The Blue Zhanfei incident is another reminder to everyone: when you’re out and about, always keep a low profile, stay alert, and be cautious.
If your whereabouts are exposed the whole time, someone will keep an eye on you. No matter how low the probability, if it happens to you, it’s a 100% disaster. In the crypto world, this risk is even greater.
This October, Roman Novak, a crypto industry figure famous for flaunting his wealth, and his wife Anna, were tortured and killed by kidnappers in Dubai after scamming investors out of about $500 million through fake projects. In June, a crypto trader/KOL was kidnapped in France, which also caught CZ’s attention. He specially reminded everyone to pay attention to personal safety and not to disclose your whereabouts casually.
Things may be alright domestically, but once you’re abroad, unfamiliar with the environment, the risks are magnified. Doll Sister once reminded me: when traveling abroad, it’s best to change your watch, keep a low profile, and don’t become “low-hanging fruit.”
Crypto assets are easy to trace, and the more wealth and exposure you have, the closer danger gets. When traveling abroad, don’t post your current location on social media—delay the timing; join some event groups in advance, travel with people you know, and try not to act alone. Also, avoid meeting strangers if possible. If strangers try to probe you at events, especially without an introduction from someone you trust, don’t naively share everything.
Most importantly: don’t brag. “Always-winning heroes” are easier targets. Honestly share your losses to stay safe.
