#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.
