The day I consider hiring security for a bitcoin conference is a sign I shouldn’t come.
My experience there always humbles me, in a literal sense. People come up and say how much my content matters.
Rather than take this as an ego boost, it reminds me I have responsibility. It reminds me never to say things online I wouldn’t say in person. It reminds me of the importance of consistency.
I can’t imagine being in a position where I wouldn’t just walk around freely. I practice opsec, so I minimize easily-planned prior threats, but apart from those I think no matter how big your audience is, walking around a bitcoin conference freely seems the right thing to do.
People run into me in elevators, conference walkways, etc. I do minimize my conference appearance and am cautious of my opsec, but once I am out I’ll sign things or take pics with folks who see me and say hi.
