You did a good job diving into what should people be doing in order to protect themselves however simply put, I think we should just avoid telling anyone that we do hold some coins. Don’t go around telling everyone and anyone about cryptocurrencies especially to strangers. Don’t be posting it on the internet either. Don’t post any personal information that can point to where you live, where you work, etc.
