Shannon Ewing of Presearch reminded the Blockchain entrepreneurs in the room that marketing and community don’t end at the conclusion of a token sale:
After his token sale, @shannonewing said that @markjeffrey just wanted to get back to building @guardiancircle. She made it clear to him that keeping up with transparent community updates was important to not getting labeled a “scam.” #blockcon #blockcon2018

She also had a top tip to keep scammers out of your Telegram groups:
“Use @MetaCert to avoid telegram phishing schemes.” – @shannonewing #blockcon #blockcon2018

Bleznak believes that products that make it easy on the user will gain more adoption:
“User experience & customer experience are important to adoption. This means showing them value, not explaining concepts. People want their assets to be secure… and the convenience factor” – @bleznak @TotleCrypto speaking to @AlonGoren @cryptoinvestsmt #blockcon #blockcon2018
