I would have slept a lot worse if people thought that I held millions in an asset that can be easily stolen by invading my home and putting my family at risk. I would only be happy if I was very careful with not revealing who I was, ever (hard to do if a exchange gets compromised).

It helps that I have all my necessities well covered.

That scenario only holds if you go around blabbing about your BTC holdings ... why would you ever do something like that?

I mean, that was a trend for a long time hah. Even in this thread we’ve got folks talking about the 3k+ Bitcoin they used to have.

There were a number of robberies of people somewhat prominent in the early movement even on the assumption they still held some.
