If you’re part of Web3, odds are you’ve spent much of this year traveling abroad. It’s likely you just got back from a conference if you’re reading this. Maybe you’re at one while reading this now. Regardless of where you’re based, you’ve likely hopped from one international conference to another. Over the years, these events have stretched across the United States, South America, Europe, Asia, and might soon make it all the way to Antarctica with the pace of how it’s going now.
It’s true that, for now, most networking in this space happens at conferences, and until a central industry hub emerges, that will likely remain the case. But collecting a handful of new Telegram contacts and snapping selfies with promises to reconnect doesn’t compare to having focused time at home to create real value. The reality is that most of those chats become a graveyard of forgotten messages, never evolving beyond the initial promise to “connect after the conference.
Currently, it seems the primary goal is to become the most influential crypto company or figure — within the crypto world itself. But with finite funding, even for well-funded companies that have or haven’t launched their tokens, it’s worth re-evaluating the cost-benefit of this approach.
