Part 2 of my reminiscence of Steemfest!
I know that the Steemfest-related posts are virtually passe' at this point but regardless, I want to take a moment to celebrate and acknowledge some of the incredible people I met during the conference.
@arcange
Who knew that the very man behind the statistics in my slides would be at the festival and guiding me through the streets of Lisbon in search of after-parties. For so many months, I assumed the account @arcange was a bot or a part-time team of developers churning out statistics for the Steemit community. Turns out, he's an awesome optimistic Belgian man! Great meeting you sir.
@anomadsoul
What a story. If you haven't checked out his account yet, @anomadsoul is making a STEEM-powered pilgrimage around the world by funding his global trip with the earnings of his posts. Hopefully I can link up with him at some nexus of the adventure. Throw him your support!
@buzzbeergeek
Who would'a thunk there were such brains behind the beer! I think @buzzbeergeek's account was one of the first that I saw and realized that there were indeed strong foundations to be made for diverse interests on Steemit beyond tech and finance.
@mammasitta
Meine Mutter aus Wien! @mamassita is probably the utmost examples of such a dynamic personality hidden behind a social-media blog. I had great joy sparring her with tales of our adventures abroad and I certainly expect to visit on of my favorite cities, Vienna, in the near future. Bis bald!
@fukako
Everybody's favorite fake Japanese ambassador ;). So great meeting you and the dedicated Japanese group. Im eager to learn more about your specific community development!
@meanmommy33
All the social and energetic potential of Steemit in one person! Lots of action here in terms of mobilizing various sub-groups of Steemit including women on the blockchain and the Italian community. I'm excited to read your propositions for @sndbox and converse more online.
@ericvancewalton and @dougkarr
Congratulations on the awesome showing you guys! And great finally meeting you two in-person. @voronoi and I will be around New York so definitely let us know when you swing by NYC (Eric) and the next time we can see something big from @thehardforkseries!
@lrock and @shortcut
Great seeing my beloved former home Germany out in full force at the festival. These guys are up to some big creative things in and out of @sndbox so I look forward to bumping heads on some impactful projects in the coming months.
@sterlinluxan
I think my knowledge of Bitcoin, blockchain, and all things crypto has quadrupled from the number of conversations I had with Sterlin throughout the conference. It's great to see more and more overlap with the crypto ecosystem as a whole and that's all thanks to organizational and communicative ambassadors like @sterlinluxan.
@bitrocker2020 and @kevinwong
These guys rep the Malaysian community hard and it was fantastic meeting them in person. Very proud to see the East Asian community thriving and investing so much innovation into this blockchain platform. Also, I hope you guys enjoyed that crab... ㅠㅠ
Again, like last time, if you have any selfies of us – please send them to me in Steemit.chat! Thanks to everyone that sent the last time around~
Finishing off the conference with @ned and @successtrainer
That's it for my gushing little captions. It's proving more relevant to have big organized events for Steemians throughout the year. The energy and optimism is infectious and as Steemfest: Lisboa has shown, the event itself makes for great, broad, and dynamic content for weeks on the Steemit platform.
STEEM on! And don't forget, follow4follow... ;)
What an awesome definition you have there for me!!!! :D Thank you so much, you're the best!!! I can't forget about SF - still! Incredible... (and a bit sad :P ) I hope I'll manage to join @sndbox - I'm so excited about it!
You were the coolest person there for sure, I'm so glad to have met you, to have learned more about the Korean presence on Steemit -I will write my name on my awesome PINK banner soon :D [By the way, Korea is playing with prices since last night now that Steem Dollars joined Korean exchanges!!! It's crazy!!!]. Seriously, you are that cool that you made @themonetaryfew and me seem cool too sitting at our table the first day conference for dinner! :D
Resteem, 100% and lots of positive energy and warm greetings from Copenhagen! (Even though it's cold hahahaha)
Let's keep these ideas going. And yea, prices have been nuts haha
As long as on Steemit, the river of ideas never stops flowing! :D But no, don't mess up your face with a tattoo :P Just looking in the mirror every morning I think is enough - ask your wife, I'm sure she can confirm that you're a cool person! :D
I can help you make money just vote in my publications
no thanks
It was great to see everyone at SteemFest we really enjoyed it.
Absolutely! It's incredible that we can all come together.
정말 재미있었어 ㅋㄷㅋㄷ 스팀페스트3 도 고고~!!
고고고!
@hansikhouse I really enjoyed meeting you in Lisbon. I Really hope to see you again at SteemFest 3.
Absolutely good sir! We'll find Club Lux next time for sure. ;)
Great~!!! to the STEEM FEST3~!!
고고고고!
좋은 분들과 좋은 시간을 보낼 수 있는 스팀페스트.
다음에는 아시아를 중심으로 한국에서 열리길 기대해봅니다. ㅎ
저도 기대합니다!!
다음 스팀페스트에 lklab님도 같이 오세요.
woot! that was so great to meet you there :) japanese will grow with time, and I hope we can make it something similar to steem.kr in japanese.
I'm slowly translating the sndbox steem 101. it'd be really cool to have the next Steemfest in Korea!
@fukako you were there too??? If only we both knew at the time fellow ocd Steemian !!!!! :D
yes, but i wasn't a part of ocd at the time, i did meet @m31 though :)
I know I know, but what a pity!!
