3rd November, 2018 is a day I won't forget in a hurry. It was a great time out. Learnt new stuff and was able to put a face to the names I've come to know on the platform and also promote whaleshares to new people.

The meet up

The program which was hosted by the beautiful sushie@sushie started with introduction of attendees, after which agbona@agbona (MET ambassador Nigeria) took us through the basics of BEAM.

What is Beam? By Agbona Beam is a new token, about 3 months old. It's a privacy token (can't be traced/not open source), it's peer to peer transaction. It provides anonymity and access to data of organizations. MimbleWimble is from harry potter series and it's the name of the protocol on which BEAM is based.

This presentation was concluded with a Skype call from Dylan Dewdney (BEAM) who said a few words Yoruba and made it clear that it wouldn't be possible without the internet.

Next, we had the Groot pangoli@pangoli (who turned out to be a teddy bear and not a tree) walk us through the past, present and future of steem. I learnt more about DApps through his presentation. He also talked about HIVEMIND and communities.

SLAU exchange had a chat session moderated by pangoli@pangoli about crypto trading; what to look out for when buying a coin, when to HODL and when to sell.

There was also a panelist discussion session with samest@samest of @wls-africa/BDT and dante31@dante31 of promo-mentors and project curie@curie moderated by jotmax@jotmax of candidarticle.com on the differences between whaleshares and steemit; it was a really interesting discussion as there were contributions from attendees (marshalllife@marshalllife and tezzmax@tezzmax).

The Meetup was brought to a closure with a great delivery from MET Token founders Kyle Frondriest and Matt Winstead on Skype.
