Lately, I’ve been seeing posts on X about attacks on Bitcoiners aimed at stealing their wallets; in the process, their family members get hurt, and some even lose their lives. I don’t know if all these reports are fake or just some of them, since the sources can't always be verified. I urge all Stackers to keep a low profile and not go around bragging about owning BTC—whether it’s a little or a lot. Be careful about the sites you visit and the information you share, as that can lead people to your home and result in a dangerous situation. Providing your home address when buying a wallet is another bad practice; it’s better to use an alternative address (like a P.O. box or parcel locker) so you can't be linked to the purchase. I’m sharing these tips out of concern for my fellow Stackers. There isn't this kind of violence against Bitcoiners in the country where I live, and I hope it never comes here!
I don't mean to scare anyone; I am simply sharing a concern, and I am sure some will appreciate it. I hope you share tips on best practices for protecting our privacy, both online and in real life.

I believe that life is more important than money, just as the safety of our family members is.

Be very careful friends, remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, do not trust anyone, discretion is the key to success.

Hahahaha... you illustrated my words in a biblical way... but it’s perfectly clear.

Yeah, family comes first. BTC isn’t worth risking your safety over.

We feel the same way; there will be time and opportunity to accumulate more BTC.
