None of this other than the sticker on your car has anything to do with what I am getting at. The sticker though tells criminals something, and as such can follow you home. Do what you want, I really dont care. But 'wrench attacks' and kidnappings over btc or any other crypto dont happen to people who dont advertise for the world to see. They happen to people who need to show off for strangers. Make yourself a target, and things can happen. You may not like it, but its reality. So, ignore reality to your own detriment.

I guess my question is: in terms of becoming a target, what’s the difference between putting a sticker and on your shop window advertising you accept btc, and putting a sticker on your truck?
One is a “stupid” action while the other is absolutely reasonable, but don’t they both equally make you a target?
Ok this is good point you bring up. Businesses have cash and inventory, yet most never ever are robbed. So a sign saying it accepts btc isnt gonna change that. And everyone knows all businesses have video surveillance. Whereas a person can be followed to whereever the criminal feels safe attacking. And, your btc sticker car will eventually be at your home, letting any would be attacker know where you live. Im sure you have heard of peoples' homes being robbed after posting expensive christmas gift photos online. Yet, how often is say, a Walmart, that has those same items, robbed? I really dont have a perfect answer. And everyone's situation is different. But I just think people would do well to not advertise certain things. Especially online. That's more what I was getting at then a sticker on a car or shirt or whatever. Online you have not only run of the mill criminals, but also government agents. But basically, you (or whoever) has to decide what is best for you. Im just offering suggestions that can possibly save people serious troubles.
