First Impressions and Experiences

CryptosRUs kicked off his recap by discussing his first-time attendance at Consensus in Austin, Texas. His experiences draw comparisons with other global blockchain events like Paris Blockchain Week and Token 2049. While he found Consensus to be “pretty good, kind of what I expected,” he noted that the convention felt more subdued, with fewer activities compared to other events.

Booths & Participation

Despite the event being larger than the previous year, he remarked, “there’s not a lot of things happening,” with some booths even appearing empty. This year’s Consensus was business-focused, providing a platform for networking and project pitching over retail investor engagement.

Networking Opportunities

Networking remained a high point. As CryptosRUs elaborated, “The more people you know, the more projects you know, the more connections you have, the better it is all around.” He found value in meeting industry insiders and forging new connections.

Speaking Engagement

A major highlight was his participation in a panel moderated by Wendy O, alongside notable figures such as the co-founder of Crowd Combat and Tech Hustler. The conversation, covering various aspects of Crowd Combat and IFC, captivated an audience of at least 100, marking it as his first time on a significant stage.

Insights on Crowd Combat

One of the standout experiences was his involvement with Crowd Combat at the event, which included handling logistics and ensuring celebrities like Joe Rogan had a smooth experience. CryptosRUs noted that “Joe Rogan showed up absolutely fantastic,” describing the event as a success with an enthusiastic crypto-centric audience.

Fights and Celebrities

The various fights, including influencer matchups and professional bouts, kept the crowd engaged. “The influencer fights were a lot more interesting than the normal fights,” he stated, highlighting the impressive athleticism of the participants. He also mentioned the media buzz surrounding Billy McFarland’s victory, calling it “cool making national attention.”

Real Talk on Bitcoin and Crypto

Shifting gears to the market landscape, CryptosRUs shared his thoughts on Bitcoin’s performance, urging viewers to stay patient. “When it comes to crypto, when it comes to bitcoin, you really need to have the patience,” he emphasized, countering negative sentiment and encouraging a long-term perspective.

Overall, the recap offered a comprehensive look at the highs and lows of Consensus 2023, blending industry insights with personal experiences.
