Exactly it is very dangerous to share your financial information with your stream as it makes you target of fraud. Very concrete example of this is one streamer who was robbed at home, at gun point, because he showed cryptocurrency online. Far more prudent and clever way that streamers can go about it is to talk about their analysis and trading suggestions without providing information on amount of money they actually possess. Instead of demonstrating their holdings, streamer can simply teach viewers how to trade, which would culminate in large quantity of educational information and strong line of trust instead of putting themselves in potentially dangerous situation. This is one of most important things that anyone into creation of content in crypto needs to learn to guard themselves against.
Thanks for agreeing with me, and the majority of the members agree as well because we all must have been in a situation like this because that's the only way we understand it better, although it is not necassary. Like I faced not a serious threat but someone whom I was teaching about airdrops told in the barber shop that I invested money in BTC in 2018, which was not correct even because I did not invested in BTC until 2022 I think or maybe 2023, well,  one person took it seriously in the shop, he also spent time in jail and he knew about BTC, and he asked me even after that.

I was terrified he'd do anything, but I had to confront him with the truth, and when I told him that I didn't know anything about BTC in 2018, he cut me off and said, "Then why would you be here?" Haha.I was like, "So where would I be?

Well, I have shared this story at least two or three times now, and it always comes back to haunt me, so I would never tell anyone about my portfolio, even if I have just $10 in it, haha.
