Buying crypto is exciting – but please keep the amounts you accumulate private!

Decided to make a post because I keep seeing this kind of thing in the sub at the moment.

"I just bought my first whole ETH"

"I just spent $10k on ADA"

"Thanks to the dip I nearly have a whole BTC"

etc. etc.

For your own safety please do not publicly share the value of your portfolio or any assets within it.

Look, I know it's exciting when you reach a personal milestone (e.g. 1ETH) but trust me, nobody in here cares about it as much as you do (apart from the folks who'd like to take it off you).

There are scammers and thieves everywhere. Declaring that you might be a worthwhile target is foolish. It's a bit like wearing a fancy watch in a high crime area. You'll probably be fine, but you are a little bit more likely to be mugged at knifepoint. Why risk it?

Stay safe out there folks. Be very careful about the info you share online.
