Eagerness to (L)earn in Web3
I've been following lately for the purpose of my weekly news round up a series of additional accounts. Watching how communities organize and expand in different parts of Venezuela or Ghana is refreshing.
I experienced the same kind of enthusiasm when Splinterlands was exploding, but that was only on the online side.
I believe Leo is very likely to share the same kind of enthusiasm, if the cards are well played.
And I'm only talking about the communities I've been involved with recently to have a feel of the vibe inside the community.
What these guys and gals are doing is a mixture of online and offline, which is even more impressive for the potential expansion of Hive like wildfire under the right conditions, and resilience within those communities.
Recently we (Hive) started a campaign of participating to conferences with Web3 Berlin, but that'll continue with more conferences on the horizon.
From what I read, in those conferences we will have applications being presented (like we had HiveAuth, and Exode at Berlin), as well as presentations of the ecosystem or what we stand for here on Hive at the base layer.
Maybe not everywhere Hive will participate we will have such an impressive presence, but it is important to be seen.
In a way, why should we expect others to talk about Hive if we don't? And the professional way to do it, in my opinion, although not cheap, is participating in these conferences and exchanging impressions with others in the industry. Making friends!
Jumping back to what the very resourceful people of Venezuela and Ghana have been up to.
I am going to share a photo from this post of @mcsamm that really impressed me:
After seeing the photo, check out this paragraph:
The conference garnered a tremendous response, with the hall accommodating over 500 participants. Such was the level of interest that some attendees stood outside the hall, unable to enter due to the overwhelming number of participants. Notably, the majority of the attendees were students from the esteemed computer science department, demonstrating their eagerness to enhance their lives and careers with Web3 and blockchain technology.
This is the response they got for a conference put out as a test. The "big one" will be in December.
Oh, and if I'm not mixing things up, 168 new users of Hive joined at this conference. I think that's what mcsamm said at the CTT podcast.
Maybe we, in Europe and the US, are not fully aware of how hungry other people are to integrate into this Web3 space and how much it means to them. That photo speaks a ton, in my opinion. And the fact there were still students outside who didn't have room to get in.
This is not the only example. I expect I'll have a pretty significant section dedicated to this kind of projects in this week's round up.
I'm glad Hive leads the charge in this direction. Young, educated people are far more likely to understand Hive, its ecosystem and apps, and pass the information along, becoming teachers at their turn. They are also more likely to embrace change.

That really seems a big conference
That's my impression too. :)
We have a role to play in making the youth blockchain enthusiasts.
That is true. And they are certainly more receptive to something new and learn easier. Thanks for dropping by!
Learn to earn! Amazing interest from the people!
Yep! I think the organizers were surprised too. They were testing the waters to see what to expect for the conference in December.
It could indeed spread far and wide within these communities when they get a hang of how things work. I think Hive has a more transformational impact in these places and the fact that they are youths adds more impact to it. Impressive number of sign ups :)
Every such youth that starts using Hive has the potential to bring more people in, whether they are friends or family. They are at a point when they are very curious and have an active social life. Maybe high schools would be even better from this point of view if we could capture their attention.
For them, the earlier the contact and understanding of what Hive stands for the better. For us, their feedback is important, because they are the future and while they may not have a defined vision about it, they have some ideas we can use.
Yes, indeed. I think curiosity and being active also greatly helps in understanding and utilizing this technology.
That's a great way to look at it, it creates a synergy that can be useful when building Hive for future users. Perspective always matters.
Thanks @gadrian This is exciting news! Have a great rest of week! Barb :) !BBH !CTP
@gadrian! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @adcreatordesign. (1/1)
Thank you @bbhbot 😊
Yes, great things continue to happen for Hive. Have a great weekend, Barb!
Thanks @gadrian you too! !BBH !CTP
That is a lot of people. The conference isn't only about Hive but I will be happy if a few more people come over here to Hive.
If the conference was "about Hive", few would understand what is about. Web3 they understand (and I believe that's where Hive was talked about), blockchain they understand, and they are attracted by both.

Thanks for sharing.
There are so many people who want to learn web3 in that photo. Well, It's the knowledge we need to know to get a job in the office rn. Some companies need a Web3 Developer. Nice to see that. !ALIVE
@gadrian! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @cursephantom. (8/20)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want, plus you can win Hive Power and Alive Power delegations and Ecency Points in our chat every day.

Many of them are graduating in computer science, from what I read, so blockchain and web3 development are right up their alley, both highly in demand for devs.
It is great to see the growth and acceptance of Hive in South America.
In these areas, Hive will be a game changer for many.
It will be fun watching what they accomplish, and maybe we can learn a thing or two from them.

Yep, both Africa and South America are doing great at integrating Hive.
This is awesome @gadrian! The news is amazing. I wonder what would happen if there was something like this in the United States? How would people react over here? Venezuela and Ghana seem to have some very awesome and gifted people with more desire to change. Have a great weekend! Barb !BBH !CTP
It may not be long until the wave hits the US and Europe. It may be Hive or another crypto project, but something will catch the imagination of the youth.
I sure hope so. If it has hit the US I haven't heard about it, not like we hear about it in Berlin, Ghana or Venezuela! Thanks for your encouragement. I'm really tired of the negativity in our country. Have a great week ahead! 😃 !BBH !CTP
