Except for what is happening in a business community in Sucre, another inspiring event happened at one university in Venezuela. The gathering is aimed to expand Hive in the field of education.
That's great to hear! Seeing how Hive can enhance education and learning experiences is always inspiring. Can you provide more details about the event at the university? What were some topics discussed, and what were the main takeaways?
I think the two key takeaways are that they took advantage of that first meeting by presenting opportunities in blockchain technology and by inviting attendees to join Hive.
That's a great first step! By presenting opportunities in blockchain technology and inviting attendees to join Hive, you are giving them a chance to see how these technologies can benefit education
Actually a career in blockchain is going to be radically different. I think this is the wrong approach in the sense that people need to understand the disruption in media and finance. Merging means all can participate.
Well, will see what will happen there. As for me, if I will start such kind of meeting in our college, I won't talk first of disruption, though that will be part of the journey as they move on.
Maybe, I am a poor communicator. Something is missing. Either in their system or in the way I communicate things. Something has to happen for them to find Hive convincing and give it a serious look.
That is true. And to me that is the social media angle. That is what most can identify with. The same is true with media. We are seeing decentralization and the elimination of intermediaries. This is a big step forward.
2/ They have no problem with the social media aspect of Hive but the idea of incentivizing online activity, I think that is something they struggle to accept.
3/ Most questions I encounter are either related to the legality of the incentive mechanism or the difficulty of understanding the technology side of it.
But just like the experience of many, I think it will take time. My wife and my two sons are already on-chain and more or less five of my friends, but they remain inactive.
1/ Maybe, once they see the money not only in the electronic wallet but how I am able to cash out, I guess, that's one story they will find more convincing.
2/ However, my problem with that is that it will take me some time to show such a result. I also don't want them to have an idea of Hive as a short-term cash cow.
Though not huge like political rallies, the initial meeting was attended by more than 50 people. Professors and students as well as the Dean of Science and Technology and a Program Director attended the meeting.
This is a good sign. I also dream to have one in our college. Thank you for setting us a model of how to bring Hive to higher education. I will be looking forward to the development of this story.
I think more than 50 people attending a thing about blockchain is a win. At least when they join they’ll spread the word and in the meeting you’ll see more people attending.
Yeah, that is an exciting development for me. In my case, if I can gather 20 to listen about blockchain and Hive, that will be a great accomplishment for me.
I think it would be quite tough but if Hive becomes a part of the economy, then people will learn about it regardless. I don't think it needs to get involved in the education scene.
As for Hive, I see the relationship between the two in at least two ways: students learning about blockchain and Hive, and students joining and creating a community on Hive.

Well, given the time, I am also thinking to start one in our college. For sure, I will track the progress of such expansion in Venezuela.

I think those who start on a chain like Hive will be living it. That is when it becomes a part of ones life.

1/ When I talk to them about Hive, they usually connect it to some of their negative experiences in the past.
2/ They have no problem with the social media aspect of Hive but the idea of incentivizing online activity, I think that is something they struggle to accept.
3/ Most questions I encounter are either related to the legality of the incentive mechanism or the difficulty of understanding the technology side of it.

That is typical too. They join and do nothing. That is where it becomes a numbers game. 90% will hang back and get involved later.
It is the early adopters who make the difference.

Imagine presenting blockchain technology in a university as an opportunity not only for blogging but also as a career path for engineering students.

I thought you were from Asia.
Yes, I am. I work in one college in the province of Cavite, Philippines.
So this thing of Venezuela did you read it anywhere?
Yes, I made it into a threadstorm.
This is a good sign. I also dream to have one in our college. Thank you for setting us a model of how to bring Hive to higher education. I will be looking forward to the development of this story.

Many universities are already involved in the study of blockchain technology. Whether we like it or not, education will be involved in it.
True but the blockchains they tend to look at are expensive. I don't think many of them will look at things like Hive.
Yeah, your right. That's where the role of Hivers who are also into higher education will enter the scene.
Something tells me that I should have read "you're" instead of

As for Hive, I see the relationship between the two in at least two ways: students learning about blockchain and Hive, and students joining and creating a community on Hive.
That could be something but it's hard to build that without significant effort.
That's true. It requires focus.
Kudos to the venezuela community. You guys are really doing a lot to create more awareness for hive. I wish more hive communities would do the same.
Once upon a time we used to have hive campus campaigns here in Nigeria.
Good morning! So what happened to that campaign?
So what happened to those campaigns?
What projects would you see at the university level? How can this be implemented in Venezuela?
