They Don't Know It, But I Almost Cried

Today I met with some local ex pats here in Acapulco. It was a fun meetup with good conversation and good food. I really enjoyed discussing the local area and my plans. Of course, the question of what I was here to do came up and I discussed some ideas I have related to jiu jitsu, bitcoin, anarchapulco, some websites, etc.

I decided to head down to the beach to cool off afterwords. I didn't even make it to the water. At all. I spent about 1 hour talking to a group of young ladies and men who surrounded me right as I arrived.

One girl walked up to me and asked if I spoke Spanish, and I replied a little, but not very much yet. She asked if I knew English. I wasn't sure what she wanted because so many of them started to walk up after her and they were all smiling and laughing. She wasn't trying to sell me anything, which is what can happen a lot in these scenarios. Her and her friends wanted to practice their English!

It was a very fun conversation where we discussed what our names were, where I was from, if I was here with my family, if I was married or had a girlfriend. One young lady complimented my blue eyes, and another girl wanted to hook me up with her aunt. It was very light hearted and fun. They asked what I thought about Acapulco and why I was here.

I told them I quit my job and moved here because I love Acapulco and the people and I have some plans here. I asked them if they had ever heard of bitcoin. They all said no. I asked them if they used social media such as fb, Twitter or IG. Of course they do, they are in high school. So I told them as my Spanish gets better I plan to teach classes to people their age on the importance of the internet, digital currency and how they can earn on social media.

Some of them asked to add me on FB. We'll see if they do. If I get the invites, I'm going to host a Meetup to teach them all about Steemit and the apps they can use to earn.

They were so full of life and energy. They made me feel welcome. They wanted to practice English. They were an amazing event today!

Now that is solid. Can you imagine living in a paradise teaching people how to leverage block chain and make money? The BJJ could fit into the mix really well but you are like a Steemit missionary now.

I had no idea you actually moved down there. Congrats!

Yes! I really think it's important to spread the message of digital currency, steemit, love, and freedom to this age group specifically. Every chance I get, I will send this message to the youth here. They have the drive to use this tech to make their lives better.

That's awesome man. Looks like you're really enjoying it. Hope your doing good. Make sure to keep us up to date with what you're up to.

Very cool bro!

Great work of spreading the word 💯🐒

Good to know that these conversations literally moved you, and in my opinion i can feel after reading that, their conversations made you cry with happy essence because i can feel the smiles in that picture and that's the beauty of life, we never know on which moment where we will go, with whom we will going to talk and how we will going to feel.

But, good to know that you had some fun time and discussed about the Acapulco. I want to wish you great future ahead, as you said you left your job because you love this Acapulco work. So, i hope and wish that you will get great heights in life.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Cool story!

That is warm my heart
