That's why I feel uneasy about orange-pilling my friends. It exposes me as an early adopter.
And the more I emphasize the importance of self-custody, good opsec etc. or show maxi traits, the more it exposes me as someone who potentially owns a lot of BTC (which I don't).

I imagine business owners may feel similar about accepting bitcoin payments.
This may slow down adoption.

Regarding "Never EVER say how much bitcoin you have" - it's crazy how people will ask you how much bitcoin you have. These are people who would never dream of asking how much money you have.

Some thoughts on the game theory that results from btc wealth

elvismercury

Some tips.

1. Never EVER say how much bitcoin you have. To absolutely no-one. Be prepared for people around you asking it. If nobody knows how much you have, it becomes difficult to steal it.
2. Relocate to a non-western country.
3. Don't flash wealth, be humble. Keep bargaining and be aware of prices and talk about it with people around you. It repels criminals.
4. If you are a possible target: carry a paper explanation of how your bitcoins are stored in multisig in different countries, with time-locks and all. Hand it over to kidnappers or thiefs.
5. If you have kids, time locks are probably the best solution, but this is a vulnerability. I would be nervous about it if I were a famous bitcoiner.
