The issue of physical safety for BTC or cryptocurrency hodlers  has been debated many times on the forum, and following several kidnappings of crypto influencers' relatives in France (but these kidnappings obviously also occur in other countries), how can btc influencers ensure their safety and that of their loved ones?

How can they both have visibility AND ensure their safety?

I'm not a crypto influencer, but that's their risk when they become crypto influencers, they can be targeted by criminals who know that they have crypto assets, especially when they have quite a lot of assets. That will be more risky for them. But what they can do to avoid criminal acts is to avoid vulnerable places, such as quiet places, avoid meeting random people, share sensitive information on their social media, or hire a bodyguard if they can afford it. They should be smarter in maintaining the safety of themselves and their loved ones, because if they underestimate it, what happens is they can become targets for criminals.
Those risks you say can be managed properly, Bitcoin influencers can still influence Bitcoin and not say anything regarding their investment, when bragging or much talk on personal holdings keep being discussed, used as a preference so others can pick interest, that makes the influencer a target as the attackers will know a lot before attacking. The same way our celebrities stay out of trouble, same pattern can be followed by rarely discussing where you want to be, secondly also avoid releasing information about current location till you are out of there, just some minor tricks to stay out of trouble.
