Want to expand your social circle? Here's a pro tip: skip the crypto conferences.



Seriously. These events attract a fascinating—let's call it "special"—crowd. You'll notice two camps pretty quickly.

First up? The hardcore builders. Yeah, the ones glued to their laptops at hackathons. They show up at every convention, speaking in code (literally), debating consensus mechanisms while you're just trying to grab coffee. Eye contact? Optional. Small talk? Not their forte.

These folks live and breathe blockchain tech. Amazing developers, sure. But trying to chat about anything beyond gas fees or Layer 2 solutions? Good luck with that.

Then there's the second group—but that's a whole different story.

Haha, that's so true. Conferences really are just a bunch of introverted engineers; you can't have a real conversation at all.

Nah, I just like hanging out with these people. At least they understand the technology, which is way better than those who only know how to brag.

Lmao, this is exactly why I rarely go to offline confs anymore. It's really just tech nerds and shillers everywhere—you can't even have a real conversation.

Haha, this hits the spot. I’ve watched these people at conferences before, and honestly, apart from gas fees and contract audits, they really have nothing else to talk about.

Haha, that's so true. Those people at the meeting are definitely... a bunch of social landmines.

Haha, I knew it—everyone at the meeting was just talking about gas fees, there was no way to have a normal conversation.

Haha, you're absolutely right. Every time I go to a crypto conference, I regret it. It's all just people talking about gas fees, it's unbearably awkward.

Haha, seriously, every time I go to these kinds of conferences I regret it. It's always just some builders staring at their screens chanting incantations. My god...
