RE: 🏆 [CHALLENGE] What Did You Learn About SteemIt Today? (@steembasicincome Giveaway)
Interesting approach, @plushzilla.
Did you actually have a meetup with someone already?
I can imagine that a real-life 1 to 1 conversation can be a good thing, both concerning motivation and knowledge.
How I wish there was a whale who could explain to me how the reward pool exactly works, while sitting next to me - lol. It would probably speed up my process of understanding. :0)
I see a lot of people that are meeting each other, mostly during organized meetups - but like you I would prefer to have just 2 or 3 people come together. But I hear it is even organized in schools... that’s how far the SteemIt platform reaches into society.
Since I have met only a small handful of Belgians so far - to whom I’m not really ‘close’ - I think I’ll have to go on without real life interaction. Not that I care, I’m not a very big fan of meeting new people - lol
Thanks for joining, you’ve posted a valid entry
Absolutely, but I didn't write the typical post where I go through all the details of the meeting, rather I reflected on what it meant to do something like this instead of just staying online:

It's interesting that the larger Steemit meetups occur in what we call the 'developing' nations that have a more community-minded view than the mature economies that are too obsessed with materialism and consumerism (and selfies).
Of course, there are people that I admire very much on Steemit that I might never get to meet (Steemfest might be the best opportunity) so I talk to them on Discord or leave a comment on their blog, but it always makes you wonder what they are like in real life :)
True. We’re all brought up as individuals and lack team-spirit and sense of community.
Gonna read your post instantly :0)
