_ Attend meet up and conference, the Bitcoin community is awesome.

Though this is not necessarily bad, just be cautious that it could be a security and privacy nightmare. Probably wear a facemask and a cap, and don't go straight home after the conference/meetup, instead, go to a very public place like a mall first. Just to be sure as to prevent people from following you.

Exactly. With the advent of blockchain conventions and web3 events people have become a little too lenient about their security as if no one's just out there to get them every second of every day. Not to instill unnecessary fear among everyone but it's almost always better to just be paranoid and be safe than be overconfident and find yourself with all your cryptos stolen, or even worse in the hospital. Seen quite the commotion in some of the conventions from where I live (none are crypto-related for that matter) with most of them being health hazards and all that shit. Anywho I'm getting off a tangent here, main point is that just be safe, you don't have to be a security freak really with all that cap and face-mask stuff cause if you're in these events to create connections with people in the industry it's not going to work so well for you if they can't see your face. Just don't follow any crowd after the event, and perhaps take a detour to a mall or whatnot.
