Are Crypto Meetups Worth The While?

[A2zchains]

Hey guys... The crypto community is one place you can easily make online friends and share ideas and I have made quite a few myself since I began my journey... It goes without saying that, networking is an asset.

As an introvert, I kinda like being behind the scene and having less human interaction but even so I tend to talk alot about specific topics like crypto even if I am talking to someone I met for the first time. Probably it has to do with the fact that not so many people have an idea about it around me.

I recently saw meetup event where people could meet and network. I haven't been to one actually but I'm contemplating...

Are crypto meetups worth the while? Have you being to one?

I have been to a few myself, and I can tell you that it depends on the size and what you are going there for. If you actually do have something that you can make money from, and you are going there to make a sale, there is a possibility that you could make some money there. It could be a project, it could be a website, it could be an affiliate marketing thing, it could be a software, anything really, as long as you make a sale. But if not, and you are just going there not knowing what you are going to do and just walking around, then you may meet a few cool people but that's it, nothing else will happen.

I've been to one here in my country, and to be honest with you, I regretted going there since it wasn't really worth it for me, most painful part is that the meetup was held in a very far place from where I stay, I spent quite a huge sum of money to transport myself and a friend of mine to the place, but at the end of it, aside from the fact that we did meet alot of new faces there, the rest of the event wasn't really worth my being there, this was way back 2021 if I still remember well, and since then, I've not been to any crypto meetup again.

But also understood that this is just my personal experience, and my own experience isn't a prerequisite for yours, you may try, and your experience will be greatly better than mine.
And besides, I will love to attend another meetup, but that will be when I decide I am ready, and also must check the organizers to be sure they are very serious people, and not some play boys like the ones that organized the meetup I am talking about here.

But what is your aim of talking to someone about cryptocurrencies when you are just meeting them in the first place? Are you doing crypto marketing or running a physical Crypto ADs?
It does not seem good that way Instead talk to people that are closer to you then you can always share ideals and discuss about the technology in a positive deliberation if either you are trying to convince them to adopt the digital currency or you are both storming on how to embrace the industry together. Discussions like this can not happen between you and one who you must meet in that moment because they are certainly strangers in that moment.

Think about the risk too, can get yourself endangered because you could actually say what you are not meant to knowing that peoples minds can not be determined of what they holds against you.

If you're a speaker - yeah.

If you're a business owner - of course. You can capture new clients that way.

If you are a developer and you have a service you just made: That's where you can find potential users and tell everyone about your tool.

For the rest of us, it's just vibing and having a good time.

I've been into some and for me, it depends on who's the organizer. There are some organizer that are really conversational and friendly but some are not. And that's why for me, it's important to know the organizers and research for some feed backs from the past meetups that they've organized.

For some people, it can be something that will have a positive impact on their business because they will promote their projects and get to know potential investors - for an ordinary visitor, it is just an opportunity to see some people who are famous in the crypto world and maybe get a chance to ask them some question.

What I noticed is that most of these meetings are about DeFi, altcoins and the like, and honestly I'm not really interested in that. In addition, the price of tickets is generally very high.

I would like to go to one of the well-known meetings that focus on BTC, and as far as I can see, for those who are in Europe, there is a good opportunity for just such a thing in Amsterdam -> https://b.tc/conference/amsterdam

As crypto enthusiasts it's essential we meet people with same goal and interest to communicate and share ideas. The next person talking to you might be your problem solver, or even give you a clue that will lighten up your crypto enthusiasm with great profit. I have joined several crypto meeting on twitter X and I must say it was amazing you should try it out, you'll definitely learn from one of those meetings. And the most interesting part is, you can also share your opinion or ask questions and you'll receive answers there at the live meeting.

Haven't been in one and most likely will not attend as well. Not sure but the aim of you being in crypto is to be anonymous as you can. And so if you surface with this meetups, for sure everything that you try to protect in years with your identity and what not, will be uncovered.

There could be advantage for us, specially networking and meeting others, but I'm not that kind of person though. And besides, maybe all the info and knowledge that will be shared could be absorb in a community like this or the other forum.

[Cryptotedie]

I totally get it, I was hesitant to attend my first crypto meetup too! But I'm glad I took the leap - I ended up having a blast! I met people who shared my interests and even got to connect with some industry leaders. It was a great experience that taught me the value of stepping out of my comfort zone. I think you should give it a try too, you never know who you might meet and what opportunities might arise!

Maybe if I had a lot of money, I wouldn't go to the crypto event because it's very dangerous especially here in our Country. Because many people think that when you do crypto, you make a lot of money, so this method is not really good. Maybe because others are just taking your personal identity and if they find out that you have a lot of money, they will victimize you. Other than that, it's worth it to join because the people you meet are doing crypto, you'll be really amazed.

I took my time to read through what you have said and what others have to say as well and while there should be reasons for anything we do, we should not also fail to admit and respect our choices, ask yourself first what you want to achieve bring in this space and how you would achieve it. If it requires that you attend those events, then look for how you can still achieve your goals by attending the event with a proper mindset and goal not just attending because you see people say they attend or they set up an event.

Also never underestimate crypto events, ever since the inception of cryptocurrency, different agencies never stop making themselves known through marketing and offering knowledgeable and rewarding events to different communities mostly to increase adoption while rendering services, so ask yourself what they have to offer if you attend. I have attended Bitget meet up only once after I have missed several events by Binance for example and I can say I got to connect and learn more things along side receiving merch.

Some might not like to be seen in public like some have said, then that will mean you should look for online events if you are after knowledge. There could be incentive for you, but it still can't be like a physical meet up. So I'd say what are your goals in crypto space and what do you want to achieve?

Having connections with the right people can indeed benefit you but some people choose to be with themselves only and in some cases it must be better because you should consider your safety and as well as your ideas around the people you will meet

i think it is nice to have some people to share the same interests and people you can turn in to for advices and you can meet them through events like this but it is always best if you do not let your guards down too quickly

i am not saying you should avoid the event but proceed with caution

Yeah, be careful when you go to those meetings. The last thing you want is to get robbed because someone found you at a meeting and figured out where you live. And I wouldn't want it to happen to anyone. So anyways be prepared.

It heavily depends on what you expect and the meetup itself. Personally i would stay away from meetup with focus on making profit or invest on stuff with many buzzwords, which is what many meetup these days does.
