How can I not relate when I was actually a participant? How the heck do I deal with stress and busy schedule and not write about this meet-up which took place three days ago.
It was a bright Saturday morning when I decided to check out my whatsapp messages, I accessed our Uyo Spend hbd group and realized that @ijelady had scheduled a whatsapp meeting for 8pm in the evening.
At due time, I tried joining the meeting buh met some difficulties, it was raining so I guess it affected the network. After so much trials, I finally joined while the meeting was in progress with other participants on board like @chydolar1, @killgate, @ogechukwu, @unkleb4life, @preciou-z and the list continues
What was discussed
- Our mentor emphasized othe need to appreciate hive's leverage by onboarding and recruiting members, the world needs to learn about this goodness, besides there's no recruitment restriction which members must attain as criteria.
With hive's leverage, users are given ample opportunities to hop on while making diversified choices. For instance, with #spendhbd community, users cam actually shop at ease while earning cashbacks, #wednesdaywalk community, users can post their tours and walks, #food community gives foodlovers the opportunity to showcase homemade meals while others learn, #motherhoodcommunity gives mothers the audience to air their opinions, views and experiences and a host of other communities open to one and all.
- "Consistency is the key" was emphasized, the need to show up regularly on the blockchain with quality posts, building connections by engaging with others and gaining familiarity on the blockchain.
- The need to embrace projects on hive such as the current existing #spendhbd project which leverages survival and betterment of the lives of many. I can vividly remember when hive spearheaded borehole drilling in Ghana helping the indigenes to access clean and treated water at their beck and call.....how thoughtful to save humanity.
Why hive tops the list in the blockchain world
Hive is a decentralized blockchain not controlled by a single entity, thus there's no implementation of authority
Hive is built with diversification in view as users can make posts via different frontends like ecency, inleo, etc.
The numerous communities enhances flexibility as users can make posts anywhere and anytime they feel comfortable
That being said, the meeting gradually came to an end with an open session entertaining questions which were answered, chit-chat and pleasantries were exchanged and I logged out by 9pm, a 30 minutes meeting ended 1 hour later due to factors like network etc.
The meeting was worthwhile, I really hoped to attend the Sunday workshop but I couldn't as I had to travel back to school. Will endeavor to attend as much as I can whenever I'm on holidays
