Recently, the 'big internet celebrity blue war non-binding' incident once again reminds people in the cryptocurrency circle to pay attention to safety.
Robberies or home invasions targeting individuals in the cryptocurrency space have occurred in places like Karachi, Bali, and the United States. For example, in November 2025, a home invasion took place in Silicon Valley: Sam Altman's ex-boyfriend Lachy Groom was invaded by armed assailants at his home in San Francisco, leading to the theft of approximately $11 million worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum. These cases illustrate that once one's identity is exposed, even if the wealth is not entirely real, one may still become a target, resulting in property loss and psychological trauma.
For practitioners, investors, or KOLs in the cryptocurrency space, safety must come first. Here are a few suggestions for reference:
1. Avoid wearing attire or accessories with cryptocurrency logos.
Exchanges and project parties often distribute clothing or items with logos as benefits or symbols of identity. While wearing them may showcase status or affiliation, in areas with complex security situations, these 'labels' may attract trouble. Being low-key is safer than showing off.
2. Control social exposure.
Sharing accomplishments, assets, or luxury homes and cars can easily make one a target. Be cautious when sharing personal information, especially in unfamiliar environments or with strangers, as this can effectively reduce risks.
3. Travel discreetly.
When going abroad or to areas with poor security, avoid revealing identity, whereabouts, and financial information. Safety is always more important than showing off.
4. Establish a sense of concealment.
Set a 'safety threshold' for yourself:
- Do not display large assets or transaction information;
- Avoid wearing clothing with prominent cryptocurrency logos;
- Be cautious when disclosing whereabouts or residences;
- Remember, what you expose is not just wealth, but also safety and freedom.
5. Safety first, development second.
When pursuing fans, promotion, and community influence, do not overlook basic risk control. As the saying goes: 'A cautious sailor sails for a thousand years'; being prudent not only protects oneself but also contributes to community safety.
In summary, opportunities and risks coexist in the cryptocurrency space. While maintaining enthusiasm and creativity, it is essential to be low-key and cautious, control exposure, prioritize safety before development, so that one can walk steadily and go far.
