Meet-ups are the heart and soul of any community where people actually realize that they are not alone in the world.
Dan Larimer

When you attend Steemit meet-ups, Steemit becomes more real to you. You get to understand that those people behind those avatars are real people with real stories. You begin to see needs and opportunities that were hitherto hidden from you.

It was when I attended the launching of the first Blockchain center in Ibadan that I met Nathaniel Luz who then invited me to his own cryptocurrency Africa meet-up where I made a Steem Presentation and got some Dash fans into the steem blockchain. Meet-ups are a great way to build a network and gain visibility for your self and your business.

A Meet-up is a great place to learn too. I always learn that I am very unlearned in some areas when I meet other cryptocurrency people. Everyone has something unique. The market is big and vast. No one can know everything. If you are a guru it's a great way to extend your sphere of influence and teach people.

If you are a newbie and you have not attended any meetup, I strongly advise that you do so because it will give you the opportunity to meet with people of great minds who would help you with information that is vital to your growth. You get to interact and make collaborations, build bonds based on shared value and vision. When you attend meet-ups, you will meet people who will challenge and make you sit up and inspire you to do more.

Online Meet-ups

You can also attend online meet-ups. I'm inviting you to a zoom broadcast that is going to be done by @cryptonafrica on the 19th of January, 2018. Check the image below for details

STACH Uyo Giveaway

The STACH is going to be launched on the 20th of January 2018. STACH is Steem Accelerator Hub. Its one of the bests projects and communities right now and I'm proud to be part of it. You can check it out on their blog right here @stach. One of the things that @stach is doing is that it's going to enable free Wi-Fi and electricity at all their Physical locations to support the Steem Blockchain education

I'll be sponsoring at least one Steemians to the Launching of the Steem Accelerator Hub in Uyo. I'm doing this because several people have told me that they want to come but because of distance and money, some of them are now backing out.
