finally home, my final thoughts on #TOKEN2049 singapore - most productive conference i've been to - way more serious than last year, more builders, less degen - makes a huge difference when you have one clear goal - doing the work you love - meeting new people that move markets - successfully validating @alphakek_ai's new thesis - building "the new internet" as @CharlotteFang77 describes it - remember, network using the three second rule - you have three seconds from spotting someone to saying hi, to bypass your autism - friendship first - never goon - i admit ABGs will soon be required BD hires in every company - but don't "collect" them, or plushies for that matter, something i learned from @chip1cr - it helps to rock your pfp around your neck - you'd be surprised how many ppl recognize your jpg - buy a @flextag from @FreedomToType - met some incredible solana eco founders - like @MeteoraAG team - like @MrSpacemannn - rust devs looking for a new opp, get in touch with him - a common refrain was - there's too many degen launchpads - leading to distrust, pvp, and stigma around tokens - market is ready for a total (and real) utility reset - alphakek is capitalizing on speculation in a completely novel way - feedback from the first demos of fractal 2.0 were overwhelmingly and universally positive - speculation, payments, and attention remain crypto's biggest PMFs - in that order - even applies to crypto events - point in case, "the best event" at marquee w/ tbv and mario nawfal - every event needs sponsors - how do you get sponsors -> guarantee impressions - how do you get impressions -> bring a lot of KOLs - how do you get KOLs -> host exclusive KOL Awards Ceremony - KOL validation jumpstarts the entire event flywheel - go to events if they're outside your domain, you never know who/what you'll find - for me this was @bryan_johnson's DeSci event - DeSci will be a huge market for alphakek - healthy lifestyle events were a breath of fresh air, e.g. pickleball w/ @BawsaXBT, @nonplayablecin, @Kit_GPT - @Defi0xJeff's event had the smartest gathering of AI builders and investors - token + f1 + rain is a bad combo - traffic was horrendous and it's overpriced - but singapore is an incredibly efficient city, ppl are warm and food is good - book hotel early and near the MRT, way too hot to walk more than 10 minutes - changi airport is max vibes and comfort, could spend all day there - @FoxyPenguinApe and @PenguAsia are the hardest working team with literally 10 back-to-back events - @AaronTeng is the best connector in the industry more Pengu F1 gens below from our new Pengu AI Video
