When it comes to Bitcoin events (conferences, meet-ups, etc.) and/or in-person Bitcoin advocacy, I’m curious to hear how people balance their interest/support for Bitcoin adoption vs. privacy concerns. Also, is self censor/silence an impediment to the overall movement?
For adoption purposes, I think these events and public facing advocacy is critical. However, I’ve always been deterred from attending such things due to privacy concerns. That same sentiment applies to in-person advocacy, as I’ve always had concerns about potentially increasing the odds of becoming a target and/or just feeling the awkwardness of the person you’re interacting with ball-parking how much you’re worth in fiat terms due to Bitcoin (which feeds into the former concern).
