I continue my (non-linear) tale of the #SteemP2PTour
With our journey to Steem Park.
With our journey to Steem Park.
On September 16th, @wolfcat and I met up with another Minnesota compatriot, "lildumplin" for the next leg of our journey as we were preparing to set off for Iceland, however, the flight was oversold and we ended up needing to spend the night in New York. I reached out to family in Brooklyn, and they graciously agreed to host us for the evening. And so we spent the night in Brooklyn and the following day we were scheduled to fly out, Odin willing, to Iceland!
In the meanwhile we had the whole day ahead of us since the flight wasn't until evening, and so we determined to set off to make the journey to STEEM PARK the first public design project fully funded by cryptocurrency. STEEM PARK is a park within a park, which was conceived of and executed by designers Kirk Finkel @voronoi and Michael Lee @hansikhouse.
The ephemeral becomes tangible
I'm a big believer that if cryptocurrency can't emerge from the world of the abstract and affect the world of the tangible, it will be of limited use as a benefit to humanity. In my estimation, Steem itself is really the first blockchain based project with any real tangible impact on users who come from outside the world of cryptocurrency, and so to see it begin to give rise to "real-world" projects in physical spaces, well that just takes the cake! as they say.
Once we made it to STEEM PARK we wanted to leave a little token of our having been there, but since there was no guest book of any kind I took it upon myself to transform a box of toothpicks into a #steemcache for anyone to leave a little note or object when they visit the park. You'll have to watch the video to see where we left it!
Well without further ado, here's a fun little video of our journey to STEEM PARK!
I hope you too get to make a journey to STEEM PARK if you're in the Brooklyn / NYC area! Stop by, leave a note, and make a post!
In Detroit with @agoric.systems
I'm currently in the city of Detroit with the rest of the Agoric Systems crew, working on a project we hope will have a positive impact on the Steem community. Details of which will be unveiled at Steem Fest 2. Check out the Agoric Systems witness proposal, and consider voting agoric.systems for witness, to help support our efforts on behalf of the Steem blockchain!
Stay tuned for further adventures!
All the best,

Well, @voronoi and @hansikhouse took the initiative to raise funds to create the park through posting about their plan and vision. They organized and got the location and the team they needed to make it happen. You could be the first to 'fork' Steem Park in another part of the world, and I think Nigeria would be a great place!

Hey lovejoy,
Loved the video. Even with all the flight rubbish, it looks like you had a great time anyway.
I hadn't heard of Steem Park before but it looks great and is just another example of the power that crypto gives by offering financial services to ALL.
Good luck and see you around :)

It's always an adventure with the airlines these days... perhaps a fleet of sailboats is in order. ;)
Thanks for your comment! And yes, Steem Park and similar initiatives which leverage the power of the blockchain to the benefit of all, I believe, is the way of the future.
Onward. :)

Hey buddy, nice video. Maybe if things really take off there could be "Steem Air" and you'd have enough clout to never miss a flight again.
