Some of the best people in crypto barely post. You won't know their follower count, their bags or what they think about whatever drama is happening this week. Yet if you sit next to them at a dinner, you could spend hours talking about stuff you have in common. That's what you're missing when your entire experience of this space is scrolling the same accounts every day. Go to an event and speak to people you don't recognise, ask what they're working on, how they got into it and what they're struggling with. You'd be surprised by how much people are willing to share when someone shows interest. And please don't spend the whole trip chasing a photo with the biggest ct account, give yourself time to get to know a few people properly. Grab food afterwards, stay in touch, make plans to see each other again. There's a lot to love about this space that you'll never get from sitting at home reading people argue. Go and meet the people you're spending all this time online with. IRL events, they're the alpha.
