Do you go to blockchain/crypto events?

[virasog]

We have been to WebSummit 2018 in Lisbon, really interesting event, although not fully crypto/blockchain related.

Finally someone who actually visited the event. So what was your experience and what you felt after visiting this event. Although the name Web Summit preaasumes that it is some sort of a Web event and not a bitcoin/blockchain event. Even if there was a portion dedicated to blockchain, it should be good.

They're fun to go to to watch and maybe learn something, but mostly these types of events are more social and networking kind of things.

Well in our country there isn't much of cryptocurrency related events and if there's any then it would be very far from where i'm residing so I don't get a chance to join any events but I would love to join such events just to get to know the fellow investors and I think it is good to know the story behind every success of every investors because it is one way to learn from their experiences that can be helpful to us.

in my country also like this, it is quite difficult to find events about crypto and bitcoin in my country. if there is possible the location will be in the city center, and it is also very difficult to reach by me because the location will be difficult to access because it is far from where I live. maybe an event like this is needed especially for introducing people who don't know crypto technology

Most of the people here complain that they do not have access to the event or it is too much far away or not in their country. I think authorities can also publish live web cast of such events as it will help everyone to watch it from their homes. Those who are present in the city, should defiantly visit such events as they are lucky that event is held in their own country.

I dont go due to lack of time, but I'd love to. Of course I'd have to be picky about it because some conferences invite scammers and promote shitcoins like HEX and BSV.

They're fun to go to to watch and maybe learn something, but mostly these types of events are more social and networking kind of things.

I agree. You don't usually learn anything at these events but you can make some friends and secure business deals. It's a great place for people who already have some profit from investing in the space and want to start something of their own, with similar enthusiasts.

Does anyone go to events? And if you do, what do you like most about them?

I haven't gone to any crpytocurrency-affiliated conventions yet but I tend to watch speeches I can find on the internet from well-known entities in the bitcoin investment world. I would love to personally see them though, to get first-hand information and insights that could help me and everyone else in their cryptocurrency investment journey.

[DreamStage]

Unfortunately i have never been in such awesome events because my time is tight.

I would still love to go into some of those just for obtaining more knowledge, information and to invite friends and family.

These way i would be helping advertising them with more adoption and cryptocurrency interactions.

Maybe next time if any near my city i will be able to give it a shot.

CES is a big tech show. I read that Ledger Wallet won an award (CES Innovation Award) there last year.
Personally, I have never been in CES before, I wish I can go to CES next time.

However, I you asked me for another event, I have visited several blockchain events before.
My favorite is XBlockchain Summit in 2018. This event held by PundiX in Bali, Indonesia.
At this event they announced their new product, xPhone. It is a blockchain phone. They demonstrated how it works, the protocol, and so on. I met Cryptoshillnye as well at this event. That is the first time he reveals his identity.

[finaleshot2016]

I already went to the blockchain seminars here in my country twice.
It's really inspiring if you hear speeches that really state 100% facts about how blockchain was good and have many uses in our society.

I managed to compose my thoughts during that seminar.

"Development" and "Improvement" of the Society: Discussion about Blockchain. here's my self-made thread regarding blockchain and its future. This is the translated version, so everyone can read and appreciate it; Translated thread

[Chrystora123]

I only came to the seminar about 2 times about cryptocurrency in my city but not a seminar that discusses what Blockchain is in detail, the seminar that I went,  discussed about the crypto coins they were going to launch and they wanted to find investors, that rather disappointing because of that more they explain at length only their project.

if there is an event or seminar that discusses Blockchain, the future of Blockchain and the benefits of Blockchain to humans in detail I will definitely come to that event/seminar.

[boltz]

I went only once back in 2017 to a crypto event when honestly I'm so sorry that I went as it was with TAX and they spoke only crazy stuff there, making people to buy into Bitcoin at crazy values and promoting altcoins that I never heard of them so when you go to a event like this one just make sure that the event is a top one , with tech details speaking so in this way you will walk out with some new knowledge instead.

[AjithBtc]

In my country there is not much of conferences taking place related to cryptocurrency. Recently got an opportunity to attend the conference that is titled for a discussion on hyperledger security. As a group we participated in the conference, to the expectation I didn't get anything out of the conference talks. After that only a friend used to participate in conferences because he is technically skilled than me.

Does anyone go to events? And if you do, what do you like most about them?

If there's an event in our city especially Bitcoin meetups then why not? I would like to know more especially if the speaker/host know more about of the blockchain and other cryptocurrencies. But sad to say it is very limited or too often to happen and sometimes it do happens in different cities. I wish I could join especially in my town.

[ubercool]

I have attended many of the events which held nearby my city, I went there mainly because of the freebies they used to give in these events. Many of the coins gave away lots of their own coins to users to either use them on sand box or as airdrop.

[xZork]

I live in a remote location so I have almost never participated in any cryptocurrency events, all the information I have is obtained through the internet.
So far, ICO events have not caught my attention, most of them are just hype from the development team.
Currently I am investing in BTC, BNB, LTC, ETH if these coins hold an event maybe I will try to participate.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

No, I've never attended anything like this, though I would be interested in doing so if there was an event that was reasonably close to me.  The main problem I'd have is that I don't know anyone in real life who's interested in bitcoin, and I sure as hell wouldn't want to go to a big gathering by myself.  It would be so much better to have a buddy tagging along, someone who'd be interested in a bunch of crypto nerds congregating in an enclosed space.  That's not for everyone.

Maybe I'll meet someone from this forum face-to-face eventually, but I don't think I know of anyone who's from my state.  Anyway right now I don't think I'm missing out on much by not going to conventions or whatever they're called.

[malevolent]

I don't, I think most are a waste of time if you aren't a newbie or aren't looking to sell something, but newbies themselves should watch out not to get lured into wasting money on some altcoin scam.

[Getmon]

Not even once. The problem about blockchain and crypto events is that it is usually held in the capital city and other major cities. If one will be interested to take part in such events, one has to book a hotel, pay for a flight, and so on. Not to mention that most of these events might ask for a registration fee. Participation becomes expensive.

If you are interested in learning more about it you can visit the above link which has information regarding some of the speakers and cool blockchain gadgets.

I havent attended any these kind of crypto/events here on my country but i do hear out that most of them are just trying to sell out some mentorship nor trying to attract people on their own motives like advertising their own coin/project and trying to convince those attendees to invest
thats why im not really that interested but there were some who do actually had that conference but i do missed out on joining these events.
