When the cryptoworld is bleeding, the UK Steemians come out of hiding!

After all that, I woke up this morning with most of my coins in green😂😂😂

It was only 2 weeks ago when @teodora mentioned that the man of #steem.supply was coming to town. Joining his #30dayschallenge eons ago, @dragosrua have been leaving his footprints in the platform since then. Thanks Dragos for last night's insights, they were very helpful.

Who uses steem.supply? 

UK Steemians...out of hibernation?

Aside from @stephenkendall's promo-uk months ago and @allasyummyfood December dinner, it was only on the last Steemfest2 that i have seen a large number of UK steemians. From 2016, there were just a few, scattered all around the country. Me think.

Last night's party was a bit different, where Steve from Wales and @gillianpearce from outside London joined the Londoners to celebrate each other and the platform. Though the music wasn't that conducive for introductions, the screaming of each others' real and usernames was a laugh! 

My voice is still sexy from all that🤣🤣

@redrica, i am very proud of you for last night xoxo!! Those stairs were a killer, don't you agree?

Awesome group last night folks, melts my heart meeting some "oldies". You know who you are! I must admit am better in remembering faces, though we did have a list of who came, will need to check that out, thanks @bristena94

In the midst of everything that's happening in and outside the platform, there is an abundance brought about by the platform. We can tap it for ourselves or for whoever we want. How we use the platform is up to us.

Is the platform ready for the droves of new Steemians?

Although not all of us are Steemians last night, we have seen the growing number of people getting interested in Steemit. In1cluding the difficulty that most of them are having in account creations. Does this hinder the growth of the platform?

Dragos have this to say that it is actually good for the platform in a way that this huge number are really being checked by Steemit Inc. preventing creations for bots, among other things. In that regard yes, but i have friends who are still awaiting approval for ages. In saying that, i also have friends, family members and colleagues who have accounts, yet with no intro posts to this day.

Push it, push it some more?

@teodora working  on her magic!

There is an abundance brought on by the platform. For the newbies who have had no traction as yet, like everywhere else, they are in need of support. 

There was a meeting i think on MSP after Steemfest last year, that time, they were talking about "member retention". There is also a promo-steem going around, not just in UK but everywhere.

Personally, both are of the same importance. From our experience in Steemit Philippines Family, promotion is way easier, account creation is the opposite. And retention? There's not much of an issue with this one.

Here in UK might just be something else. The beauty now is in the number, IT IS GROWING.
