FEAR AND SECURITY: CRPTO-NOIA & CROWDFUND

Source

Just yesterday, I read @belemo article on how he lost his Crypto assets(he was hacked). The first thing that came to my mind was "I'm not safe".

He is someone I look up to and my mind tweaked a little when i read he fell victim to such cruel scheme. @pappyelblanco was way worse off than I was though. When I arrived at his house, he looked really gloom and his mood was not like I knew it to be but I could understand. They are good friends after all.

LESSON LEARNED...

I'd like to think that Belemo shared that ordeal so that we could be more uptight in our security(and he did it for that purpose). I can't imagine loosing everything you have earned in four years. But Belemo is way more stronger than I gave him credit for.

Sure, it must have been eating him up inside but he definitely was still smiling like nothing happened. I even followed them to the field where they played football. I admire him ten times now than I did before. I mean, I would be in the hospital right now if it happened to me.

I AM STILL SHAKEN...

Yesterday, a million thoughts went through my mind. Am I safe at all? What do I do now?

Really, I felt a little pathetic that I was shaken to question everything I know like that but I'm still human. I was basically arguing with myself before I left for Pappy's place. The thing that seemed to ease my mind was the cold wallet I read about here on Hive. I mentioned it during my conversation with Pappy who asked me, "what if it falls down and crashes?"

I replied with "I'd be careful and put it in a safe." But during my mind run, I also asked questions like "how do I safely hide away millions worth of Crypto assets from a treacherous government?"

Pappy told me that I could decide to have one or multiple accounts but either way, the account(s) shouldn't hold more than N10,000,000 for an individual.

I learned a lot yesterday about red flags and security. I made an unorthodox comment about a Hive account that set off alarms in my head(you can't blame me, i was beyond paranoid yesterday) but was quickly put at ease when Belemo vouched for them.

Anyway, yesterday was an eye opener and pappy said I was being insensitive when I mentioned that I would work towards securing myself after reading that heartbreaking post. He may be right but I also don't feel wrong. I've always been selfish when it comes to my own ambitions or things that are of utmost priority. My mental health is important because I do know I may not be as strong as Belemo should I experience the same thing.

MY WAY OF LENDING A HAND...

@edicted made a post about crowdfund and this may be really small compared but every reward on this post goes to @belemo. My own small way of being a support. Thank you Belemo for being so strong... You have no idea how much it meant that you were still up and about given the circumstances.

THANKS FOR READING...
