SteemFest3 - tysiąc dzięki! - Bye bye Kraków
You set Kraków on fire! Thank you for coming from over 47 countries all over the world to "this city you never heard of" (quoting the Steembirds). Two days of conferencing, socializing and chatting, 4-5 nights of partying, showing of your bowling, singing and dancing skills. It was a tiring yet epic edition which would not have been the same without you.
As I am writing this I am struggling with converting SBD to BTC to EURO to Zloty to pay several bills for the event. I've been joking around, just like many of you I guess, about "can I pay in crypto". I hope in the coming years we move on and the "joke" turns into a reality. Just as an example with @aggroed who sponsored with SteemMonsters (resulting in the plankton and minnow discounts!) we tried to "wire" from the USA to my event fiat euro bank account: after 3 weeks it was still not here and we killed it and went for SBD instead - 3 seconds later, ready to spend :)
Although the fire might quench some here in Kraków with you all moving on and back to your origins, the blockchain stays scorching hot. Wish you all the best for now, set fire to your projects, new relationships and creative stories!
See you on the chain,
a humble bow and thank you for coming to SteemFest3, You made it unforgettable!

Thank you for buying a support ticket: @demotruk, @ekitcho, @gtg, @jonching, @nanzoscoop, @nathanmars, @project7, @teamsteem and @victordoan
Thanks to these sponsors about 70% of all attendees could buy a 50% discounted ticket for the event. Thank you!
Thank you Thank you Thank you @roelandp 🙏🏻
I don’t know how you do this!
Organizing an event is challenging as it is.
Organizing an event in a different country is a whole different ballgame.
And organizing an EPIC event as you always do, is just out of this world!
We’re so lucky to have you!
I’m super grateful for the sponsors who allowed us to buy affordable tickets, and the @firepower crew and everyone who helped.
But without you taking the lead and your skills to make stuff happen in the best and most enjoyable way for everyone, there would be no Steemfest.
Steemfest is the community “glue” that connects us way beyond Steemit and discord channels.
You’re basically super glue! 😄
So, so grateful! 🤗

I cannot (yet) begin to describe in words just how significant of an experience this was for me. It was everything and it was amazing. We have a community no other blockchain has. We have a family. Thank you. So much. Thank you for making this happen.
And diversity of that community is impressive as well: app developers and content creators, witnesses and curation groups, experts and beginners.
We are all interdependent and neighbor’s success is my success as well: more active users, more connections, more content, higher utility value of STEEM.
You are right, it does feel like a family!

Another thing I love is how people are helpful and friendly rather than competitive and condescending. We all want to help one another and it's THIS synergy that makes the Steem community so amazing.
I very much agree. I saw that at the London Cryptocurrency Show - Steem was the only place where people were hanging out.
Was this the first Steemfest for you?
Yes, but totally not my last. I hate to travel but this was WORTH IT.
YOU, dear @roelandp
did such a great job.
Count on me if you need my assistance for any next SteemFest.
Thanks for another mind blowing event!
@detlev
Thank you for all of your effort and positivity. Will you be auctioning off your autographed fire sweatsuit and t-shirt?
After Steemfest2 I knew I had to be in Krakow as well. Doing what you do, having a wife and child and 'in between' organising Steemfest3 also welcoming a new little Steemian to your family, only to have to leave them to make Steemfest3 into everything that it was, must have been hard. But you did it and so much more!
@roelandp: you are a LEGEND!
Thank you for organising the best event anyone could ever visit, with the best people anyone could ever meet.
And with all the work you put in (still working away next door in the office while all of us were having the best time), you still made time to check in on me in the ambulance to see if I was OK. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate that.
My thanks also to the rest of the team that worked amazingly hard to make this event into what it was.
I'm already starting to save for next year, because I heard some rumours that it will be a bit further away...who knows.
Either way: can't wait till next year.
I will see you then!
Thanks for everything, @roelandp
Your dedication is out of this world.
