I get this, especially in certain countries. I feel the same way about bitcoin meet ups. I would like to go meet other bitcoiners but I also feel like it's a bad idea to out yourself because you don't know who these people are. Some may call that paranoid, but to me it's just being cautious and responsible. Maybe one day.
I have visited nostr:nprofile1qqsdc47glaz2z599a7utq9gk2xyf6z70t7ddyryrnweyt32z4sdarfspr9mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6am0wfkxgtngxdazu6ns9uq3xamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7tpvfkx2tn0wfnsh2ywm7 twice looking forward to spend some sats. What stopped me what simply Opsec. All of the Bitcoin merchants simply didn’t proactively offer to settle in bitcoin or have a “tap-on” screen option to switch to bitcoin.
Brazil is already a country where you need to be “street-wise” and I don’t want to be the gringo asking out loud “can I pay in bitcoin?”.
