The Old Dog Heralds: Good News For Steem!
Sure many Steem enthusiasts are a little gloomy with the downturn in the markets.
Would You Like Some Good News?
Yesterday I saw Steem climb and soar in the eyes of many as the two Steemers behind @oracle-d (Matt Starkey, Dylan Leighton) took to the main stage at Decentralized 2018. I had no idea that they'd be speaking here and quite honestly they brought an energy and excitement that no one else on the program did.
They hit the ball out of the park with their presentation about how they’ve built a company without an ICO by using the Steem blockchain. They then explained how they’re bringing investors in to hold Steem Power and use it to reward their community for completing tasks.
Do you see the Steem logo? So did the over 1,000 blockchain enthusiasts!
Matt and Dylan stole the show and had the audience buzzing about Steem!
Why Was This so Important For You?
Unlike Steemfest which was a great celebration among fellow Steemers the presentation by @oracle-d was heard by the BIG movers and shakers in the crypto world.
Business men, lawyers, Fintech giants, investors, leaders in academia and hungry enthusiastic students were exposed to Steem and many wanted to know more!
Last night at the Networking Cocktail I was inundated with questions as I proudly wore the Steem name on my badge.
Who is The Keynote Speaker This Morning!
None other than Roger Ver. Oh Ya!
Thanks for following me on my travels and I look forward to sharing my adventures with you.
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
It was a great pleasure to meet you @kus-knee at the event. We arrived back home late last night after what seems like forever away.... Well,we've been on the road for about the last 4 weeks! Today I'm going to have a rest and play with my little girl, and then tomorrow we start the big job of connecting with the people we have met to discuss bringing in the business. Thanks again for your support!
You did a great job! Enjoy your little one, every moment is precious!
I will be looking more into your project!
This is great news, although markets are completely superficial at the moment. In the end there is only one thing that drives value in the Cryptocosm : Real People using it for real things.

That is so true! In the coming year we will see if there will be more and more successful projects built on Steem. Projects that have multiple income streams and projects with their own SMT's. Time will tell.
@kus-knee thanx for a good and informative post. And a big thanx to @oracle-d 😉
👍 👌 😎
This project I will follow in to the future 🔮 😎

It's interesting!
These guys are great speakers and it's fantastic that they are getting booked to speak on such a big stage. They are passionate Ambassadors of the Steem Blockchain, and it was cool to hear of your chance meeting, and this review of their speech, especially liked to hear that they "hit it out of the park" and that:
They really were great!
Awesome, thanks for representing Steem. And you're right, we could use some good news right about now!
No doubt!

Not necessarily true, crypto is a great hedge against our current financial system. Gold is a hedge too and barely anybody uses it for real things these days.
Hi @kus-knee!
I hope you are well and still in Greece :)
I am sorry for the off-topic comment, but since we discussed about it a couple of days back, I am here to show a very new app regarding contests.
You can find the introduction post here and apparently the project owner is still actively updating (I have seen a recent update 11 days ago)
I hope it will be useful for you!
Wish you the best and just a fyi ..
I have suggested Crete as a destination to the Organizer (one of the high hierarchy ones :P) for the next decentralized! (He seemed to like the idea!)
All the best!

Ok, thanks for the link. I’ll have a look. It was nice meeting you and let’s hope that they pick Crete!
Very welcome news alright! Yes Steemit feels so much smaller now. Not all bad, mind you. Reminds me more of how it was when I started...let's hope the price doesnt get that low again !!
Yes, let’s see what the future brings!
I'm so glad you got to hear about Oracle-D and meet Matt and Dylan in person. They're a great team with a great project and lovely people to boot.
Hope the rest of the conference is just as inspiring. 😊
They were great.
That's fantastic to hear. It's great to get representation at these kind of things and for the likes of you being an splendid ambassador also!!! :0)
It’s been a great conference!
