Friendly reminder-Do NOT tell your boss, your coworkers, or any casual acquaintances about how much bitcoin you have

I know, especially if the prices rises, there is a desire to say "look at me, I'm so smart". I'm here to remind you that it's a very bad idea.

1. You tell your boss. Guess what? You don't need that raise. Dude you've got more money than me!
2. You tell your "friends". Be very, very careful expressing any wealth among people you think are "friends". I've learned this the hard way. If more than 3 people know, wrap that shit up. It can lead to heartache and resentment.
3. Safety-do you really think people thinking you are rich and can access the $ in your phone puts you in a safer or more dangerous place?
4. Your own ego. As bitcoin goes up, it creates wealth. Which leads to ego. Which leads to more spending and less working, generally too early. I want to tell you about 5 people I've met, one of them is me
