social

I don't understand why all crypto people always want to exchange Telegrams when you meet IRL. It's just like exchanging numbers: creates a dead end.

Much better to connect on Farcaster, Twitter, even LinkedIn, so that at least there's some passive social context to further develop the relationship. Otherwise you have to remember who the person is based on their name, force a conversation to keep in touch, etc.

Passive social context is powerful. There's a reason that people ask for Instagrams and Snapchats in both romantic and friend contexts instead of numbers these days.

Side note: I still don't understand how you can work in crypto and not be on Farcaster. Feels like one of the highest leverage things you can do to continue to build your network in the industry and perhaps more importantly actually try and use new onchain (mini) apps.

You are absolutely correct.  It's better to add each other on Twitter and Farcaster than on Telegram. You can talk to each other and connect with each other's content.  If you're into crypto, this is a good kind of relationship.
