RE: Steemit Bootcamp @ Sunway Nexis - Recap
A notable difference between team malaysia and the sub-community of mine is that most people around you are at least in their 30s (Im almost 40) but most around me in the sub-community are mostly in their early 20s.
Most people here in Hong Kong over 30 years olds are reluctant to new technologies and many of them, narrow-minded, think steemit is a scam.
Actually, we have @digitalmind who is way beyond the 40s and is in the bootcamp room.
I think it has nothing to do with age, it has everything to do with complacency.
And also with China not favouring crypto currency it has instilled limitations to your country perhaps?
Nevertheless I think besides the technologies, it is more of the spirit wanting to build a better community together is vital. Because when the heart is right, the sky is the limit.
Thank you so much for stopping by and giving your valuable feedback @prch !
Oh yeah, you nailed it. Decentralised blockchains and cryptocurrenices can be politically incorrect in the largest Asian country, you know what I'm saying. But Hong Kong, to date, has no internet censorship, unlike her Mainland Chinese cousins (I'm not sure when freedom'd vanish into thin air in Hong Kong).
And the thirst and hunger for learning new things and doing things at the next level is what keeps people, no matter their ages, exploring and learning. I have respect for you people at team malaysia, particularly those over 30s who may have been already successful in real life but still don't mind accepting steemit that is extremely new (compared with facebook and free forums) and dedicating time to it.
Isn't there a Chinese saying,
(Learn while you grow - older)
This was the teaching that my teacher always reminds us during the childhood days, and it is important for those especially seniors to keep learning so that their brain have less potential to fall prey to illness like dementia.
Taking side with you.
