Our goal with our events is to grow the Steemit community, particularly throughout the Philippines, and to educate newcomers on how to best contribute to the Steemit platform!
We had a wonderful event just 1 week ago as many of you have seen in pictures, heard about, or discussed. There was a great post about it here. Well, the hype from the first event just raised the interest in #teamphilippines even more and another event has already been planned and scheduled just 1 month from now!
This Is Fantastic!
Our wonderful #teamphilippines member @luvabi or as some call her "Miss Abby". Has taken it upon herself to organize this event for everybody in #teamphilippines and to help make the 2nd Steemfest TeamPhilippines even bigger than the first! We thank you so much for all of your effort @luvabi you are fantastic and doing so much to help us to grow and improve as a team!
TeamPhilippines Is Growing Rapidly!
With this rapid growth, there are a ton of questions being asked again and again by our fellow #teamphilippines members so that they can get the most out of steemit as well as properly contribute as part of the team. Some of these questions include:
- How to use Markdown
- What is a blockchain and why is it important?
- What are the basics of being a developer on for or around steemit
- What should i write about, should I include personal pictures? Is it safe?
- How do I earn from Steemit are you sure it's not a ponzi scheme?
- How can I cash out my steem and sbd/Steem Dollars into Philippines Pesos?
- What are whaleshares and Whalevotes?
- What are Steem Tools and how do I use them?
- What is MinnowSupport and should i be involved?
We are still confirming additional speakers and if you are interested in contributing please let us know in the comments. Video conferencing is possible, but in person is obviously preferred!
Here is our list of confirmed speakers and contributors thus far:
- @sasha.shade TeamPhilippines welcoming remarks, primer on development.
- @haleyaerith T-shirts with the well known @TeamPhilippines logo from the first event and @teamphilippines account.
- @deveerei T-Shirts with a sick illustration of a steempunk anime character for the Steemit hero Aqua Minnow
