The best way to avoid getting mugged for being rich is to be poor. Don't pull some new money bullshit. Focus on quiet simple comforts in high touch areas of your life, preferably not public stuff. By not going all new money flash your stack will last longer too. I read millionaire next door as a young man and that lesson about humility and avoiding lifestyle inflation sticks with me today. Sure I posted some high end hand tools recently, I work with my hand tools a lot. I'm still driving the same truck I have been since before my first sat. I'm interested in bitcoin sure. Do I have 100, 10, 1, .1, maybe even only .01? A $35 screwdriver is affordable with a stack any of those sizes.

100%. I don’t think any ride or die wants to showcase their stack size. But we have to come to terms that no matter our lifestyle, we probably slipped up somehow in the past and exposed at least some of our stack size. The uptick in violence against bitcoiners will likely surprise to the upside. I just hope we are ready when it does
The more of us with good designs that make it impossible to get our keys using violence the quicker those will die down. Multisig keys spread around at good enough friends that they'll greet us armed to the teeth if we show up trying to access our sats just in case.
