New question for experts

[Mpamaegbu]

Hello everyone, I have a new question,
In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?

Is it worth it to attend events hosted in the medical sector if you're in that sector? It's the same thing with your question. Of course, yes. I think seminars and trainings offered in different sectors are deemed necessary and those who work in those sectors shouldn't hesitate to attend them. Again, attending such events will provide attendees an ambience to interact with one another. Development takes place when people interact with others. All that will be necessary if one is interested in building a career around such. For instance, I find it exciting attending seminars hosted within my reach which are related to what I do. I believe it should be same for others.

Hello everyone, I have a new question,
In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?

It depends of what is the purpose of visiting such an event. For education? Probably not worth it. You can watch videos (including some from blockhain meetups from your region) online. Marketing and exposure? Perhaps you could participate then. Nice opportunity of meeting industry insiders and other interesting people. So it's up to you.

Let me tell you something, not every knowledge is available on the internet. And you can not teach yourself everything. Sometimes you need human touch or taught by others in order to learn them in easy or the best way. And what is benefitting you, you will never share the real secret of it to others. There will always be a mystery behind it, which will always be a secret.
In crypto seminars, there are lots of people in which you will find many experts. They possess some weapon in the arsenal that no one knows about. If you are lucky, you might get a glance at their secret. Because it is way easy to ask someone face to face and collect data from them. If you approach them with a curious mind and intention, they might not be able to stop from sharing their secrets. And when you meet new people, your knowledge is meant to grow. Not decrease in that process. So if you can afford to go to something like that, don't miss that opportunity. You may end up with a lifetime lesson that will become the key to your success. The worst way to ruin a perfect plan/strategy is to tell it to someone who is unsuccessful.
So when you met successful people there, if you share your plans, they might give you some suggestion which will help you to execute that perfectly thus making you successful in life. Well, that's just my thoughts.

Your stance on independent study versus tutored teaching is captivating. The "mystery behind knowledge" underscores the human component in learning, especially within nuanced realms like cryptocurrency. However, I part ways on one notion - the internet, in its enormity, is an underestimated knowledge trove.

As for crypto seminars, you're right. These are wellsprings of market insights and tactics, tapping into the expert pool. Still, the idea that these pros have secret arsenals may be an exaggeration. Most are sharp market analysts, employing well-tested strategies with individual instinct.

Your proposition about seeking counsel from successful individuals is persuasive. Indeed, such exchanges yield valuable feedback and fresh vantage points. Yet, it's crucial not to take advice at face value - what succeeds for one might not for another. Your judgement remains the ultimate acid test.

I have done it a few times, I have to tell you unless you have a specific point in your mind then there is no reason to attend to. I had that before, I had something that I was reselling, a product that I was promoting, which meant that when I went there with a business card and walked around that was lovely, this was back in 2017 if I am not wrong which means that the market was on the up and people made money as well.

So, I both built a network and had something to use that network for as well. But, if you are just going around to see what's going on, then there is no point in there. Think about it, if you knew a million people in the crypto world but had no benefit from it, then why would you want to spend time to get to know them? You better have a reason to build a network.

Hello everyone, I have a new question,
In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?

Attending block chain events can be beneficial in many ways, such as acquiring knowledge about an emerging technology, interactions with professionals of industry, and gaining awareness about investment opportunities. However, decision to participate in these events depends on personnel interest and alignment with your business objectives. I always welcome such opportunities and encourage all crypto enthusiasts to seize them without hesitation.

[adzino]

I think it is actually worth joining those conferences and events if you are very much interested in blockchain and crypto currencies. Attending those events can actually help you move forward with your blockchain 'interest". Events like those usually invites lots of new and also well known project developers. This would be your best chance to learn about what currently is going on with projects, new/future development, and what to expect from them. In the process I am sure you will be learning something new from the experts and leaders, which can deepen your understanding on blockchain. Plus, you get the opportunity to network with like-minded people and might end up creating something yourself! If you aren't busy or have anything important to do, then why not attend it?

In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain bitcoin events?

(Fixed that for you.)

Blockchain events are usually just for hypes and tokens, presales and launches that eventually fizzle out, it's not really something you can count on as making a long-term (positive) impact in the industry.

Bitcoin events on the other hand, now that's the real deal. Nothing like increasing Bitcoin awareness and adoption, and upgrading the Bitcoin technology with new protocols and programs.

[Jawhead999]

I'm not really sure if it's worth or not because not all people who're organizing event is to adopt and help people to invest in Bitcoin. Most of people who're organizing event just to promote their projects e.g. centralized exchange, trading bot, wallet, casino that related about money making.

So if you can learn by yourself, it's better to learn Bitcoin by watching few videos and books rather than hoping someone teach you on the event.

Hello everyone, I have a new question,
In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?

Blockchain event is very important for those who want to get any new point of view about blockchain. If you ask, is it worth it or not? The answer is really worth it if you look at the blockchain experts who took part in the blockchain seminar or event, so that we will get new knowledge or perspectives like I said.

[tbct_mt2]

I'm not really sure if it's worth or not because not all people who're organizing event is to adopt and help people to invest in Bitcoin.

We can do many things with Bitcoin and investment in Bitcoin is one of them. We can organize many things to help Bitcoin adoption and not only about Bitcoin investment.

Most of people who're organizing event just to promote their projects e.g. centralized exchange, trading bot, wallet, casino that related about money making.

They are doing right things. Building products, bringing more use cases for Bitcoin and they have freedom to promote their projects, businesses and products. If they are building good businesses (not Ponzi, not scam), good products which solve good problems and demand in society, it is good and we should support them.

So if you can learn by yourself, it's better to learn Bitcoin by watching few videos and books rather than hoping someone teach you on the event.

I don't understand which blockchain conference you are talking about. If it were me, I would attend blockchain seminars, this is a gathering place for experienced investors, it will help you in this turbulent market.

In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?

I've  read some great replies  and opinions  from people and truly I've come to raise that no matter how correct we might be, there is always a genuine defense against your opinion  and that's one thing the forum has made me realize.
Well from my personal opinion, I think it is good to attend these seminars especially  if it is legalized in your country but if its not,  then I wouldn't advice  you to go to such gatherings as there is always no form of safety guaranty just incase the government or security agencies catch up on you guys.
In a country  like mine, I wouldn't dare to attend  these seminars and I wouldn't also advice anyone to attend but rather make use of the knowledge  we get from the internet.

NB I've already written your response  and just had to upload it because I couldn't stop imagining how much the forum has thought me.

There are so many things that can be learnt from that kind of seminar because it can be eye opening for those people that will attend it.
Asking this kind of question can be very funny because we all know that it pays to learn new thing especially going for events and seminar that can bebeye opening. If I were op, I will not even come here to ask question whether to attend or not. I will go and see what the event is all about and come here to give opinion or share knowledge to the forum. We learn by asking question when we have already taken a move about the little we know.

Blockchain Events are not only for investors, most of blockchain events are for people who have an interest on blockchain technology.  Since the blockchain event is where topics like, problems the blockchain technology is facing, the solutions to the problem,  the current and fresh development of blockchain tech, and the possible future of the technology.  There are even cases of debates between pro and anti blockchain.  So I think it is a good thing to attend a blockchain event as long as the blockchain event is not hosted by a Ponzi scam company.

Hello everyone, I have a new question,
In your opinion, is it worth attending blockchain events?

Attending an event depends on your career path or interest in that field. How useful the event will be depends on your intention for attending. If you want to start a career in the blockchain sector, then it is worth attending. Attending blockchain seminars might be also beneficial to people from different fields so it might not be a waste because your career can be integrated into the blockchain system.

But it is also important to consider the content of the event and how proficient the organizers are. Most of these events are just organized solely for profit-making without any genuine intention of imparting knowledge. I have also witnessed these seminars where the organizers will introduce an investment scheme or a worthless altcoin for participants to join or buy. But if you are sure of the organizer it will be good to attend. You have to also consider the cost of the event, if you can afford it or not. There are diverse quality videos and materials you could have access to that can give you standard lectures on the blockchain.

[Captain Corporate]

Depends on what you want to take out of it. There will be some people who are  connected to the crypto world (and believe me, some who won't, just there for fun and invited). If you really think that you can get something out of it, then I would guess that you are going to benefit of course, depends on your human interaction skills too. Thats not a simple thing really, a lot of people end up failing that part and I think its quite important to just have that, if you can do it then you are going to be great at it. I personally usually do not end up with anything like that, because I end up getting bored with people so I can't really talk with them much, so I turn that into a benefit and just cut to the point, and move to next person instead.

[crypticj]

Depends on your goals. If you want to meet new people with the same interest and share your experience/knowledge, then yes.

But I don't think that if you are good at blockchain, you will learn something new. I've been to various crypto meetups and I can't say that they were helpful to me, because I already know everything I need.

[ChiBitCTy]

I think it depends on whom you go and see.  If you're going to see speakers like Nick Szabo, Adam Back, Greg Maxwell and andreas antonopoulos, then absolutely it is.  If it's a convention full of turds like Roger Ver and Craig Wright, then no, I wouldn't waste my time.

Besides the speakers and what you can learn at these events, there is something to be gained in potential friendships made.  A lot of my buddies from this forum have met up at conventions and have an absolute blast.  So there's this too!

Blockchain conventions are good chances for learn new blockchain evolution, knowledge and make friends, build your partnership if you have a business or are working as a Business development or Partnership lead of projects.

I agree with all your points and want to write one more point. When people are joining a blockchain event, convention, conference, they must bring a device (laptop, mobile devices) that does not have your cryptocurrency wallet. I have a friend who lost his laptop at an ending day of a Blockchain Conference and it's an uncomfortable experience.

You can bring your device for working but make sure your coins, wallets are at home, not on that device.
