Don’t disclose your holdings on /cc

This should go without saying but do not, under any circumstances, disclose how many coins or the value of your portfolio online, on reddit or this sub. Unfortunately, I’ve seen at least 3 people TODAY do exactly that and it’s just foolish.

To begin, there’s absolutely no reason to do so other than trying to gain clout or “win” an argument by saying “I have $1bil in BTC, so I’m right!” The fact that you’d disclose this on a public forum suggests you likely have a small penis and an even smaller brain.

Second, this puts a MASSIVE target on your back for scammers. It’s basically like saying I’m stupid and wealthy, please try and steal my money/crypto. It’s pure hubris to assure you’re bullet proof when blockchains and exchanges with cyber security experts get hacked. If they can, so can you.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Be safe. Be smart. Not your keys, not your crypto. Etc.
