The more I wrap my head around the true value of BTC,
the more I feel like I shouldn't tell anyone I own any BTC.

I think this is the key distinction between us and them. We have skin in the game. Embrace it.
Go full psycho. Seed signer off the shelf, verify, make wallet with passphrase, create address, send stack, destroy seed signer, seed on steel, passphrase only you and missus. Bury steel somewhere. Buy ledger, stick some sats on it, write seed down and “hide” it. Job done
I like this plan!
That really is next level psycho. I haven’t personally gone to that level but remember passphrases and sacrificial wallets. Wrench attacks are only gonna get worse for a while. Create “easy” honey pots and have a good strategy or go multi sig
Also, rule 1 of cryptography is never roll your own crypo. nostr:nprofile1qqs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpspz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsk59z6d Is a good starting place.
This may well be the reason that PlanB just announced he's moving all his BTC into ETFs
At the end of the Bitcoin rabbit hole - you will discover Monero.
Missing privacy is Bitcoins fatal flaw.
Never talk about your Bitcoin. I don’t talk about it in public anymore. Either you figure it out on your own or you don’t.

You certainly should very very carefully think about who you will tell it.
The urge to talk constantly about Bitcoin while simultaneously wanting to say you sold it all because you think it's going to 58k.
The hardest lesson to learn with Bitcoin is knowing when to STFU.
first rule of fight club
how to stay safe on NOSTR, meaning, how to make sure I do not disclose my real life identity? (for privacy and safety reasons, as, even talking about Bitcoin may imply for a criminal that I have some)
I guess:
1. do not share information about yourself (which could allow others to identify you)
2. use VPN (to make it harder to see from which IP address you posted something, which could disclose your location or even identity)
3. do not use a lightning address that is custodial and KYC-ed (as the custodian knows your identify so it could be traced back)
Does that make sense?
What else?
