uaaghh, was my first thought. Your avatar doesn't prepare for the real thing. But don't worry, here's some sunshine at the end of the tunnel: Your kids go after your wife;-)

PS: Aren't you afraid of showing so much of you and your family considering that your net-worth in Steem is so high. I mean, it's fairly easy to find out where you live., pay you a visit (or maybe your kids..) and it is even easier to steal all the $$ from your account.
The more Steemit has success and the higher Steem goes, the more creeps it will attract and then they see you and... If I was you, I would be a bit more careful although it's a pity of course. Maybe, I'll write a post addressing this issue. This might become a big issue for a lot of Steemians.
So... you're saying I'm ugly? heheh.
Yes, it is fairly easy to find out where anyone is. Whether or not I post about it, doesn't change that. What holds society together isn't just privacy, it's individuals cooperating for mutual gain instead of primitive competition. The nice thing about the STEEM and BTS blockchains is everything is visible. If someone tried to steal from me, how would they get away with it? Everything is public on the blockchain.
As to my net worth, as it increases, I will have to take additional statistically-reasonable precautions to protect myself and my family, just like most rich people do. They don't rely on police but instead have their own private security measures in place to prevent crime before it happens instead of responding to it after the fact.
Yes, I certainly can. That's what rich people do. If she gets to that level, and it becomes a statistically relevant thing to do, she should.
So far, I have never powered down. Also, BTC isn't anonymous. Criminals have already been prosecuted because of the trail they leave on the blockchain. Clearly, if I or my family was harmed and anything happened to my Steemit account, that would be a clear path of evidence for people to follow which may lead to apprehending the criminal.
At what frequency? Statistically speaking, how likely do you think this is for a given account worth, say, over $100k?
Based on the statistics you envision, what precautions do you think are rational?
What I won't do is act in fear. Much of the mainstream media and government news today makes its money off selling fear. They use statistically irrational and irrelevant events to get whole groups of people to make irrational, fear-based decisions. I refuse to be a part of that.
@doodlebear. I am very interested in your comments about security and the blockchain visibilty. Please do write a post addressing this isssue. You can see why it is a concern to me. Big upvote from me for an extremely pertinent comment.
