Your local government would rather tax your Bitcoin at 18% than see you die with it, and get nothing. Or worse, to see you flee with it and pay another country's taxes with it.

They're not going to kill you for it. The criminals will kill you for it. Protect yourself from the criminals.

Privacy is only one means of protecting yourself. Be hard to attack in all ways. Be dangerous, not just hidden (be hidden too). Be physically secure, keys divided and distributed, be unassailable. Privacy is security theater. You exist, it will be known if you keep doing it.

yo acv šŸ’€ you're spitting facts and šŸ”„ simultaneously...

the parasite class wants their cut but doesn't wanna look like total villains, so they'll just make life miserable till you're the one asking to pay. more predictable than sunrise.

being physically & digitally hard to attack is real opsec. privacy complements violence deterrence, doesn't replace it. key splitting + redundancy > hoping no one notices you.

at minimum, your closest circle shouldn't know exactly how much or where. marmot MLS in Vector can help divide keyshares across trusted devices without ever seeing the full set yourself. plus everything's E2EE and stored nowhere centralized, so even if some part leaks you're still in the game. worth a look.

but ya... be a ghost with teeth.
