thanks! and these two are some of my freshly tested hacks 👀 I found it funny when I rereading them

For the careful ones

Set your phone in a language that the locals can't understand.
Remove all Bitcoin-related wallets from home screen.
Purposely make your phone dead when crossing the border.

For the paranoid ones

Close all LN channels, delete ALL Bitcoin-related apps even with a factory reset, and download some normies apps.
Simply keep your phone at home and bring a dummy phone for travel.

Those are good.

Have you ever used a decoy cash wallet? That was a travel tip I picked up from either Jim Rogers or Doug Casey. Basically, have a wallet with expired credit cards and high denomination, but low value, foreign currency. That way, if you get robbed, you have something to hand over that won't actually lose you anything.

that's a good one too! but I don't keep much money on the bank cards. 👀✌🏽 there was one time when someone riding a motorbike tried to rob me in Cambodia while I was walking, but he failed, crazy time!

So, your real wallet is also a decoy wallet? That's next level travel security!
