Hive Philippines | 12th Official Meetup in Davao City

We had our 12th official meetup for #HivePhilippines two days ago on Wednesday, and in attendance was Hive account@nathansenn, Hive account@chrisrice, Hive account@emafe, Hive account@jancharlest, Hive account@jemmanuel, Hive account@usveteran, Hive account@viverlie, Hive account@hiddenblade, Hive account@spintwister and Hive account@princesremedies.

The group started with Hive account@usveteran arriving first, followed by Hive account@chrisrice and soon after Hive account@nathansenn. Gerhard Hive account@usveteran mentioned how he is hoping that Steem will help him leave something behind for his wife Hive account@viveralie since he is a bit older than her and right when Hive account@chrisrice was going to address that, Hive account@jemmanuel, Hive account@jancharlest and Hive account@princesremedies arrived in.

• There were two full pizzas there for the group, one purchased by Hive account@emafe and the other one purchased by Hive account@usveteran.
  
  

Upon their arrival, Jaka Hive account@jemmanuel, Jan Hive account@jancharlest and Princes Hive account@princesremedies sat at the far end of the table next to Chris Hive account@chrisrice with Hive account@usveteran inserting with side comments about Hive account@jancharlest being his handsome boy and asking the group to sit in closer so that they could talk to one another.

Hive account@usveteran is definitely the joker of the group and enjoys his sense of humor and it adds some laughter to the meetups. In addition to their weekly meetups, they all participate in a Facebook group chat where they are pretty much interacting daily.

During this meetup there were different discussions at different ends of the table but Hive account@chrisrice introduced some ideas for the Hive-based dApp that some of the members are planning on building. He had some ideas about how to make their app more relevant and an idea of actually make USD$ sales on the Hive blockchain through their dApp

Most of the ideas he shared will not be included in this post since they want to ensure that they are the first to market their ideas but Hive account@princesremedies replied favorably to Hive account@chrisrice's ideas and they've agreed to have a private meeting about it with everyone involved in the creation of the dApp.

One of the things gained from this group was the realization that there needs to be private meetings set at invite only. We didn't take enough pictures to show everyone who was there but there were more people in addition to the ones photoed above, and some of them don't have a Hive account yet.

In addition to that, some of the Steemians who attended are not as hardcore into Hive as Hive account@chrisrice, Hive account@nathansenn, Hive account@jancharlest and others are, so the weekly meetups will be the outreach of #HivePhilippines where everyone and anyone who is aware of the meetups are free to join without charge. The hardcore Hiviens will then have private meetups to discuss the building of Hive-based businesses on the Hive blockchain which will be set to invite only.

Lastly, it was decided that Gerhard Hive account@usveteran would become the curator for Hive account@steem-ph which when combined with the members who trail the upvotes of Hive account@steem-ph, amount to a $0.25 USD upvote. This is the summary of the meetup and I hope you enjoyed reading.
