Massive Steemit Meetup
Held last night - downtown Buenos Aires, Argentina
I posted notice a week or so ago here on Steemit and though only 50 registered, we had well over 75 in attendance.
If you are on Meetup.com, see the attendees on their page here. See if you know any one who showed up, or read their comments.
Held at the Bitcoin Center (esppacio bitcoin) which is owned and operated by the founders of the Bitcoin Foundation in Argentina with a big iron mesh bitcoin logo stamped in the door.
Inside, there are three floors of offices, meeting rooms and bitcoin-based businesses and office space.
A quiet place to work, where you have phones and high speed internet.
Things warmed up with Diego Z. giving a brief explanation of bitcoin for those who don't know about blockchain technology.
Afterwards, there was a 20 minute break to chat and grab a bite - Empenadas for ฿0.00168 each! such a deal.
Finally we started the meeting with a presentation on Steemit - given by
- Great job Matias!
He covered starting an account, the tools page, the varying liquidity of SD, SP and Steem. He also familiarized everyone with voting rewards, payment for content, and we even took a look at 
There were many others with more professional equipment snapping pictures, and I am sure that content will also make it's way to Steemit soon. I spoke to 
Some of the other topics covered centered around usage and language issues. Most people here can navigate web sites in English to get started with Steemit, but as is happening in Asia and Germany, posts can be bilingual or even tagged in Spanish.
The best was that people had the concept of Steemit explained in their own language by those of us using it. All discussion was nothing but positive.
