Spreading the Word

Yesterday I set off at 6.30am to go to Cheltenham to speak to a group at the University of Gloucestershire about Steemit.

It's quite a trek, but It was a great session from my point of view. For one thing it really helped me focus on what's most important to communicate to people about what we're doing here and about the broader blockchain/crypto world. It was also interesting to hear what questions people come up with in response. These questions are moving from "can this work?" to "how does this work and what does it mean anyway?" and on the way to "I wonder how we can use this to help us get done what we want to do."

It was different from the session I expected to run, mainly because the group were mainly faculty members rather than students (though one brave student came and another was represented by her note-taker). So these are people who think all the time about the music business, how it works and how it could work better.

We're going to meet again next week to work on something like "how could we use a platform such as the Steem blockchain to help music students learn in a practical way about new business models?"

Should be fun! I will report back of course.
