was rejected.If that should be the case,how was he then caught,no one knows or maybe it could be the first reason I gave.To me this is total bullshit.

This reminds me of another valuable point in opsec, that basically it is much better to not say what you have.

It brings you no positive, and if the value of Bitcoin goes through the roof, then there could be bad consequences.

Most people buy and sell with 10% of difference in price or so. Most don't hodl. They don't understand Bitcoin.

In terms of bad consequences, it seems to me that this can really happen. There is more and more talk about the code being cracked using the latest quantum computers. This is probably a serious danger for Bitcoin as a whole, given the extremely negative attitude towards cryptocurrencies from traditional financial systems. So such a scenario clearly has a non-zero probability.

As for limited information to competing employees at work, it is obvious that the less they know about the employee, the better protected he is from all sorts of mean actions on the part of bosses or competing employees. Therefore, of course, you need to think carefully about what you should tell your work colleagues about your personal life, and what you definitely shouldn’t. By the way, in my opinion, you shouldn’t tell information about your passion for cryptocurrency under any circumstances, as well as about your financial situation and ownership of real estate, investments or stock packages.
