What's up everyone!
Steemians unite! Just finished the first official Steemit meetup I've ever been to, and it was a blast! I have met a few people from this local Steemit group before, but this was the first time I had been to a Steemit accelerator. Plus I was the member asked to coordinate it this time, so I was a little worried little to no people would show up. Despite some of the group being over an hour away in Denver, there was still a pretty good turnout if I say so!
I was really hoping some of the new Steemians I have brought over would be there, but only one managed to come out, which was ok. You guys all know how hard it is to get people over to Steemit, and keeping them in long enough before they get discouraged isn't an easy task either! The community involvement over here is huge, and I don't think a lot of people understand the differences as far as that goes. What was impressive was how many people came that I don't really know very well, or have just met fairly recently. Goes to show how strong of a bond a typical Steemian has with one another. I truly believe the lot of us over here are a different beast, so to speak, and that's why I have found so many like minded people on this platform.
I wanted to go ahead and say a little bit about the amazing people that showed up at this meetup, and introduce you to the awesome people of the Rocky Mountain Steemit group!!
@lpfaust
One of our veteran/guru members of Steemit. He, @intuitivejakob and myself are all co hosts of Voices from the Mountains on @msp-waves radio and gel so well together! Not a lot of pre planning has gone into the episodes for the show, and we never run out of stuff to talk and laugh about. Lp has a great wealth of knowledge when it comes to crypto and government regulations surrounding it, and has taught me so much already. I always enjoy picking his brain when I am able. His most recent post just paid out so you can't vote on it, but his last post was all about a logo contest we held for our show! You should go check out all the amazing entries Here.
@broncnutz
The other veteran crypto/Steemit guru! I was very surprised to meet him in the flesh at this meeting, as I have only heard about and seen his blog. One of the biggest Denver Broncos fans; he has a lot of awesome vlogs regarding our home NFL team, as well as great funny and insightful videos regarding the crypto space like This. Definitely someone we could all learn something from, and I thank him for buying the pizza for us at the meetup! I learned some interesting things from him in the short time we chatted.
@amvanaken
Another person from the group I had not met until today! He is a portion of the reason I am on Steemit, since him and his girlfriend @consciousangel7 (congrats on the new baby news too btw!!!!) have a joint Facebook and Steemit account called @encryptdcouple where they vlog about various altcoins. Their video about Steemit they posted over on their Facebook was enough to get me to go check it out, and I've been all about this platform since! I have a lot to thank them for. He also is active in the community and posts about various interesting topics, like This idea he has for a SmartCash proposal that involves assisting the homeless.
@consciousangel7
THE reason I am on Steemit! If we weren't already acquaintances and friends over Facebook, who knows when I would've heard about this amazing platform! I may have not even been here today, and it's so amazing to me what you can still learn about from people you may not see very often. The videos her and @amvanaken post are always informational, and you can now follow her on her journey through pregnancy Here.
@intuitivejakob
The other third of our radio co hosting crew, @intuitivejakob was the first new person I met from the group in person. We resonated so well together, and after our first meetup, he asked if I was interested in co-hosting the show. I knew then that this would be an awesome start to a much bigger friendship. Jakob does a lot of awesome psychic work, and even though that world is very new to me, he has an incredible amount of insight and I've really enjoyed listening to his talks. He has been doing tarot readings live over @dlive too and you should go check them out Here!!!
@elimence
My personal friend, and basically my BFF. He was the first person I really got over to Steemit, who also sees the value in the platform. I had been talking his ear off about Steemit and crypto so much that he finally caved and tried it out. We met through the local music scene, and became very good friends after we started teaching together. I am really excited to see him post more over here, as he is one of my personal favorite beat makers and rappers in the city. I have been running a musical competition over on my blog Here and we should expect to see an entry from him soon!
@falseyedols
I write enough about myself on my blog here, so if you want to see what I do, just cruise through my page and you'll probably find something you like. I wanted to give some love to all the people that came to my meetup. Thank you guys, I had such a good time getting to know you all better.
Have you coordinated Steemit meetups in your community? Let me know how they went if you did! I think it's so cool how prevalent these can be sometimes, and would love to hear how yours have gone as well. Much love Steemitland. Peace
I live close to Denver! Moved three years ago from Cripple Creek, just north of Colorado Springs. Following!
Sweet! If you have a Discord, we have a group over there where we chat from time to time and coordinate these things. I'll go check your blog out and see what you got :)
‘‘Twas a great time. Good to be around like minded, inspiring individuals.
I love being here with all of you. Thank you for putting this most excellent meetup together!
We'll be spoking the wheel more soon.
