## Summary

A personal recap of the 2049 conference argues that the most valuable part of such events is looking beyond one's own bubble, and that product matters more than which chain a project builds on. The author says nanograph soft-launched its APIs at the /farhack hackathon, where bounty winners were named as danielyuki, arthurjacobina and thescoho. The recap also says in-person conversations are more candid than online ones, so public social media posts reflect only part of what people think, and it recommends booking many one-on-one meetings and prioritizing small gatherings of fewer than 50 people.

## Article

2049 sum up:

1. Soft launched @nanograph apis at /farhack , congrats to our bounty winners @danielyuki @arthurjacobina @thescoho ! Check out our api if u are interested and any feedback is welcome! : https://docs.nanograph.xyz/

2. Best conversations happened at /farconasia 、/farhack, & catch ups w/ old frens and colleagues; 

3. Biggest take away: we all in our own bubble, ability to see, think, and build beyond our bubble is essential. End of day, chain does not matter, product matters, h/t @dwr @eabnelson 

4. Ppl are more real offline, h/t @timdaub.eth . Covid gets everyone used to remote working, but nothing beats offline conversation w/ ppl you trust; 

5. following 4., there is a gap b/w/ what ppl say online/in public, and what ppl say in private, offline. TLDR: what u see online/social media is just a reflection of truth. 

6. Strategy: schedule as many 1 on 1s as possible beforehand, prioritize 1 on 1s and smaller meet ups ( <50 ppl), worked well for me.
