 If you drive around in a vehicle with firearm related stickers on it, you're an operational security retard.

Never disclose information to an adversary voluntarily. 
 `*stares at you in "don't tread on me" sticker*` 
 Yep. 
 same goes for bitcoin stickers on a laptop 
 I've been saying this for years.... it makes no sense. 
 Same goes for any bitcoin related logos  
 I'm guilty of a bookshelf full of money amd bitcoin books.... but at home, and subtle. 
 And if you see someone with a handgun, make sure you shoot them. We don't know what they plan to do with that gun. Why are they hiding it? 

Note: This is a joke & I remove myself from every liability if someone reads this & acts on it. Lawyers, barristers etc ... back me up 🤣🙏

What if, and hear me out, we assume others are not our adversaries? 
 You're new to game theory, huh? 
 I just assume everyone has a gun.  
 Everyone becomes a lot cooler when you do that. Ego can't be part of the conversation. 
 I have a handful of opsec retard neighbors 😑 
 Retards :“Come and take it”!

Criminals: Ight bet 
 Thank you. I fought my HOA about parking stickers that stated exactly where the vehicle owner lived.

On the street, the gray man survives. 
 Any remotely private information - I even remove the dealership stickers from my car because statistically people tend to buy from the dealer closest to their home. The other reason is that I refuse to advertise a private business on my property. If they want that they can pay me. 
 I would add any bumper sticker, vanity plate or frame. Stop broadcasting information about yourself, your beliefs or your family. 

I have a deep hatred of bumper stickers  
 Agree. NRA bumper stickers scream:

 100% I've said that same thing out loud to myself in the car so many times it's silly. 
 @ times an indication of ability can persuade a foe to f-off.......in my experience. But I hear ya. 
 So is the gun a deterrent? 
 poker....anyone? 
 I disagree. I think if lots of people have it, it shows support to the people that want to ban or limit it.
Plus if you have 100 million people on a list, how useful is it?
I have one on my car and I'm not taking it off.
 
 Most of those who want to ban or limit guns will look at your sticker and just think you're a dickhead, a) for being a gun freak and b) for putting a gun related sticker on your car. I wouldn't put a bitcoin sticker on my car either. 
 There are downsides to it, but I disagree with your inference.
I think every gun owner should have gun stickers on their car because that will be a net positive 
 Hi, I am among the unfortunate victims of the FTX scam, a situation that has resulted in the loss of my entire savings, totaling around $20,000.

The distressing aspect of this ordeal is not just the financial loss but the subsequent actions taken by SBF and Sullivan & Cromwell, the involved debtors. Following the success of their global heist, it appears that, rather than working towards justice for the affected customers, they are prioritizing their own interests, demonstrating a complete disregard for the well-being of those who have suffered.

To witness such blatant exploitation of innocent people for personal gain is not only disheartening but also raises concerns about the moral and ethical compass of those involved. Their actions can only be described as mentally and spiritually sick, going beyond mere financial misconduct.

The significance of this situation cannot be overstated for me, as the funds lost were an integral part of my financial stability. I am reaching out to you with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this challenging time. Any assistance however small that you could provide to navigate through the complexities of this situation would be immensely appreciated.

I believe in the power of collective compassion and the willingness of individuals to make a difference in the lives of those facing adversity. I understand that you may have your own commitments and limitations, but even the smallest gesture can have a meaningful impact.

Thank you for taking the time to read my plea, and I sincerely hope that you may find it in your heart to offer assistance during this trying period. Your kindness will not be forgotten, and I am immensely grateful for any support you can provide.

 Same thing for #bitcoin stickers on laptops, crypto t-shirt logos, etc.

There are lots of people who would gladly hit you over the head with a wrench until you give up your bitcoin. 
 This guy first got the 'opsec' notion into my head, way back while on twitter. Perspective shift for the better.

Need to know basis is part of that mindset, whether firearm or the size of your satoshi stack.

Think before you flex.

 I agree from the opsec standpoint, but I take it as more of a 2nd amendment political statement 
 Damn you're so smart 
 Pure Gray Man , it's that simple.
