It is not 'living in fear' to take a common sense measure to preserve your financial privacy.
Wanting financial privacy is legitimate, appropriate, expected and essential to making free decisions.
You should take whatever precautions you feel are necessary. I just think in a world of hyperbitcoinization, it’s going to be awfully obvious that if you’re rich you have some the way it is with fiat now.
The better bet IMO is to normalize people of disparate means living together harmoniously rather than the communist premise that it’s impossible which all the hiding buys into.
I think you should be allowed to hide it, but I think long term it’s the weaker ethos and the path of more rather than less robberies and extortions.
