I had a few experiences in Denver where I was looking to be alone, so I would go eat by myself and the person next to me was in crypto and then we just started hanging. One of them started with talk about his work in stable coins and ended with us trying to collaborate this week on some dao ai. 

The best thing about crypto gatherings is just being open and learning about people, projects and concepts. Compared to "i work in tech" whenever anyone asks me irl.
