A friend of mine who we started this crypto race together over trusted his security agency friend by telling him about how he is being Invested on Bitcoin and how he makes daily profits on trading and while that of investment is set for his retirement, the trading provides him the regular expenses.
I asked but why being so transparent to this guy? He said... He is my childhood friend and he has always been there for me when I have issues that has to be resolved my an official or agencies from the State or federal level.
He further said he told him about his engagement on Bitcoin just in case he has a query in that the public or even the security agencies do figures people who participates on Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are suspicion of being scam.
So he (my friend) was like an already made an open entry statement about his engagement with crypto on or before (just in case) he is being probed of illegality so, his friend can always stand to defend him after early notice.

To me, he exposed himself to danger because if we can trust someone for not to had hurt us all the while, some other problems we might encounter in other form might be projected by that same looking innocent friend while the act is being carried by another person and still, that your friend will pretend standing by you while extracting informations from you.
Same time he will be feeding it to the "pawn" or "fall guy" and that means, victimizing you will be easier for them preferably the friend.

So we can imagine if that agency friend decides to compromise the trust, I guess he can easily get his friend on trap if not physically attack to steal his funds, can as well target on scamming him in an undisclosed friendly strategy.
Moreover Bitcoin is not illegal in my country which I think was unnecessary of my friend exposing his alignment with Bitcoin rather scamming is just being too rampant which as the course of online scamming, digital investors are sighted as one of the scammers especially involved with decentralized crypto Blockchains.

At this juncture, I want us to look at the potential risk by which this my friend has come to expose himself.
Or is there a smart move of him you can commend of him on that?
