Let me just say it here ------- loose lips sink ships. My actual friends don't know I have any crypto understanding. I would like to keep all ten fingers, LOL!

I think I'll keep self custody/privacy and only transfer small amounts as needed to my public exchange. With a little ingenuity you can figure out of way to have the address "wrong" in their database. Wow that database leak presents an insane risk to someone that isn't into self custody and stores a few BTC there. Hell its over 100K for every single coin now. People will do bad things for a few hundred K or more. Yikes!!
Other than obviously staying off the radar there are some things to mitigate (I should probably stop posting). Hidden wallets using totally different passwords and such BUT using a few decoy wallets that can be turned over due to a $5 wrench. The bad guys will ALWAYS assume you have multiple wallets so you are going to get "hit" either way looking for more $$ ---- more coins. Truth even when you do disclose all your coins they will still think you have more. Someone may have mentioned above but use of multiple access credentials can be a good and bad thing. e.g. - For your larger cold wallets (those are funds you are storing but not using for now) you could lock a needed key inside your bank deposit box. No amount of $5 wrench will get them access to that key middle of the night no matter what they do to you or a loved one. Maybe have an attorney hold a needed "key" with explicit instructions that you be provided that key ONLY with direct physical presence before him/her. If I owned crypto I would not allow the complete decryption keyset to be present in my home. There would be required off premises access "components" and the acquisition of those could not happen online.
