A few days ago, I was eating at that hot pot restaurant in the Dubai Mall. Because I was wearing a crypto exchange T-shirt, the manager immediately recognized it. He offered me a 12% discount on the spot, which really surprised me. A few days later, I went again, and this time they even added a dish on the house, saying it was for an old friend.

This restaurant was previously recommended by a well-known figure in the crypto community, and I had always wanted to try it. After experiencing it in person, I found the environment quite nice and the service excellent. I didn't expect that, even overseas, wearing something related to Web3 would get me this kind of treatment. It seems the influence of the crypto community is even more pervasive than I imagined.

Sometimes I find it quite interesting—this industry has developed to the point where it's not just about online numbers and transactions. Even daily offline life is starting to have subtle connections. Maybe this is what they call cultural identity—a single logo can create a sense of connection between strangers.
