The Importance Of Keeping Your Wealth And Riches A Secret.
Recently, I checked out a movie where a man found a massive quantity of gold in a remote area during the gold rush. He had found it just when people felt the gold in the area was depleted and he immediately ran off to the town to share the good news of his findings. Before that, he had taken some quantity of the pure gold he had found to his wife and afterwards, he headed out to the pub, showed off some of the pure gold he found, announced to the other gold miners that he was now freaking rich and offered to employed them to help him mine some gold. Although, he kept the location of the gold secret, he was murdered the next day.

While I was watching how things played out for this man, I instantly felt it was a stupid idea to have announced to the entire village that he was now rich coupled with the fact that he showed off the gold he found which I felt was a really bad idea. If only he had kept his wealth a secret, he would have probably lived way longer.
There are two major importance of keeping our wealth and riches a secret. The first is that keeping it a secret protects us from being the target of thieves, robbers and hackers in the case of cryptos. I've heard quite alot of stories about people who got attacked by thieves because they showed off their wealth and riches. They weren't attacked at random and the thieves knew exactly what they were coming for.
Secondly, keeping our wealth a secret also protects us from fake love and opportunists. The human love for wealth and riches is so dangerous that we can try to befriend even a wild animal just so we can get hold of the money or gems in its mouth. We are so attracted to wealth and I really don't blame us since it's natural to always want more to secure our future but sometimes we don't know where to draw the line. Keeping our wealth a secret could save us from betrayals, entitlements, wrong responsibilities and fake friends in general. People tend to show their true character when money isn't involved and that can be really helpful in making us understand the kind of people we move around with and those in our circle.
Wealth and riches aren't that easy these days to keep a secret since they often come with a change/ upgrade in lifestyle and wants, but they can be kept secret or not made fully public especially since exposing our wealth brings the wrong attention most times.
It attracts enemies that is one of the disadvantages
Yes I agree, most of the time.
Family and friends always flock towards you when they find out they can ask you for money or favors, it is always best to keep your wealth status for yourself and only for yourself, solid advice mate, thanks for sharing this post on Leo Finance, keep them coming!

Thanks alot for checking out the post. Wealth isn't so easy to handle and does comes with alot. I'm glad you resonate with my post. I'll definitely be taking part in the next LPUD and would make my post on the Leofinance and Blocktrades Hivefest contest. Thanks for the heads up.
Very valid post, @teesart.
I agree wholeheartedly about keeping wealth a secret,
but how can you keep Hive wealth a secret when there is so much transparency?

I honestly understand your thoughts on this. It's probably the blockchain's curse, but it is a blessing in other different ways. I'll be talking about this is my next post so please stick around for it.
Excellent, I will keep an eye out for the follow-up.

Hello. Totally agree with you on keeping your wealth quiet as much as can be done. Even with transparency on blockchains for all to see, you still can shuttle parts offsite to more private wallets.
Just like any thing else in life. Revealing extravagance only leads to being preyed upon. And that includes family and close friends who were previously distant.
Thanks for sharing.

Agreed!!!
No matter how much money one make, it shouldn't be on the public because you never know who is watching and growing jealousy...
I've heard of so many stories where people lose so much wealth because they didn't care to keep their wealthy silent enough.
This is a good read, got here from listnerds

I tend to agree with this. It draws ill feelings and hate from too many people. Or people come out of the woodwork to all of a sudden be your best friends.
