Transcript

is this working okay anyway um hello everybody I hope you guys had a great day full of amazing talks so far uh today I'm going to show you and tell you how to improve your crypto Twitter game how to um get like better timeline of crypto Twitter so that you can guys learn more from your G from your timeline as well um and this talk will be purely for on like how to navigate this space from like the content perspective how to figure out um and find better genuine Builders um in the space but I would like to try to focus telling this story through like my

personal experience of somebody who's been deeply involved in this space I'm sorry I don't know why this is yes sorry okay this is better perfect thank you um so anyway this will be like a pure story from somebody who's been deeply involved in the space for past like five almost six years um which madees me feel a little bit old to be honest but um yeah anyway uh so the way how I discovered ethereum uh and the whole industry is uh through the little Bitcoin athm which we had back in the co-working space when I was working as a host um as well as I went to which the founders of the

co-working space in invited me later to some Theon for side events um and that's how I started in the space the space was much smaller back in the days uh but it doesn't change the fact uh how you can still be able to access uh genuine Builders and how you can determine and figure out like which projects are alleged and there is like so muchness in the space itself uh but anyway everybody was very friendly same is right now I feel like the space is generally one of the most friendliest out there in the crypto industry itself feels very uh friendly and you can pretty much DM anybody from like Founders uh to even like you know each other Community Builders organizers as

well um but yeah that's like the takeaway that the things has changed a lot in the space um itself uh it is very confusing for like the beginners if you're entering the crypto space if this is your first event the crypto space may sound very confusing uh and very like disconnected you know there is like a defon conference which itself should have capacity of like 8K people I think uh and there is around 700 side events happening uh the reason why is this happening uh honestly if you will see my L twet uh where I think I cracked the code is because defon organizers in not

get enough big venue and then there's so many projects out there who just wanted to like bring their own Community into their own event um so anyway uh what's important in the space is being able to figure out how to get the noise how to build your own network discovering Builders and projects that will help you thrive uh in the future and improveing your Crypt twiter timeline uh which is all what everybody wants cu the Twitter and especially the whole industry can be a little bit um how to say it nicely anyway there's like a lot of B KS and influencers and celebrities and just like you know things can get like dark

very fast if you are not careful enough uh so that's exactly what I said actually um anyway uh building your own network is very important uh especially on the Twitter which gives you a lot of um like you will become much more alleged and much more respected if you build your own uh Network and if you are very careful about the people and the content that you put out there uh so that's why curating your own crypto Twitter timeline is very important I've built my own myself and I think um one of the few people that spend way too much time on Twitter um which is

probably not even good at some point but anyway um I hope that I will try to give you a lot of advice later on and like people to follow uh so you don't have to do the same um but I'm trying to focus my timeline on genuine Builders and thought leaders um and all of this has led me to work with many different companies um and be and be where I am and like you know working for five years and working with uh companies such as uh my previous companies were hyperline never mind I was working with The Magicians until like I burn out it's still kind of like my baby but working with cordas was one of the best

experiences I could ever um do uh and now I'm in L and that's all because I try to spend a lot of time on Twitter and try to be very nice and like you know sharing the positive vibe because I feel like that's very important um here's a little gu know how to cure your own crypto Twitter timeline uh feel free to like take a picture of this don't need to do it now uh but the best way how to do it or like one of the ways how to do it feel free to go to my follower list on Twitter the QR code should be my uh Twi by the way this one of the best Twitter products that they actually killed where they used to have a QR code

similar as like telegram where you can just like scan the profile and it will take you to people but go to I follow go to the people that I follow and hit the notification Bell Button as that's where you will get a notification every time somebody posted something great and then you will engage with their content also make sure to go follow all of the speakers of today's conference is they amazing and it's like a full gold M uh of the content that you can get from the people that have spoken on this conference before do the same with Devcon as well okay so there is a list of the genuine Builders or like one of the very few

people that I highly appreciate and I feel like those are the builders that rece that deserve to get the Highlight um I would say just take a picture and like go follow all of these people as they are the I'm sorry nater that you not onthelist actually um but uh um yeah the civs are the people that always posst like amazing educational content developers of St Patrick uh DC as well as the application Builders such just like Kevin aukee stany who was one of the very first builders in the defi Liam has a lot of good takes and

Artist as well um but it's not only about individuals it's also about the Builder communities and the ones that I personally found the most engaging in posting like the best content and having the highest quality of like great Builders and great content ratio are those uh for the ones I did not post the handle are the ones that usually have a telegram channels um or podcast so definitely go check these out if you did not yet there are like many erors I don't want to fully like um make like a differences between like ones or others but this talk is focused on like the genuine Builders and

I feel like those communities have like the one of them that like if you will go to their like social media or if you will go to their channels you will always find like a good content that you can learn from um so as I said the best way how to step up your crypto Twitter game is to earn the engagement the best way how to earn their engagement is if you will go to those Builders profiles hit the notification Bell button and then reply to their tweets and also post quality content yourself it's not only about taking the value out but it's also about giving back the value yourself so as awesome as it is to always only like retweet um it's better

to also reply but make sure to reply more than like one word reply um as also you need to G the cryp the Twitter itself algorithm which is kind of which kind of sucks uh but unfortunately we got stuck in the momentum where unless you either spend tons of time on Twitter or unless you have somebody managing your Twitter or unless you know these basic roles uh you need to make sure that you know your account is growing because that's how it all works and the more and unfortunately the more followers you have on Twitter the more it can be respect in the Stream but it

also gives you much better opportunity to even like for example get hired because a lot of people especially uh in the deal industry a lot of people are hiring based on like how much followers you have on your social media which is on one side kind of unfortunate but on the other side I feel like this can be probably legic as well um so the engagement the best way how to actually um create engagement and the best way how to create a content is since we are on a conference like to it from talks I like know numerous of people that just sit in the front row live we take a picture from the talks and then make sure to tag a speaker and

that's like the best content that pretty much like everybody wants to read on Twitter um do like a threads do notes do takeaways feel free to even like take a like write a blog post um or articles on Twitter itself this is like the best way how you guys can uh write a content on Twitter um I also been working if you like don't go to conferences but you're here so I'm very sure that you will have a tons of time to make a good content or like to get a good content from the talks that you are attending I made this un insecurity crypto list which is pretty much a GitHub repo which has tons of resources I've been building it for six years

right now and helped on board and level up bunch of people it also has um T of services for um testet tokens so like if you guys are looking for testet tokens go there and also jump boards and like a lot of the related content lot of articles that I was reading back in 2018 when nobody wanted to really show me where to start and like even people at theing space where like oh here's like ethereum and like here's a Bitcoin and you know what you should go to like medium.com and just read the blog post there um which was kind of funny but I was just like okay whatever I'm just going to create this list which will

help people to like learn more about the space itself and I highly encourage you to do similar thing as many people the me were like yo that this list inspired me and I started my own and especially at the beginning taking notes and like create your own ways that you can can share with your friends is crucial uh so anyway um and all of this that I just said um all of this like journey and like all of this experience uh let me to where I am right now so I'm working at GL right now which is semi freshly growing startup we are focused on uh uh solving

long-term incentives we also just launch stable coin uh which accumulates which like earns yals um and it helps other ecosystems as well so if you're building pretty much like any project you should check out last is that enables you to for users to earn more yield on your own token um but I don't fully want to get into details because it's very fresh um but I will point you out to towns which is like andus which is our founder and also Andy who um both are sharing very good takes on like what we are building and like there's like a lot of things

happening but you should definitely join last Community as well um as we have a lot of insight into building sustainable ecosystems and this is like the best way how we can learn about last itself itself as well um the closing takeaway uh what I highly recommend and we like encourage you all to do is to just make a tweet from this conference and from whichever talk that you attended today T per lers and that speaker and feels free to ask them a question or like like a takeway um it should be definitely the way how you can step up your crypto Twitter game and to also support

organizer of this conference as well as well as like you will get more uh engagement on your Twitter itself the last takeaway that I have for you is that no matter how awesome the space is uh it is it isn't only about building so ethereum is not only about building but it's mainly about connecting and you guys should everybody in this room or like everybody in like the whole conference should realize that the ethereum and like we all are bu projects to like towards improving e itself so it's all about the connection and coordination of chain so feel free to just connect together and

like coordinate as we are all building the future and like value for a long term itself as the iners connections are much more important than just earning people's telegram usernames like Pokemon game CU like to be honest um people probably won't go back to them past like some amount that you have you like you know yourself as well um and also the iners connections are much more important than just literally getting like a a telegram itself um but yeah that's my take away from this that's my T itself uh feel free to like reach out

to me on telegram or Twitter that's my handle U make sure to follow last check out last website and thank you so much Claire and damsky for hosting this conference year around the whole week [Applause]
