TL,DR: Based in Da Nang? Pick up your new hardware wallet without disclosing unnecessary personal data.
While self-custody of crypto assets remains key (pun semi-intended) to retaining monetary freedom and sovereignty, we have also seen in recent years the downsides that can come with “being your own bank” and enjoying the freedom that comes from self-custodying your savings.
You give out your data to a vendor or public authorities – the data may eventually get leaked or sold, and you may face unwarranted home visits or, in the worst cases, see your family members targeted for kidnapping and extortion.
As various leaks of client databases from globally renowned hardware wallet vendors have shown over the years, criminal organizations lick their lips at the chance to get hold of such data – and by now, especially in Western Europe with its failing ability to protect its native citizens, internationally organized crime rings have taken advantage and staged kidnappings and home invasions at an accelerating pace.
Your data being tied to cryptocurrency self-custody, while living in a place where there is no ability or willingness on the part of the state to protect you, makes you a mark.
As the good ol’ security onion tells you:
The first perimeter of defense is to not even be seen as a target.
This is where the BitcoinVN Shop on-site pick-up option comes in handy:
You can pick up your hardware wallet purchase from the trusted BitcoinVN Shop team – official supplier of well-known hardware wallet brands such as Trezor and Ledger since 2017 – without having to reveal your home address or any other identifiable data about you.
We understand the need for privacy when it comes to sensitive financial matters.
Getting OpSec right is key – leaving any real-world data tied to your crypto assets puts you and your loved ones at increasing risk of physical harm from organized crime.
As such, we have expanded our pick-up locations from our HQ in HCMC (Saigon) to Da Nang – in recent years an increasingly attractive and popular hub for entrepreneurs and start-up founders, and the designated home of one of Vietnam’s exclusive IFCs for technological and financial innovation.
So if you’re based in or near Da Nang – or just traveling through – and want to upgrade your self-custody gear, BitcoinVN Shop is here to serve you.
Same-day pick-up can be arranged in most cases – inbox us today about your needs.
Stay paranoid, stay safe – and keep your security tight.
