Bitcoin security isn’t just about using strong passwords or keeping your coins in a hardware wallet. It’s also about what you share online—and who’s paying attention.

Oversharing, even casually, can make you a target. Mentioning your holdings in a tweet, dropping screenshots in a chat, or linking your identity to a wallet address might seem harmless, but these small details can add up quickly for someone looking to exploit them.

You don’t need to be rich or well-known to attract attention—just visible.
Crypto-related conversations are often monitored by scammers and bad actors using automated tools and social engineering tactics. They look for patterns: usernames, reused handles, public transactions, or comments that hint at ownership.

To protect yourself:

• Be discreet about your Bitcoin activity in public or semi-public spaces.
• Avoid linking your real identity to wallets, exchanges, or transaction data.
• Use pseudonyms where possible and compartmentalize your crypto life from your personal identity.
• Stay informed about phishing, social engineering, and other common attack methods.

In the Bitcoin world, privacy is a layer of security.
Take time to understand how to secure not just your assets, but your digital footprint. A few smart habits today can protect your wealth—and your personal safety—tomorrow.
