So what do you recommend to say when close friends and family ask?

The first rule of bitcoin is don't talk about the size of your stack

Precisely.

Nosy uncle: how much of those bitcoins do you have then?

- Not enough.

Ask them to show you their bank accounts then you'll show them your wallets.

You say you don't have enough.

I also tell people who ask, that I view their question the same as asking them how many dollars they have in their bank account.

“What’s bitcoin?”

Most grownups don’t ask questions like how much do you make?

I feel like this is the same caliber of question.

“trading to grow my stack”

Trust no one.

Tell them you had to sell everything to pay debt

Tell them Bitcoin is freedom, but, unfortunately, you did not take care of self governance and lost your keys.

If they have your address, for whatever reason (or you were a fool on googling your address) study CoinJoin or use lightning network to make your coins “vanish” into a new wallet address and tell them you got hacked

There’s one person that needs to know if you have bitcoin: you.

There’s only one being that needs to know exactly how much you have: God.

🎯

I’ll discuss my cost average but i wont even tell my family how much of it I own.

Wife excluded but she’s more careful than I am.

🧡👊🏻🍻

no good can come of it. friends and family do ask...

My dad asked when I told my folks about what I'd done with Bitcoin.

I told him that you don't ask people that. To his credit, he didn't persist.

One case were size doesn’t matter just the want and need to buy more..

Great advice 🎯

I made the mistake of telling a couple of friend and the same happened, they ignored it because to be hones is not even much.

But I know that when BTC goes to 100 M I will have the same regrets as you guys.

my advice: keep stacking and tell everyone you sold it all 🤝

never tell anyone how many bitcoin you have

Strengthen your OPSEC and tell your parents, who told you when you were younger, that you don't talk about how much money someone has or doesn't have.

Stealth is wealth. Think “operational security”

I made the same mistake also with my father early on suddenly everyone reached out asking, I fixed it by telling him later “I dumped all my Bitcoin, I found out that it's a scam”
