Steemit Connecting People: Meeting In New York

in #meetup7 years ago (edited)

Yes, steemit doesn't only provide a technologically and ideologically innovative space where people from all over the world are able to value, appreciate and reward content.

This network also builds a bridge between the digital world and real life.

Steemit connects people.

Spontaneous Meeting In New York

80 degrees, sun's burning and New York is pumping more than ever.

In the middle of this "concrete jungle where dreams are made of" (and where I traveled to being on vacation) I had the great opportunity to meet some really cool people: Steemians.

Thanks for organizing our get together, @dreemit! I'm so happy we finally met in person.

"It's that we only know each other from the internet and today we meet for the first time in real life."

@hansikhouse trying to explain our childish and loud excitement to a stranger 😆

Maybe it's generally complicated to understand from the outside what steemit has done to all of us.

It's a new mindset.

Since yesterday I definitely know that we're all fallen for this project in the same manner.

Steemit is an anchor for dreams.

Probably we natively don't speak the same language, didn't grow up on the same continent, have different skin colors or a different background.

So what?!

We are able to connect at once because we've got this anchor. We've got infinite things to talk about because our world is extremely exciting and colorful.

We're all part of this future plan.

So today I'm not only flashed by this amazing city which I'm visiting for the first time in my life, but also by its people.

Thanks for the time, guys!

It's been a blast and lot of fun meeting you. See you in Lisbon!

To all the other Steemians: YES, it's real. This community rocks on all channels!

Big hugs & kisses from New York 😍
Marly -

PS: The amazing and lovely @dreemit (love you much sweetie!!) is preparing a more detailed report of our meeting with more pictures. So stay tuned 😉

How awesome to put faces to the user names! The human connections are what Steemit is really all about!

I couldn't agree more Eric! Building bridges between the digital and the real world is definitely amazing. To be continued at Steemfest 😉👍

Hahahahaha
Safe travels Marly! Make sure you and @knircky win millions at the slot machines.

And put it all in Steem!(and buy us all places in steemit park!)

Haha excellent plan hon 😍

Hee hee, I thought you'd like it ;)

Hahahah high risk?! That's even crazier than buying Steem at $4 😆✌🏿️

It's amazing to see people from all over the world coming together, people with different stories and backgrounds but with the same vision and interests.
I believe this is the true meaning of Steemit and this is why Steemit has a bright future! :)

I totally agree @nikolina! That's one of the untouchable assets of steemit, there is no doubt about that.

I feel the same, I think it's the first time I've been giddy about something in quite some time! I love how you said 'childish excitement', that's exactly how it felt! XO
