Preaching blockchain and its application is not a new thing for me. I have been doing this for a while. However, because of space issues, I stopped for some weeks. I created a bigger space within my office that can take 30 people, so we are on again. Also, I want to use physical means before expanding to reach more people online. There are only millions of crypto users in the world and we all can drive in more people to reach the billions.
Because this is the first day of the event, there was not much turnout. I did not make much announcement about it. I used a few online platforms with no paid promotion and tweeted about it. Someone came in yesterday because of this tweet and I think at least it was effective.
It was a tasking day for me. Despite I stated that people should make it there by 1 pm, most people came after 2 pm. So, I had to start late because any part of the blockchain should not be missed.
I started with explaining money evolution, why blockchain, the failures of the Lehman brothers. How Satoshi Nakamoto started and the first block of bitcoin on January 3, 2009. I moved the purposes, benefits of blockchain, and the aspects that could seem like the disadvantages.
Then I move to crypto types, Bitcoin, Altcoin, Tokens, Stable, and the NFT. I dived in this properly. I used Hivepunk, Rarible, Wax and Opensea to explain NFTs, what gives them value and why people are buying and selling. I also explain Splinterland. Then we moved to Metaverse and what the future web will look like. Web 2 gives us the power to communicate from a distance. Web 3 will even bring us together. We will live in the virtual world and everything will look super real. I recommended games like, Fortnight and movies- Ready Player One and Free Guy so that people will understand what is about to happen in the Metaverse.
Then I moved to my beloved Hive. I can’t talk about blockchain and don’t Hive. I explained how Hive works. The potentials. The purpose - freedom, privacy, and truth. How earning works and the greatest offence which is plagiarism.
We finished around 4:30 pm and people that stayed behind took some photos for documentation.
