Wow! Wow! What a surprise! If you did not attend you should be jealous!

I must say I was a bit sceptical, no, reluctant is the word. With the line-up of expert guest speakers I also felt a bit intimidated.

Ned and Lucky, @mokluc, indeed one lucky Steemer!

Although I have read the program for the day I was not sure what to expect and could not help asking myself if this is for me. Should I not opt out and rather stay at home. To my surprise I truly enjoyed the event from the presenter, the guest speakers to all those who attended.

Steemit CEO Ned Scott left an impression on me. What a remarkable young man! I felt like a young teenager who vow to never wash the hand shaken. I can only wish him all the best in making his dream come true, to reward people through the power of Blockchain by using the Steemit platform he has given us all.

South Africa’s own @Gavvet, you made us proud! With your enthusiasm you are a true inspiration for many of us. I can now clearly understand why you hold the number one rank from a reputational level. I am sure that through your knowledge on the Blockchain and Crypto Currency, as well as your eagerness, you will make sure that South Africa will not fall behind.

One lesson I’ve taken away with me this morning is the fact that it is all real people, people like you and me!

Thank you to all who made this day possible! @jacor @naomi.louise and the rest of the team!

To all of my fellow Steemers, if you are in a position to attend an event like this, do not miss an opportunity of learning, knowledge, sharing, laughter and friendship, go!

Now I cannot wait for South Africa’s first Steemfest!
