That Post SteemFest Feeling

avatar

I didn't attend SteemFest in Bangkok this year, but if it was anything like Kraków, then I'm sure I know how some of the attendees are feeling right now. There will be some people staying back to explore Bangkok, or even Thailand generally, since it's quite a distance to travel for those that made the journey from Europe and the Americas.

Most attendees, however, would be making their way home, or will have already arrived.

You're still high from the feeling of meeting so many Steemians for the first time, particularly it was your first SteemFest. You've formed new relationships and made new connections that will help you along your Steem journey.

You've been accepted into some awesome circle jerks and you have already started reaping the benefits of it. Those whales and orcas aren't just anonymous names to you anymore, but people you now know.

You're about to buy some Steem if you have the spare money lying around, or some other Crypto you've finally figured out isn't anywhere as good as Steem. Again, this is more the case for first time SteemFest attendees :)

You can't believe it's over so quickly! And "thank God you decided to go". You can't believe missing out on such an event.

You still don't understand Steem Monsters, or Splinterlands, or whatever, but hey, you got some swag. You're looking through the other stuff you got in the bag, and wishing you had gotten more T-shirts - especially in black.

You're feeling a little low now. That's the anticlimax you're feeling. The low that follows every high. Everything seems a little quiet at home, and your work colleagues (if you have any) don't understand. You're looking forward to the next SteemFest and are actually considering organising your own local meetups now just to be around fellow steemians.


So how did I do? Did I miss anything out?

We are all junkies within these sphere. It's what this place has been configured to be. Highes and lows; hypes and silences. It's the cycle of the cryptoshpere.

Sounds about right! I wasn't one of the lucky folk in Thailand this year, but was fortunate enough to be in Lisbon a couple of years back. As for next year… let's hope so!

Off and on ;). I had just joined and was living in Madrid, so I took a punt and got involved… it was a great few days! Hoping to get more involved a bit more again now…

Yes, I am already getting better votes and more comments on all three of my blogs.

I did meet both categories of fish. All were very engaged and listened to my story. Some are voting my posts now and some asked me to send links so they could look at my work. No one talked about circle jerks or asked for my 2 cent vote.

You're about to buy some Steem if you have the spare money lying around, or some other Crypto you've finally figured out isn't anywhere as good as Steem. Again, this is more the case for first time SteemFest attendees :)

No. I have lived off STEEM and STEEM related money since Dec 2017. I feel like MAYBE I will be able to actually pay my $100 a month rent on time now, and possibly be able to eat each and every day. But I am only posting STEEMFest work now and just pray I will still get support when I go back to posting my normal content which focuses on helping tiny fish learn to work here.

You can't believe it's over so quickly! And "thank God you decided to go". You can't believe missing out on such an event.

This has been one of the longest and hardest 1.5 weeks of my life and I will travel starting tomorrow for a two day train/bus ride back to Kuala Lumpur. I do not feel like this is/was over quickly.

But yes, Thank God I got to go. I needed to be in Bangkok anyway for these dates due to my Visa needs. But I only won the conference fee 10 days before the event. All my plans of standing outside of venues did not have to happen.

I am already putting STEEM into my STEEM wallet savings each time I claim rewards. I plan to go next year, and will do everything to make it work. I was here for 2 and 3, but had no resources to even consider trips to Europe.

You still don't understand Steem Monsters, or Splinterlands, or whatever, but hey, you got some swag.

Yes, yes, yes! I am so excited to have met @nateaguila and get the connection to ask my many questions. I will start next week and have many posts to help me and my friends. This is the best result ever!

You're looking through the other stuff you got in the bag, and wishing you had gotten more T-shirts - especially in black.

No, I do not wear tee shirts and will be giving mine to friends on TeamMalaysia who want them and did not get to go. About 75% of the rest is cool, and I will use it.

You're feeling a little low now.

Not at all. Other than tired - instead I am energized about STEEM and progress and way forward.

So how did I do? Did I miss anything out?

You missed the part where I learned about a lot of STEEM projects I did not know about before, (or filled gaps in knowledge) and now have material for many weeks of posts. Many small and newer fish ask for my help, and now I have so much more that will be be of use.

Maybe we will get to meet next year :)

Wow, epic response, thank you.
You're probably a little unique and quite different from the average Steemian though :) . You've been here a while and seen a lot haha.

Haha! That's me! "unique and quite different." Most people do not say this so nicely though, lol :)
