Hey Steemians,
There is some pretty cool news I wanted to share.
There was a nice surprise during our first ever Steemit Meet Up in Paramaribo, Suriname. We actually got a visit of a couple of local television stations that wanted the cover the event.
One of the state owned Television stations, ATV, actually dedicated an item of their evening news on Steemit!
The interview and news item are in Dutch, so English subtitles are included.
To be honest I’m really excited that we got some tracking right of the bat, but on the other side, we are a relatively small nation with limited resources (basically you need a foreign credit card or bank account to actually be able to buy any cryptocurrency).
Would love to hear your take, whether its feedback on what I said or ideas how to built the Surinamese Steemit Community, it would be very welcome.

Awesome !
It really is! Totally unexpected as well, we just wanted to help people get started. There was another TV station that actually did a more in-depth interview in English, so I'll share that one when its up as well.
awesome. .. keep Steeming :)
That's awesome! The more attention steemit gets, the better!
Fully agree. Great to see a spin off, three #introduceyourself posts this week as a result of the meet up so far.
That's a huge achievement. National media exposure will surely open the gates wider for others to get on board. Well done.
Thanks @naquoya! I'm quite proud of it. And it does motivate me to continue pushing good local creators to join in.
That's a good start... Let us do it together...
Yes. Very glad to see you join in!
