Go to meetups.  Have a beer.  Just make sure it’s not a Bitcon Cash meet up advertised as a Bitcoin meet up....

I confess that while I have no RL BTC mates either, I have mixed feelings about ever going to a random meet up.  It's a pain being surrounded by no-coiners, but the contrarian in me fears that a meet up might be about as grimly enjoyable as a school reunion.

I do like the WO Support Group™ though - it would be awful going through all this without some fellow travelers to share the ups and downs with. 

Frankly, that is probably why the WO is essential.  When it's boring I am not alone.  At rocket and moon times it's been a joy raising a glass to virtual friends.  When things have been down it's often been a pick-me-up... there have been embattled times when a Sparta meme has helped me sleep more soundly, I can't deny that.  It's why I wanted to fight for it when Theymos felt obliged to put it on ice.

On balance I am probably likely to remain 'virtual-only', but I will try and stay open-minded.  I like to party and I'd be tempted to look up a few of the undoubtedly likeable souls here if i was passing through their neck of the woods.

However, strolling to a roll-up of people who were BTC-heads who just happened to be near to me?  I doubt it.
