Our First Day in Puerto Rico!
I just put together a quick video showing the crowd at CryptoMixerPR organized by @virtualgrowth and @cybercodetwins. Our fellow Steemian @quinneaker was there as well and spoke on building sustainable communities. He and I had some great conversations. CryptoMixerPR was an amazing event and reality-defying considering the whole thing was planned in a matter of days (!!!!). Hundreds of people showed up! I was asked the day before to be on a panel discussion and then later got slotted for a Blockchain 101 talk (which was hard to give in that environment), then told my talk wouldn't be needed, and then told again (minutes before taking the stage) that I was needed as the next speaker was still in route. It was a little confusing, but I tried to make the most of it and hopefully delivered some value.
I've already met some really cool people and had some great conversations and it's only day 1! The conference hasn't even started yet. :) I've also had a blast hanging out with @sean-king and look forward to doing that more tonight as his daughter will be watching our kids and giving @corinnestokes and I a chance for some adult time at the Blockchain Unbound welcome party.
Oh, I also have to mention, I ran into @mranderson in the airport yesterday who recognized my Steemit shirt! When I introduced myself, he knew who I was as we've interacted before on the blockchain. My son Devon later tried to convince me I'm a celebrity because someone in the airport knew who I was. That turned into a fun conversation with my son, explaining that's not really what celebrity means (nor is that something to strive for). :)
I hope you're having a great day. I wanted to say thank you for all the support on my recent post about selling my business. I also just noticed I'm up over 10,000 followers now. Wow! Thank you again.
Great post, I love PR. Say hi to @virtualgrowth, this guy's on the road constantly!
If you know anyone who wants to help me and the Veniceball crew redo some courts in PR, please let me know. I posted about that a couple of months ago. We all have to play a small part!

Yes to helping to redo some courts in Puerto Rico! Love to talk more about this sometime and coordinate something. Maybe during May 6th to the 10th along with other stuff as more volunteers will be around.
@liotap. that would be a great addition to VBL's efforts!
seems to me that we can all benefit from what others are doing. i see synergies here.
Keep us posted, Luke, I'm stoked to find out what the SOL project is all about over there!
I also love Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
@lukestokes congrats for the 10,000 steemit followes 🎉👍🏼❤️
Devon is right. You are a celebrity now. The celebrity on the steemit. Enjoy the party conferences and discussions.
great post.realy good work.
You sure know a lot of people from steemit. Must be good when you actually meet the people behind these profiles
Such type of trips and meeting such people is really an honour, hope you enjoyed the discussion as well as the trip.
That's funny I was just looking at Puerto Rico this morning where they are saying is about to become a CryptoParadise, but great to see u made it there! 🌴🌞
Puerto Rico looks amazing must be hard to concentrate on work when you're in such a beautiful place
