Hey Steemers, @federicopistono here.
Last Wednesday I was a keynote speaker at the SingularityU Rome Chapter Launch and... you guessed it, I presented Steemit to some of the top innovators and executives in the country!
Location
It was a sold-out event at a beautiful villa just outside Rome, in a place called "Pi Campus" (like the Greek letter π).
SingularityU
Bloomberg defined Singularity University (SU) as follows:
Singularity University, where the world's brightest minds convene to attack the world's toughest challenges.
Our mission is to educate, inspire and empower leaders to apply exponential technologies to address humanity's grand challenges.
SU is now expanding globally through local chapters, and last week Rome was making its official launch, organized and run by my dear friend Luca La Mesa.
Steemit and the Presentation
My presentation was titled "Exponential Learning", where I talked about some of the greatest innovations in the world at the moment, alongside my own projects and endeavors.
I got lots of questions from the audience and I spoke at length to many of them for hours after my speech, they were super interested and were eager to know more.
Many of them already sent me emails saying that they registered on Steemit and are looking forward to their first contribution (some might have made one already!).
This was incredibly exciting for me, I was able to do a last minute addition to my presentation and include Steemit, as well as my #introduceyourself post that earned over $12k (although it was more than $17k when I took a screenshot that night, price fluctuations got it down to $12k the next day).
So many were impressed and couldn't believe their ears, I had to show them on my phone that it was for real.
We're on the right track, now we need to prove that this is a great, inclusive community and that Steemit can be sustainable long term.
Live long and prosper

Where to find me:
Awesome, @federicopistono
Love what you're doing for Steemit. I'm surprised the mainstream media hasn't picked up on it yet - I do expect it to go viral at some point. I'm sure many won't believe their ears - as you found out - but they will be impressed in the end. :)
problem here, if the media, expecially italian ones, would talk of something like crypto, nobody would understand them, that's why they won't talk about it until more than many uses it.
What's mainstream now on italian tv? the massive usage of Pokemon Go and their disadvantages. They talked about bitcoin long time ago for like 10 minutes like 2 yrs ago. Now I highly doubt they will talk of steem. Italy would run to tax ur profits. like instantly, every form of income where they can earn a big slice of % they will make a new law for that.
Believe me, if people find out they can make money, they will learn about whatever it is that is necessary. :)
But yes, Steemit.com has to become a lot simpler before the mainstream picks it up.
good job @federicopistono
steemit give your support, Upvote
Long live Steem!!!
nice @_@federicopistono
So glad to hear your talk went well. All for one and one for all! Thank you for your hard work/passion and Namaste :)
Excellent setting for presentation, outdoor / green with good weather... It elevates one's mood and receptivity to new concepts although it can have a tradeoff in terms of lost attention (people looking around, people looking other people, etc). But they'll tend to agree more when you say something "this is very exciting" => "yeah yeah". Psychology of presentations, lol...
Good job!
Incredible Federico! Great job
Wow Federico you are doing such a good job promoting Steemit! Congratulations on the enormity of your success!
Very good for you and very good for the community!
Thank you very much,
This is awesome! Way to spread the word man! If we keep spreading the word of steemit like you did... This thing is going to take off! Anyway good work! Thanks for posting bud!
I came here with nothing, so I can see for certain by checking my wallet, that ANYONE can be rewarded for joining and interacting with this community.
That's just great, everyone should spread the word at any given chance. As you say, we're on the right track. Live long and prosper
Steemit has another great ambassador. Keep up the good work.
now we pay you :D thanks
Great job! I can imagine how exciting it must have been to share the idea of Steemit and its potential to become the next big social media platform! I love recruting my family, friends and colleagues!
Nice thanks to all these grass rots open source promotion Steemit is growing leaps and bounds!
Keep it up. I need to this become huge.
something to look up to doing myself very soon . great exposure for the un aware
Isn't it exciting to publicly talk about something you are passionate about? Looking at the size of the crowd, it looks like Steemit will have lots more adopters. I think Steemit can also bring the blockchain movement to the everyday person who may not necessarily want to follow or is too afraid to invest in a coin, itself.
Nice excellent work!
wellcome
For such a long time i've tried to explain what blockchain and crypto is about, but most people from my circle just don't get it, because it requires a vision
and trust for this tech.
But after my little success on Steemit, information is spreading exponentially. Yes, I understand that 98% of them just think about easy money, and i don't believe in their success in this case.
Yet I truly believe that at least 2% that was hooked by my story, started to look at this technology in wider perspective.
So for me STEEMIT is one of the perfect examples of integration of blockchain technology in everyday life. Even for those who don't have any tech background or so.
Awww it's a shame you didn't wear a Steem T-shirt. That would have been double amazing :)
👍good post, nice place...
very good @federicopistono ! 8]

Italy support Steemit :)
congratulations @federicopistono
Hello Frederico,
amazing Job :)!
What interests me is: Do you had to deal with any negative Respons or Skeptical Questions?
well i asked ferderico what his views were on the merging of man and machine here !! He is yet to reply to this question of mine !!
Öhm .. that fine - I guess.
I´m sure there is enough "Ferderico" for both of us.
yes well it seems you and i agree on this clearly , but he certainly seems to be pleasing the crowds with his embracing of projects like malevolent artificial intelligence creation techniques !! this particular subject left a lump in my throat, i hoped to ask him some questions, but he does not seem to forthcoming on this subject, which does not actually surprise me somehow !! us couple of anti social minnows swimming against serious Steem current !! ; - )
Orson Welles applauds in Citizen Caine ! A FINE FILM ! ; - )
haha :D It is !
one of the finest films ever made on the destruction of a human soul by total greed and power !! a must see in one,s life i think !! ; - )
I´m really not that much of a Movie fan, but his one was amazing!
It truly is a must see :D !
Nice work ! :)
Could have worn a suit tho, or atleast a shirt or atleast not shorts.
But seriously, well done !
Falling down from my seat.
$$$$$$welldone$$$$
I can be your posts spread to the Russian-speaking people in Russian? :)
Respect for your work ..
You doing a good job man! Thanks!
Nice excellent work!
Excellent job Federico. Steemit will definately take off the more people promote it.
I find it interesting when I try to explain the concept to friends/colleagues. They truly won't believe until I show them on a phone or computer.
Great Job, I would love to see Steemit run a campaign to pull in more influential individuals such as yourself
Awsome brother,,
i will do what you do in my campus, I hope many of my friends can join with us
Value proposition is hard to mistake. Good work!
