For those in the #Bitcoin space that are a known person or maybe even just have your faces online, how do you protect yourself against any physical/digital attacks? How do you feel comfortable sharing/talking about #Bitcoin? @walker @preston @Lyn Alden @ODELL @Jameson Lopp @jack @miles ๐ŸŒž @Derek Ross @Alekandar Svetski @Guy Swann @jb55 @HODL @hodlbod @BTC Sessions @Jeff Booth @jack mallers @Vitor Pamplona @miljan @Max DeMarco

I am American, so I have guns. I also have axes, machetes, swords, various bludgeoning weapons, and knives just in case. I also have Walker and Texas Ranger. Walker is my left fist, Texas Ranger is my right.
The key is to set up your house so you can John Wick rampage your way through, pulling new weapons out of concealment along your rampage.
My family and extended family are already heavily armed, but if your family is not yet armed, get them guns for Christmas. Everyone loves a new boom boom stick under the Christmas tree.
Axes are a great home defense complement to guns. Axes can be easily wielded with one hand or thrown if the need arises (but make sure you have backup axes stashed at various places around your house). I recommend at least three axes per floor of your house. Follow me for more axe advice.
As a Bitcoiner Iโ€™m much much more worried about cyber attack than I am about physical attacks. Now that things are so easily automated, Iโ€™m basically under constant cyber threat that never abates.
I have fixed blade knives all over the house lol my wife is always finding knives. Thereโ€™s probably 30+ all over the house in addition to the many many firearms lol ๐Ÿ˜‚
Not enough people are talking about the benefits of a solid dual portcullis/hot oil set up in your home. Put a decoy wallet just past the first portcullis then BAM, drop both to trap the invader then pour the oil at your leisure. Pro tip: use seed oils to make the invader extremely unhealthy prior to their demise.

got myself a deagle yesterday, want to put a scope on it and go hunting with it just to be that guy
Lots of different methods. But the big thing is this. Isolation is key. Many Different devices/accounts for different functions etc

I'm remembering me and my brother when we were teenagers... If there were easily access axes at home, one of us wouldn't be here today. Or maybe missing parts... Hope you take it in consideration if/when you have teenagers at home. You can get rid of the axes, or just buy spare toys and chocolate. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
Only have access to a small stack on your person or in your home. This has the benefit of protecting others, because if this is the norm, then there is no point in a physical attack. Hide part of your recovery (multisig) in a jewellery box in a safety deposit box, or somewhere secure that someone can't take you to with a gun to your head. The people who are most keen to see the price rise, and are the most vocal advocates, went in at 58k last cycle and need to see it keep going up.
I feel as if you must remain guarded, unless you feel 100% sure your audience has your best interests at heart. Satoshi was brilliant in his anonymity. Can you imagine if he had not, what danger would ever be upon his and his familyโ€™s doorstep? I love the courage, legendary leadership, and bold profile of our trailblazers, and yet I harbor concern for them also. But no one set sail for anywhere by standing upon the shoreline.
Depends on the situation and the attacker. If its a common thief/gang who wants to steal your coins, then privacy and anonymity are the prudent approach that will better protect you and your family. If its the govt, then being public and open is the safer approach, otherwise you are only hiding from the public who would support you. However, in any situation you should be armed, trained, have a security system with cameras, and have dogs, imo.
im armed to the teeth and my property is surrounded by minefield
