@AjeetK But it will get better.

[Imran Soudagar @cryptounfold25]

Haven't bought a single cryptocurrency in the last two years. 👀

I'm thinking of getting back into the market and rebuilding my crypto portfolio.

Not looking to chase the next 100x meme coin. I want to think long term.

What would you buy if you were starting your crypto journey again in November 2026 or January 2027.

I'm all ears.

[Imran Soudagar @cryptounfold25]

I'm down there somewhere...

[India Blockchain Week (IBW) Conference @IBWofficial]

IBW2026 wouldn’t have been possible without the people behind it.

Everything you saw on stage, and everything that happened behind the scenes, was made possible by this incredible team.

@0xvishnukv Damn... You started one of the most interesting conspiracy theory 😂

[Imran Soudagar @cryptounfold25]

@SwastikBaidya @EFDevcon Awwww... I too felt bad cutting the Devcon band.

@SujalJethwani Not buying land.

80% students but eventually they'll become a part of the industry.

[Pavlo rdchk.eth @rdchketh]

Sharing my @EFDevcon summary

1. The people. Around 5.5k visitors:

- 80% local students
- 10% local professionals
- 5% people just vibing and using the opportunity to travel to India (me)
- 5% EF people, researchers, scientists, etc.

That last 5% is the audience Devcon has traditionally targeted. If that’s still the goal, future Devcons should be smaller - 500 people max. If you want 20k+ visitors, you need a much broader audience, with institutions, applications, DeFi and other tracks.

2. Business. Almost zero business opportunities at Devcon. That’s the consequence of targeting a mostly non-business audience. If we want to scale attendance, this needs to change. The overlap with Web Summit next year could help, but it needs to be done strategically.

3. Ethereum vibe. The mood is sad. The WEF soyboy/feminine direction of EF is probably the only thing that makes me bearish on Ethereum. At least @VitalikButerin and EF seem to understand that “price go up” is the best marketing for an ecosystem. Once we reach higher levels, people who actually care can do much more for inequality, freedom and privacy. A lot of people I talked to left crypto or Ethereum for ai, gambling or other chains.

4. Narratives. Pretty much nothing. Quantum resistance and privacy were relatively big, but still way too niche for most people. Almost zero DeFi, perps, prediction markets, L2s or anything else that drives the broader ecosystem.

5. India. I’m more bullish on India than on Ethereum. Local people don’t quite understand what and how to sell to us (like, WTF is a Dharavi tour?), but the potential is huge.

Prices are cheap, people are super friendly and helpful, service is good, food is amazing, infrastructure is okay-ish. Fix air quality and create one flagship area with everything in place — and this could be early Dubai.

I’d definitely come back to explore more of India.

See u all in Lisbon

@0xnandhu @ETHGlobal That looks bad. Rest and take care.

[Imran Soudagar @cryptounfold25]

@Jackofnomercy @md_moinuddin1 @EFDevcon @IBWofficial @ethmumbai I'm not his ex. I think that was a typo 😂

[Imran Soudagar @cryptounfold25]

@md_moinuddin1 @EFDevcon @IBWofficial @ethmumbai Thank you so much for mentioning me. I had an amazing time with you guys. You guys are doing such good work.

Hope to meet you again 😊

[Imran Soudagar @cryptounfold25]

Met someone and my friend mentioned that I had attended a blockchain conference recently and the other guy tells me he lost a lot of money in some ponzi crypto scheme.

Face palm.
