The issue of physical safety for BTC or cryptocurrency hodlers has been debated many times on the forum, and following several kidnappings of crypto influencers' relatives in France (but these kidnappings obviously also occur in other countries), how can btc influencers ensure their safety and that of their loved ones?

How can they both have visibility AND ensure their safety?

Best way to stay safe as a bitcoiner, most especially if you are one of those who have made a lot of money and is well known, best way to stay safe and also keep your family safe is to live a really low key lifestyle, avoid letting people around you know that you are into bitcoin and so, avoid letting people around you know or be able to accurately guess your worth, avoid places that forces you to show who you really are, and again, keep your physical identity away from the internet.

Amongst all that I've said, the most important is to live a lowkey lifestyle, avoid show offs, many who made money have with their own hands brought early death upon themselves simply because of the type of lifestyle they decided to live, lavish and rough lifestyle must be avoided for anyone who wish to stay safe even as a bitcoiner.

Many people earn a lot not so much for the amount itself, the currency doesn’t matter, but to prove something to themselves or to others, and showing off wealth often becomes a way to compensate for inner anxiety. However, when you truly have the means, it is important to use them wisely and not turn life into a performance, because financial freedom was created precisely for the sake of conscious choice and true personal freedom.
