The Steem News @ 28 July 2024 : Meetups, Meetups & More Meetups...

in steem •  5 months ago 

Steem Meetups are popping up everywhere.

A Proposal to use the DAO to buy and burn STEEM is being discussed.

Today's Steem News also includes news and updates about a Meetup in Nigeria in September, a Meetup in Indonesia in September, a Venezuela Meetup next week, Summer SteemFest Korea 2024 in October, inGAN, SteemPro, Steem Lighting Africa, and Contests on Steem...

1. Steem Meetups Everywhere

Steem Meetups are popping up everywhere.

There have already been successful meetups this year in Ciudad Bolívar in Venezuela, in Uyo in Nigeria, and in Seoul in South Korea.

Now there are four more meetups planned for the coming months.

Next up will be a Meetup in Maracaibo in Venezuela on 10 August.

The third weekend of September will see a meetup in in Uyo in Nigeria on Saturday 14 September, and another in North Aceh in Indonesia the following day on Sunday 15 September.

Then over the weekend of Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 October 2024 there will be Summer SteemFest Korea 2024 in Chungcheongnam-do.

2. Using the DAO to burn STEEM...

The idea is currently being discussed to create a proposal to use SBDs from the DAO to buy and burn STEEM.

There are three aspects to the idea...

  1. SBDs should be a stable coin equating to one US dollar. SBDs have been trading much higher than $1 for some time. The aim of the proposal would be to push SBDs down towards becoming a dollar pegged stable coin again.

  2. As the SBD value goes down, the buying and burning of STEEM should increase the value of STEEM. This will be like burnsteem25 but on a much bigger scale.

  3. Reducing the large amount of SBDs currently on the DAO will make it less of a target for an unwanted 'attack' of any kind as discussed by @remlaps recently.

This idea of a proposal to the DAO is still in the early stages of discussion among witnesses and community leaders, and thoughts and contributions are invited from the whole community. @jondoe has made a post about the idea to kickstart the discussion...

When a full Proposal to the DAO is produced it will require the support of the community to vote it above the Return Proposal and become actively funded as has happened with the current development proposal from @the-gorilla.

Pennsif the Witness

After almost 2000 days on Steem I decided it was time to take my contribution to the platform to the next level.

I have therefore set up as a Steem witness... @pennsif.witness

If anyone would like to support what I already do, and what I am planning to do, by giving one of their 30 witness votes to @pennsif.witness I would be hugely grateful.

You can read my full witness announcement here...

@pennsif.witness is now at #19. Thank you to everyone who has voted to help get to this position.

To improve performance developer @faisalamin has now migrated the Firestore to a self-hosted MySQL database...

8. Steem Lighting Africa

              Buying steem with sbd and then burning steem and burning more steem with #burnsteem25 will play a huge role in increasing the value of steem. I guess so!! We are always ready to stand side by side in all kinds of initiatives for the improvement of Steam.

              The more Steam Meetups, the more Steam expands. Good luck to all meetup organizers.

                It's amazing how many meet up there are, but they are a source of interaction and the ability to meet other Steemians. It always leaves pleasant memories.

                  This weekend I will make the report, together with my fellow organizers we decided to postpone the Meet Up to August 24 or 31 due to the current situation in Venezuela, especially regarding the issue of transportation to other states, very unfortunate events have occurred as a result of the presidential elections held on Sunday 28, so for the safety and integrity of the participants we believe it is the best.

                  We have everything organized in terms of the schedule and activities for the event, we are just waiting for the best conditions to carry it out successfully.
