Sadly the only one of those guys I've been so far is the one who spent hours creating a blog post for it to be ignored. No problem though... it's early days for me

Was nice meeting you too. I couldn't make the last meet up but I'll see you for the one in January hopefully

Thanks @demotruk. I later figured out that it is Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) like Steem. Here is an explanation for anyone else

Well done...life is too short to be postponing these decisions. Something similar for myself in 2018 would be amazing

Thanks for sharing this about the possible nefarious agenda behind the Lightning Network. But something that wasn't clear to me...why will the transactions fees be prohibitive to getting coins back out

I liked the vending machine analogy. I'll use it when explaining smart contracts to others

I think segwit and lightening network actually maintain the integrity of the original Bitcoin vision. They are off-chain additions that leave the Bitcoin core untouched. The on-chain changes and evolution

Great post laying out a bullish viewpoint on BTC without the obligatory caveat at the end of each paragraph. @tracemayer presents his opinion, backed by data and is not qualifying every point with a warning

V enjoyable meetup and great intro to Steem and Steemit by @demotruk

Wherever can mobilise the developers will have a great chance of being successful. Without that it'll just be marketing and promotion without any real substance. Wouldn't it be great to see a killer blockchain
