Tonight we had the second Blockchain Meetup in Uppsala, which at the same time served as the first Steemit Meetup. I think I might have mentioned it in one or two of my previous posts on Steemit.

Tonight we were seven people, having good time and geeking out over beer and burgers in the cozy Buddy’s Irish Pub in the central Uppsala. (Buddy’s Irish Pub, BIP, get it? Upvote if you do! ;)) Five out of seven participants already had their Steemit accounts set up, and of those five the majority was actively posting and/or curating.
We talked about a lot of things: Steem Blockchain, posting and curating strategies, ethos and ethics of Steemit, how do STEEM, SteemPower and Steem Dollars all work together, shared a few examples of our favourite posts and authors, and fantasised about kidnapping one of the whales and releasing them only after they have upvoted at least one of each meetup’s members’ posts. (What a great idea, isn’t it? It could surface only after two pints of Guinness.)
All in all, we had a jolly good time, with jokes and laughter interspersing conversations on serious topics. I personally was very happy to see my two good friends, 
Here’s to more meetups like this one in the near future and to the long-term success of Steemit!
