If I were to go back in the past, I would probably go back to the time where crypto is still new. It would be nice to learn cryptocurrency and grow together with it. If I knew what crypto is back then, probably I'm rich now? Or so I thought. 😄
It has been more than two weeks since Hive Talks: Beyond Blogging event happened. I wanted to post my introduction first before creating any content here. However, creating my intro took time. But because the event gave so much valuable information which helped open my mind about HIVE, I decided to write this still. ^^
First off, I want to thank all the organizers, mentors, and attendees of the event. If it wasn't for Hive Talks, I wouldn't understand what Hive is, and so as the other crypto-related stuff.
Truly grateful to the amazing and brilliant Hive tribe Cebu who made this event possible @ybanezkim26,@indayclara, @glecerioberto @themanualbot, @thegaillery, and @anneporter. That was my first virtual meeting about blockchain and indeed a one-of-a-kind experience!
I got invited by @ybanezkim26 to join the event on my first day in the OCD discord which I easily agreed. I was still a bit lost since I'm new to the server, and not so familiar with HIVE yet so I thought it was a great opportunity for me to get acquainted with other Hive members.
Although I heard of bitcoin back in 2018, I still didn't dig further details. I heard some other crypto coins and tokens but I had no interest. I was thinking I might get scammed if I would enter it. I know, it was a silly idea but can't help it. After all, they said I'll lose money if I jump on a hype train. But it isn't the case, is it? 😄
EXPECTATIONS OF THE EVENT
When I learned about the event, the first thing I had in mind was the opportunity to learn what Hive is. I also wanted to meet the members so I could have some people I can follow and get acquainted with. After seeing the program, I expected that it might be a fun webinar. True to that, the event started with a lively atmosphere. Thanks to the charismatic and lovely @indayclara who started the program as well as @ybanezkim26 who co-hosted and matched up with her energy. Although some of us are newbies, we never felt left behind. Instead, they gave us a warm welcome which I really appreciate.
Kudos also to the game master @glecerioberto who prepared some games which we could also learn. It was a fun experience and had us all think. That gave us excitement to look forward to the topics in the event.
I didn't set many expectations because I already thought that it will be a fruitful webinar which actually it was. Who wouldn't love it when we heard firsthand and learned about Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, Basics of Crypto Trading, and NFTs. These things were not too easy to learn if not explained well by the great mentors @themanualbot, @thegaillery, and @anneporter who gave their best to explain the topics as simple as possible for us to easily understand.
BLOCKHAIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY
I have a little idea about blockchain and cryptocurrency. But the presentation by @gaillery helped me understand their meaning, purpose and how they work. Knowing the basics before entering this field is very important. That's why I'm thankful for all the knowledge I've learned throughout this webinar.
BASICS OF CRYPTO TRADING
Before, I thought Bitcoin is the only crypto. I'm still surprised that there are so many cryptocurrencies existing these days. So, I couldn't wait to search them up. Thank you @themanualbot for explaining these things to us. It was very informative!
Crypto Trading sounds fun and exciting knowing that you could have big profit but it's also risky.That's why they said, only invest what you can afford to lose. So, having the right knowledge will help me get through this and hopefully I could start trading soon!
NFT
I never heard of NFT before but because of this meeting, I became more curious. I am grateful to @anneporter who shared her knowledge about NFT and how we could start it. I know I have so much to learn but this is really interesting. I want to give it a try someday! ^^
RECOMMENDATION FOR FUTURE MEETUPS
I am very satisfied with how Hive Talks event went. From the hosting, games, up to the presentation of the topics. I love it. Even though I am a newbie, it didn't feel like it especially when these amazing people gave us such a warm welcome. Thank you so much! I couldn't wait to join the future events soon. I am looking forward to that. Also, hope we all could meet someday!
Hive community is a place of like-minded people empowering each other. It is a community that I will surely want to be part of for a long time. Can't wait to experience more things around here! I know it would be a fun and exciting journey! 😍
Shout out to these peeps! It was nice meeting yáll. 'Til next time!! 😊
