What does privacy mean to you?

[sotelorene]

Exactly as the title says, "What does privacy mean to you?" Of course, a lot of us claim that we are privacy lovers and we support privacy, but to an extent, some people have taken privacy very seriously, which is one thing I commend very much.
 
I have been touring around this forum, and I see a lot of comments from some people regarding how careful they are with their assets (bitcoin); their seed phrases and private keys are so private to them that they do not share them with anyone, but that brought me to this question: Are people really aware of unforeseen circumstances? What if something happens to you? Who will be able to handle your assets when you're no longer there? and the question usually ends up with people speaking of inheritance and not the exact thing I wanted to hear.
For instance, someone said he doesn't trust anyone to tell them his private key or anything close to his assets, but how do you all conceive this message?
 
How can one be in a relationship (wife and children) if you cannot trust anyone in your family to the extent of telling them anything about your investment? This got me worried; hence I decided we should discuss it here. I know weird relationships exist, but is it to this extent?

Me personally I do share my logins and some other details to my siblings mostly in a case whereby I have to do something that requires login to my wallet or account and then I am so busy I will simply tell them my logins and tell them what to do but it is not like I will go and write it down and give them to keep, it is not safe because they can misplaced it and you know what that means. Now talking about trusting wife and children, you can trust your wife and children but one thing you suppose know be say wife and children can be very careless sometimes especially women and especially when they don't know about crypto and what could be the effect when the seed phrase is been exposed likewise to children too, so it is not about trust it is been careful.

Privacy is a form of self-care for anyone that what's to be at peace.Observing privacy at every aspect of one's Life is a vital feature and factor to embrace amidst all contradictions and pressure.

The moment u allow people to no some of the things that is bringing money to u, your wealth is at risk because dey will be looking for way to bring u down or steal money from u. If u want your peace to be forever, never u tell anybody your privacy because the moment dey discover your privacy dey will start misbehaving not to obey u.

Mind you, there's difference between Privacy and insecurity.Despite been scared or been too revealing, there's a level at which one should be confident and comfortable to share some sensitive information to family members or friends.And most I'm the case of marriage;open minded and honesty to your partner's should be richly acknowledged.

Insecurity can make people around u to no your seeds phrase because your house is a public place were people can enter at anytime and go out anytime, and whatever u keep in your house is not safe, but if you have privacy, people will not be going to your house without your permission which is what privacy can do to you.

Person wey no take privacy serious just dey play with fire. Because even the white boys dem dey advise us to take anonymity serious because even for forum here I no sharp to share some kind information because hackers full everywhere na when you loose guard small loose guard you go know say men day. Since I join this forum naim I understand the importance  of anonymity  especially when dealing with cryptocurrency or dealing with an international forum like this. Then when dealing with private keys and mnemonic seed e dey good to store your seed offline or for airgapped device, because  hackers fit just dey copy you screen and you fit no know sef as you loose guard your seed phrase for screen dem go sama you watin no nice and na cry go end am 😂

No matter what you do no ever share any personal news to anybody. Make dem just they see the success small small until everything mature. Because this life, person wey you know too well fit be the one wey go spoil something for you for future. My brother if they ask you weiting you they do just show them say you be content write as dem get content creators for tik tok.

There are a lot of posts on this forum about how we should protect our assets and not to share our private key and seed phrase with anyone, not even our loved ones. Even when I read about these things online, I always read that our seed is meant to be kept private, which leads me to have the same thought as you.

Are people really aware of unforeseen circumstances? What if something happens to you? Who will be able to handle your assets when you're no longer there?

I understand that every investor has a different motivation for investing, but I think the majority have been investing in Bitcoin in order to improve their family's situation. If you invest patiently for a long time and make significant profits while keeping your personal information private, and any unforseen circumstances occurred, then all of your hard work will been in vain leaving your family members with nothing IMO.

There is no way that every member of your family will turn to be your enemy, they must be someone you can trust to keep your secrets, such as your parents, son, or siblings. You don't have to tell them about your seeds, but you should tell them about your holding and, if you reap any profits make sure to show them love because that's the only way they can take their eyes off from the information you shared to them. If you try to be greedy, they will lose patience and begin to think negatively.

As the question goes what is privacy, these days I doubt if there is anymore privacy in our life anymore and I doubt if people take privacy very seriously. When it has to deal with privacy issues concerning assets and private keys this are something we have to be very careful with our investment. We all know life is unpredictable and the future is unknown, we can likewise handle this situation of private keys. We don’t have to necessarily tell our family or loved ones with this key or phrase . Because this days we find it very hard to have trust in people or our family members. But if there are people we have a guaranteed trust we can actually have this discussion with them, about our private life in case of emergency.

But if in a different situation and we don’t trust any of our family members, we can put this things in writing and possibly add it to our safe storage. Where in a situation this unforeseen circumstance happens our assets would not be lost. It can still be recovered by our family.

To me, privacy means protecting yourself. If you can't keep your privacy to yourself, anyone can interfere with your personal matters. I don't want anyone to talk about any of my personal matters. Just as there are many personal matters in real life, there are all kinds of accounts in the online world. I will prioritize my own safety first in any work.

Security is the most important thing in my life.

Life doesn't give us the foresight of what's next to happen and which makes it hard for me to think that I should be too extreme with my assets and investments that not even a single member of my family should have an iota of knowledge about key information that could lead to recovery of them should any uncertain circumstance happen to me in a flash.

Like, which is better. Not letting anyone of a family member (son, wife or daughter) have a clue about your keys location in case of sudden death and then lose it all eventually to your family or to have one trusted person on the know who can recover your assets in case of death. Let everybody choose.

Why get married to someone if you can't trust the person? But again, I don't blame this on our generation with the way they care so much about their privacy with their crypto holdings. Look around at the kind of family issues, divorce, and the rest of them going on in the internet, family betraying families as a result of wealth that someone holds, children turning against each other.

But then again, there is someone who should be trusted to discuss such matters with and share your holdings secrets with, even if they don't have access to it, but they will know about it, and then someone else will be entrusted with the private key, which both parties will only be aware of what they hold only when an emergency arises; that way, there could be some safety card at play.

Am not saying that we should be careless about our private life by not having secrets but the fact of the matter is that we should be able to trust people to disclose our private information to because I have seen people who die and their family members knows nothing about them in terms of properties because they where always secretive about them selves so when they die non of their family people where aware of what they own it's outside people that enjoys all their hard labors, trust is an issue but I am personally of the opinion that we should try and make sure that one person knows some of our secrets

I understand exactly what you mean ,and I also feel the same way. Honestly I don't believe in the type of privacy where I can't
Share important details to people or someone close to me whom I can trust.
I remember quite well as the first son of my family at age 12 my dad called and gave the bank details of every account he owns which after 14 years I'm still aware of . So he knew about unforseen circumstances, so he shared important details with his next of kin and even his wife.
Although he is still alive but I don't see why I shouldn't follow in his footsteps.

True, but people most people believe say them no suppose share their privacy with anybody even if it’s their relatives, they are determined not to share it, even at the point of death and these people end up suffering the lives of their relatives, with the mindset that everyone should work for themselves to make name and not to depend on their own, while some people, best reason known to them.
But most of them are not to be blamed, maybe they did that by keeping their privacy to themselves for their benefit and also for the benefit of others as well, only God can tell but it’s advisable to always have whim you trust even if it’s not so much but you can always count on them.

I feel that that most times as humans will never can tell when the time comes so we most always do the needful atleast not all your family should no about your wealth of digital assets, maybe your next of kin or your wife if not married your close sister or brother or been written down in a piece of paper, people having trust issue with there family  is not worth it, well from experience my boss had just pass on and his family didn't have any ideas about his assets which to me I find a very foolish act because last if u no give ur family the banks might help you to invest well for there own personal gain which you are still on the losing side.

Everything is changing over time especially People's faith in humanity is declining. We used to listen to the story to Grandfather grandmother that at one time, people had a lot of faith and evaluation A wealthy person gives a poor person a responsibility, or when discussing something The poor person did not express it to anyone in any way And there was no falsehood in their words But in today's social system, you cannot believe any human family from neighboring neighborhoods, because people have not faith in people and do not feel courtesy.

You may be one of the hundreds of people as a good moral person It is a matter of concern to whom you will hand over the wealth you have earned. If the wealth acquired in the hardships of your life is not in the hands of a qualified person after your death, then the family will not take long for the destruction. So Considering that your money does not have abuse in your unexpected life, you need to take a procedure to protect your wealth so that the wealth is distributed among the family properly.

Inasmuch as you’re not completely wrong, the fact still remains that you may really not know the true intent of anyone, including the ones you call family. So to be on the safest side, and to make sure that your wealth is only distributed according to how you want it, only when you’re no more, the best thing to do is to get a lawyer and a trusted one at that, since he’ll be the one to be in charge of your will, you could also let him have half of the wallet phrase, since it’s 12 words, you can let him have 6 words and then maybe you can give the other 6 to a family member, you trust and without actually disclosing to anyone them just how much funds is in there. This way you’re sure that the only time the wallet can be accessed is when you’re no more and it’ll be shared exactly how you want it to be shared.

Personal I believe in privacy , but in as much as they said privacy is the key to succeed in life , people can’t destroy what they don’t know but it has nothing to do with investment and family, why getting married to who you can’t trust with your asset, why having kids you can’t reveal your asset at least there should be one soul you can trust either your mother, father, sisters, brothers name it your relative , Unforeseen circumstances can occur at anytime so there should be one person you can trust with your investment rather than hidden it away from everyone .

We understand the generation we are into now , family can kill to get your wealth , woman can do unimaginable both wives can go as far divorce  to get percentage of your wealth but there should be a person you can trust , hiding investments away from everyone is totally wrong .

You’re right but most times it’s often more dangerous especially sharing such details to a child at such tender stages tho as they may jokingly tell their friends during a play..and yes it’s true that having a secret you can’t relate to people whom you trust isn’t all that pleasant as well, I think “the death of trust is the rise of privacy”.

[AYIMAN]

To me, privacy simply means o e trying to leave a self live..
i.e not wanting anybody to intrude into ur personal life..

It's  good for one to have principles in life but sometimes some principles may be damaging....

Emerging you have properties here and there,and not even a member of your family is aware all in the name of privacy and on the long run something happens to you...what will be faith of those properties of yours...

[Orange89]

About keep important things safe like our Btc private key ha ha
so no one can steal them
But being that too private can be risky somewhere
Like What if something happen to you
How will your family will knew what you have or how to take care of it

Privacy should not mean hiding that everything ❌
but more aboutt that being smart with who you share key detail with
If you truly trust with someone like the spouse or close relative maybe leave them hints or let them know where to look if something bad happen to you i mean Not that full access
just enough so they are not left in the dark friend
We work hard for our money not just for ourselve
but for the people that we love
So while we protect our money we should also planned it ahead

What de you say?

[Uhwuchukwu53]

For me this is not far from Will as many handy or financially solvent people write even before anything happens to them to be inherited by who ever they deem necessary to inherit it, any human that have trust issue that no body in his house hold or external friend he can relate issue with need check itself psychologically. There are different ways of letting your trusted person know about your investment even in the will that many write you don't let the person know all the secret until you know the person know the value of what you want to entrust him with, but the idea and must be communicated, even in will the person must know certain details of the will before any unforseen as your lawyer and accountant can overturn certain things. In my opinion  to tell your trusted person all about your investment is very important all one need due is to assess the person and build such person up to know if the person can handle it before releasing such information.
