Here's something worth thinking about: every transaction you make on the blockchain leaves a permanent, visible record. Your wallet balance, transaction history, asset holdings—it's all there for anyone to see and analyze.
Most people seriously underestimate what this means. They think their usual security practices will protect them. Spoiler alert: they won't.
Once someone identifies your holdings through on-chain analysis, the incentive to target you becomes real. And unlike traditional finance, there's no bank protecting your assets. If they find your crypto, they can take it directly.
This transparency is baked into how blockchain works. The question isn't whether this data is exposed—it is. The real question is whether you're aware of the actual risks you're facing.

That's why I never display my actual holdings on the chain. Friends, it's time to wake up.

On-chain transparency, to put it simply, is about laying yourself bare in the sunlight. You really need to be careful.

Huh, that's why I've always been using multiple wallets to diversify.
