Vlog #105: Steemfest 2 is in a month + SF 1 memories + Crypto not buying regrets.

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

A month from now it's time for Steemfest 2!

How the world of crypto has changed since then. Pretty unbelievable. Especially the price and functionality.

I remember going to SF1 without much expectation. But it was the most professionally organized event I ever been to.



Some memories:

  1. They gave everyone that attended SF1, 1900 STEEM. That's more than $2000 today! I doubt they do that again :)

  2. I was on the boat with @hilarski and his wife @anahilarski and we were talking crypto. I remember very well him saying I should check out Dash. It was a solid coin. It was also trading at $8-10. (now: +$300) (REGRETS! lol)

  3. I arrived at SF1 very early. Walking through the doors of the main event @ezzy and @rea thought I was part of the event. He was wrong I was just a visitor like them. We are friends to this day and talk almost every day.

  4. The food was great.

  5. SF1 convinced me that STEEM could be a gamechanger and made me start to invest more time and money into it.

Every time I think about SF1 I also think about not buying Dash. Luckily I did buy STEEM but still. I was wondering if you have any stories of not buying regrets.

Dtube


Every time I make a vlog I try to upload to Dtube first. With Firefox and Chrome. Today I got this far. But after pressing post it tells me I have to upload a video first. I'm in contact with the devs trying to sort this.

See you at SF2... let's make some new memories! :)

See you there! I'm sure new memories will be made!

Awesome stuff mate really wonderful. It really is changing the world the future looks bright. Thanks a mil for the update. Cheers ;)

Hey my bro! Man, thanks so much for the awesome trip down memory lane! And what a "lane" it is, right? I still remember oh-so-clearly how in awe we all were at the level of production, scale and sheer "fun" factor of the event. @roelandp did such a phenomenal job (if that wasn't already mentioned at some point, lol.)

But man, how strange that we just happened to be the first at the entrance to the venue, only to get chatting afterwards and now become such good friends. A completely unexpected turn of events, but what an absolutely welcome one at the same time! To the point that it actually feels weird typing a comment to you on here when I know our standard mode of communication is now "audible speech", lol!

If that doesn't illustrate the potential connective social powers of Steemit, I don't know what will!

Fantastic post, my bro. Can't wait to meet up with you again next month and continue on with the good times. To forged life long friendships and a "shit tonne" of steem power, lol!

Nice one, pal! :)

shit tonne lol 😂

Valuable post.
SF2 will be great.
keep us updated.
thanks.

I am very sure that even SF2 will be beneficial to you just like SF1... Good Luck!

Thank you.

I wish I can make it to this SF2, I have never been to a very developed conference of such, and I am a crypto lover, I lover everything behind it. Please do not forget to share your experience with us, and any information of a coin that can change lives, we are willing to hear from you. thank you.

Maybe I will attend SF3, you never know. I faced the same issue uploading on Dtube as well. All I did is refresh the page and upload again. Then it worked for me.

Thanks, I'll try that next time.

AHHHH!!! This makes me want to go to Steemfest! I live in the uk and Im busy on the 1st Nov....so its probably too crazy...... also I don't have the money, but Im just loving the community so much, I can just feel what a great experience its going to be!

don't worry i'll be blogging as a brit. i was super lucky i won a ticket to go! :)

I remember how sorry you were that you had to go back (I believe it was Saturday night) to have a party in your hometown. Now your friends are all members of Steemit. Now they would understand your urge to be at Steemfest!!

Water under the bridge now!

Good memories @exyle and I have a good memory, too, is connected with crypto-currencies, or rather I was just a guy with simple interests, then I heard about crypto-currencies and caught fire with them realizing that this could completely change my life. Now I'm constantly on the road in the world of crypto-currency and I never regretted it :)

I know what you mean. They have been on my mind since I got involved in 2013.

I hope you will bring your camera at Steem Fest 2 :)

They gave 1900 STEEM to visitors last year! Damn, should've been an early adopter. Well, at least I bought some DASH and Ethereum around that time, so no regrets on missing out on 30-50 cent STEEM.

Good buys on Dash and Eth!

nice video @exyle, yes the steemfest2 is no doubt a fantastic experience for all, i hope you guys really enjoy it this time also like you enjoyed it last time and yes your right decision at right time pays off, you make another excellent decision at that time to buy some steem and now it turns out to be a fantastic decision, you also talk about dash coin and yes it is also fantastic coin and no doubt both steem and dash produce goods results if we hold them for long term, so steemfest2 it's not long away from now, excitements are high, wish you a fantastic steemfest2 my friend, thanks for sharing

See you at SF2... let's make some new memories! :), carry on

you are going to SF2? fantastic. i can't wait to say hello and meet you, love ya blogs man.

Do we have stories of regrets... Ha! Seems I am always the one to buy at the top, and sell at the bottom... So, I finally committed a lot to Steemit, to force myself to HODL.

Nice VLOG, I hope I can make it to Steemfest this time.

Some great views....

hahaha not only you buddy !

How does it feel to be an early adopter ? Admittedly I came to the party a little late, but given the growth that Steemit is going at, no doubt I will soon also become an old bird, can't wait !

Yeah, you still early man, don't worry.

I feel there will be improvement in steemfest2. Probably there will be a 2000 steem giveaway.😀😀

I think this years event also will be a great one. Hope you all will have a nice time. Yes steemit has come a long way and i am very happy to be a part of it
Cheers

@exyle - I wish one day i can participant this event :) You had wonderful memories of it Sir <3 Nice you decided to share those memories Sir <3

@exyle,
"They gave everyone that attended SF1, 1900 STEEM. That's more than $2000 today! I doubt they do that again :)"
Are you serious :O That would be a great gift ever! OMG I lost it :/
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences with us!

Cheers~

Back then it wasn't worth as much!

Not having the foresight in 2009 to mine BTC will always be a regret! I built my own rigs back then and had a couple of nice machines that would have done the job very nicely!

Steemfest is a big unknown to me, but your blog and words from others make me think it's going to be an awesome few days. 1800 Steem would make me a dolphin but I'm not holding my breath!

Have a good day man!

The first time I heard about Bitcoin I just put it away as nonsense in my mind so don't feel bad :) Only later when I took the time and realized what it was truly was I saw it's potential. By then it was $250 each.

$250 still looks super cheap today!

The disappointment is less these days knowing I'm building Steem which I hope will bring us great times in the coming years 😁

Regrets? Yes, many.

Only learning about Steem in May 2017 and not sooner is one of them. But, I think it's never too late to do the right things!

I think you can still consider yourself early to the party.

have the best time in Steemfest 2 and this time have no regrets buddy :)

Dash was a great choice too but no worries you have steem it will grow double than dash lets hope so and looks like steemfest will be great again enjoy :)

Dash has done a great job with the DAO governance. Its starting to really show. Interesting times coming ahead for the release of Dash Evolution and the Steem STM's.

Those are really great memories. I wish I could also be a part of it. This steemfest2 will come with lot more surprises and you will love it more than the previous one.

Cool memories from SF1, 1900 STEEM, not too shabby (-: ... but why 1900?

I think the plan was to give away 1000STEEM at first but then the price dropped so much in the months leading to the event they made it 1900. I'm not sure but that's what I think.

Looking at the growth in Crypto over the last year, everyone wishes they would have bought more. This time last year Dash was at $10 and ETH $10 now both are worth 30X more at $300 a coin. I think ETH and Dash have best fundamentals for longterm price growth. Personally, I loaded ETH last year when it was around $10 and its changed my life - well on paper at least. However, I could have bought Dash master nodes and done even better with the payouts. Next year this time it will be similar I think. Damnit if we'd just bought more crypto early on but even today is early on if crypto fundamentally changes the world. One day next year you'll see $3000 Dash and $3000 ETH. Steem will also be much higher than today depending upon how SMT's go.

I bought my first ETH for around $2. Also should have bought more but o well...in hindsight it's all so easy :)

Exyle, if we could only go back in time... LOL. Wow, you were super early buying ETH at $2. I came after the DAO hack and starting cost averaging in all the way till last Christmas. It worked out well so far and the future looks bright to possibly hit a trillion valuation one day. I love Steem too!

Looks really out there the fall started to have begun :D, You have lots of cool memories for the steem fest 1 and thanks for sharing your experiences and really awesome to know some amazing things and everyone has regrets in crypto of not buying anything it can happen every single day :D and
Just keep your hopes who knows what surprise are lined up ,you never know :D

 I doubt they do that again :) 

It was a great vlog Steemfest 1 had so much of the memories i hope this one will be more grand than before and share your experience later with all steemians :)

best of luck for sf2 rock on ! exyle 😍 much love 4 u

Make some awesome memories once again have the bestest day in your life the countdown begins :D

If I have any regrets at all, it's that I didn't get involved in the blockchain world any sooner ^^

Being able to take everything in and see and feel the project and community I imagine was incredible and made it very real for you. I love the way you describe how professional and first class everything was done. That speaks volumes about Steem Inc and the organization as a whole.

Watching and reading your blog/vlog has been one of the primary ways I've learned about Steem and crpyto currency in general. I thank you for the time and effort you put in b/c it's been incredibly valuable to me. I trust your opinion, and that says a lot b/c I'm extremely skeptical about everything until I've done my due diligence. Hearing you talk about how incredible Steem Fest 1 was just bolsters my confidence in the platform to be a leader in block chain technology in the future.

Don't fret about not losing all the fat brother. You have to live and enjoy yourself too. You've made incredible progress in a very short amount of time and are enjoying the new lifestyle you've created, I think that's the most important thing. Have a great night brother!!

will SF2 will do anuthing about the price? Will we lure more investors?

Oooooh man I would like to come at SF2 but can't :(
About the story my dad wanted to buy bitcoin in 09 I think. It was under 1 dollar and wanted to buy something like 2/300 but didn't. Yeah that sucks XD

an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency that aims to be the most user-friendly and most on-chain-scalable cryptocurrency in the world. On top of Bitcoin

I am looking forward to the coverage but I will sadly not be able to attend this year. I am however doing some promotion this weekend if you would be so kind as to help me...

Sir you shared awesome information i hope that you should upvote me because i am new on this platform

its a very helpful post, thank you :)

These are great memories mate! I wish I could attend SF2 and meet all these amazing steemians, but just can't do it now...I will be opening a grill restaurant same day! But i will surely follow the event and enjoy from afar!
