ETH NYC was uncomfortable for me at the day one. And I think that's exactly why it was valuable. I've attended many crypto conferen2ces before — Token2049, Consensus, events in Singapore, Dubai and Hong Kong. Usually, I have no problem talking to strangers. But at ETH conf, I found myself standing there, looking at people, and not knowing how to start a conversation. Most of the people here aren't KOLs. They're builders, developers, founders, researchers and VCs. And for a moment, I kept asking myself: - What value do I bring to this room? - What can I offer them? - What can I learn from them? Instead of forcing myself to "network", I started getting curious. 1. What are they building? 2. What are they excited about? 3. What problems are they trying to solve? That simple shift changed everything. Over the past two days, I met founders, builders, Ethereum ecosystem contributors and project teams. But the biggest takeaway wasn't who I met. It was realizing that growth usually starts the moment you leave the room where you feel comfortable. And sometimes, while trying to discover the value in others, you end up rediscovering your own. @ETHGlobal @ethconf #ETHNYC#
