How is bitcoin going to spread if no one wants to admit that they use bitcoin? You expect bitcoin to still have value if everyone is secret about it?
Something about human nature, not all advices would be adhered to. It doesn’t matter if they are good advices or a bad one. One must get to choose at some point, which one is more beneficial and rewarding to them and which is not.
That’s why we have early adopters and late adopters. Most persons in this era would want to consider themselves late adopters because, they only recently knew and came aboard Bitcoin using the price factor at this time as a reason for such but, time would tell just how early or late they’ve been with Bitcoin always appreciating on the long run.
While we would be concerned about our security and find that in privacy, once a word if off your lips to at least 2 persons, that’s hardly a secrete anymore. It doesn’t mean you would have to spill your guts to everyone and anyone, you must do so to a selected few that are enthusiastic towards learning and visionary in any new development. It still doesn’t mean you get to declare your holdings as a means to motivate, you build interest in the technology and what it could do or mean for the people who own them now and in the future.
When it’s sensitive, you get sensitive on how you handle its publicity too especially if you know you could be targeted.
