 I would recommend against going to Bitcoin meetups during bull market 

If I was a kidnapper this is first place I'd go to scope out targets  
 Bitcoin Paraguay community...
be aware

 Sadly Bitcoin meetups are the entirety of my social life at the moment so I can't stop going or I'd be a hermit. But any smart kidnapper would hopefully pick one of the dudes with cyber trucks over the guy who rolled up on an old bike. I look even poorer than I am 😆 
 This is the way. I'll happily drive my 15 or old Ford every where. Flaunting wealth just makes you a target.  
 That's a fair point. The funny thing is, if anybody tried to kidnap me, they'd get absolutely nothing because all I've gotten Bitcoin is about $2 in sats from zaps because of all my failures to actually buy Bitcoin 🤔😂 
 same, might end up making money after having a cool story to tell 
 I've definitely resolved not to display any Bitcoin stuff while I'm out for the next year or two.

My poor Bitcoin shirts 🥺 
 I sometimes wonder whether I should take down my "bitcoin accepted here" stickers in my medical office.  
 That's a tough decision. 
 I don't think so, for all people know you just convert everything to fiat, different than being an "enthusiast" who goes to meetups and might be an OG whale 
 Fair point, I guess at this stage of adoption people still think "taking profits" is the normal thing to do.  
 Where do we get girlfriends from? 
 Bruh they definitely not at meetups lmfao 
 🤣 Are they on lightning.store? 
 @orangepillapp keeps track of targets for you lmao 
 🤣🤣

 definitely keep a careful opsec profile, including no identifying pictures and being watchful if you're being followed afterwards 
 But I’m the asshole for staying home. 🤣🤣🤣 #fax  
 Probably sage advice.👍 
 Carry your pistol every day. Train with it every week. 
 I’ve felt that way about them the whole time. 
 Dont worry, Bitcoin developers are poor😂 
 meetups used to be legit. now I definitely see your point.  Seems like the scumbags, both male and female are being attracted 
 
Always have EDC now when I go
