Exactly. I really think so personally. I think neutral play is good because it attracts really all kinds of people (old, young, etc), creating a more open, viral and sustainable effort. But this is what I think personally. Other people will find other ideas of course.
For example stuff like simply organizing events. All kinds of events. Ideally things where we have a lot of time to talk (an afternoon, a day or more), bond, etc, with time and ideally without alcohol (the idea is to have fun and not need alcohol), etc... for me it's walks, picnics, excursions, stuff that has movement and is not boring, this connects a lot of people, because it's a neutral environment allowing a lot of conversations and connections at a personal, professional levels, etc
Bitcoiners should just organize more events and meet more people :D
In the end maybe that's what will work better :)
