#数字资产市场动态 If you have $BTC and other crypto assets on your phone, and someone asks to see your phone, what should you do? This is an old problem but really a tough one.
First, the conclusion: never hand over your phone directly, especially if it has wallet apps or exchange apps installed. Your private keys, seed phrases, and login credentials are all inside — giving someone your phone is like giving them the keys to your vault.
But in reality, it often gets complicated: family members ask to see it out of concern, friends borrow your phone, or certain situations leave no choice. What to do?
A few ideas: - Prepare a "clean" demonstration phone in advance, with no real assets on it - If you must use your own phone, log out of all sensitive apps beforehand and disable two-factor authentication prompts - Clearly refuse. You have the right to protect your assets’ security. It’s not being petty; it’s being responsible
Crypto assets are different from traditional assets. Once leaked, the loss is permanent. Protecting your phone is protecting your wealth.

Here are several comments with different styles:
---
Private keys really shouldn't be exposed casually. I even have to make excuses to refuse when friends borrow my phone.
---
Haha, my mom asked me what's on my phone. I just said it's all junk apps, and she believed me.
---
A clean phone is a genius move. Anyway, all the money is in cold wallets, so I can use the demo device freely.
---
Honestly, if someone dares to ask to see my phone, we need to reconsider our relationship.
---
Once leaked, permanent loss is a real punch to the gut. The risks are much higher than traditional assets.
---
If you want to refuse, just refuse. Protecting your wallet is more important than anything else.

Haha, I just outright refuse. When family asks, they can't persuade me either. No matter what they say, it doesn't work.

Wow, really? My mom also wanted to see my phone last time, and I just said no. She got mad too, haha.
