Due to the increased attacks on cryptocurrency holders in many parts of the world, I'm beginning to have a change of mind about telling people my activities especially with bitcoin. Bitcoin was created for P2P purposes so I will try to keep it that way for my safety because money changes people. Before we had the passion of telling people about bitcoin, we even shared that knowledge on social media but now I don't see myself doing that because of the risk it portends.
I've been in this bitcoin community for a long time despite this I still feel very much uncomfortable engaging in very private conversation about Bitcoin particularly when it's relates to my bitcoin holding. I could join in when the conversation is about a general news but I do not try to individualize it to myself because you never know who has something against you and it's looking for a means to steal what you have.
We should always observe limitation of how we engage on Bitcoin discussion with the public because to my most experience about people being physically attacked in respect of their digital assets are those who made it clear to persons that they invested in Bitcoin or publicly known to be playing a role in the cryptography space.
We should have learnt enough that this is decentralized Blockchain here that even your relative or someone you trust can change by betraying and leaves you untraceable and still maintains unsuspecion beyond your thoughts.
There is a lot of attractive influence in anything related to funds carrying convinceable contents enough for one you tested and trusted years back to breach your trusts.
I am either not against engaging on Bitcoin discussion in the public but as much as we can always keep our holdings privately with a due process where the government is not against it and you are sure of acquiring your assets in a legit process, then I don't see reason of telling it to others for backup sake like you are trying to inform the government that you are a Bitcoin investor trying to prove your clean mindedness as that of my friend experience with his friend.
And While we also advocates for this anonymous holding of our digital assets, it is still worth telling a trusted one about it and even if it worth entrusting our seed phrase to them, so be it because no one knows tomorrow as life and death may as well be inevitable.
And I hope non of us want to own and orphan wallet at this course but with best of regards, anyone taking the step is highily on his or her own risk.
Note: We are humans that even if we don't push forward to execute our dirt mindedness, there is always that Which glitters like a golden opportunity for us which might ignite us unresistable and then, we might be push forth to take chances of the opportunity.
(Money the root of all evil that we all can not deny going for it)
