HIVE Philippines | 5th Official Meetup in Davao City

​

This week the #HivePhilippines group in Davao City had it's 5th official meetup. In attendence was Gerhard Hive account@usveteran, Hive account@viverlie, Hive account@emafe and Hive account@chrisrice. Hive account@nathansenn, the blockchain developer of the group didn't attend since he was in China at the time of the meetup.

The group ate at S&R Pizza again since that is one of Gerhard's favorite places to eat. Hive account@chrisrice and Gerhard started the talk just opening up about their lives, their relationships and Gerhard's prior military service. Since Hive account@nathansenn was absent and Hive account@jancharlest was absent too, the two of them discussed more personal topics as they got to know each other more and shared their stories about life.

After discussing some of Gerhard's life experiences, Hive account@chrisrice shared the game Hive account@brosino with him, and Gerhard logged in and played a few slot machine rounds, all with the idea of someday earning free HIVE on the app.

Gerhard has been a member of the Hive Philippines Group since earlier in the year, but he hadn't purchased any HIVE and hasn't really used any of the apps. He has just tuned into the daily dicussions in the group chat about price movements, cryptocurrencies and the ideas related to starting Hive-based businesses.

Chris and Gerhard also discussed the current low price in HIVE and that's when Gerhard shared that he was planning on buying some HIVE in October. Hive account@chrisrice said they can buy HIVE together at a local 7-Eleven during the next meetup, and Chris offered to help Gerhard get started.

Gerhard actually didn't register his account himself. Hive account@chrisrice used free 'invite' tokens that he earned from Hive account@steem.ninja to register the username Hive account@usveteran for Gerhard, and Hive account@viverlie for his wife. The next goal for the two of them will be for Gerhard to download Hive account@partiko and to start participating in the curation and content production that members Hive account@guruvaj, Hive account@iyanpol12, Hive account@jemmanuel and other standard members participate in. He is intrigued to get started and he'll likely be posting about President Donald Trump, or the Greenbay Packers football team.

That was our meetup #5 and it just goes to show that the meetup can be about blockchain development, cryptocurrencies or just about anything under the sun 😊
