Hot take: 99% of crypto events are just expensive networking theater.
You're not gonna "build connections" at some conference. Whales and VCs don't care about your pitch deck or LinkedIn profile.
They want:
- Proven track record (exits, liquidity)
- Strategic value (distribution, tech, capital)
- Reciprocal benefit
If you're broke or can't offer leverage, you're just another handshake they'll forget.
Real alpha happens in private TGs and backroom deals—not at some booth with free coffee.
Stop burning money on tickets. Build in public, ship products, make noise with results. Then they come to you.
